Yeah, When I called Dave he said that he would pull the part off a engine he had in stock if he couldnt locate an extra in the shop. he said he has 2,000 of the R/S's in stock.
On another note. If i were him i would get a better packing method. It came packed in about 500 balled up newspaper pages. (the same way the last kit i ordered came) which is nice but I have seen some dumb UPS drivers lately. I saw a driver in front of my house one day drop a box because he was trying to carry to much, and instead of putting down the rest and picking the dropped one up he slid it across the street with his foot and then tumbled it up the curb like a soccar ball. so... its anyones guess as to how the packages get damaged.
I was bored and READ a lot of those Oklahoma papers, the last shipment was right about when he had to shut down for the tornado that hit nearby.
You are entirely correct, I like the way GEBE packs theirs, with foam and hard space created with cardboard, even if something pierces the outside box, the engine is nestled in an inner sanctum. Can't remember a damaged unit.....
I've put front engines on a couple of trikes, and its all in getting used to the extreme change in steering/handling. You have to really avoid overcompensate with swerving.
