So Dave just sent me these updates as there was a lot of trouble with the Dresda swing arm not aligning properly, so unfortunately we had to go back to the original swing arm. At first I was kind of bummed when he explained why but now that I see it on the bike I actually like it more. It maintains being a Honda which is nice.
Dave is such a perfectionist it's insane. Most people would just throw the Dresda on and be like, "it's on" but he checked it and didn't feel it'd perform to function and also run the risk of bottoming out. I love his honesty.
Speaking of, he had the tank wrapped and put in his office to avoid dinging it and he called me to be explain that a torque wrench (of course) hit the tank still and needed to fix the tank. Not only did he take care of it himself, the painter, took it back and did an even BETTER job free of charge. He even redid the seat and headlamp just in case the paint wasn't exact. These guys are the most on point I've encountered in pay for work scenarios and to have both of them on the same project is such a blessing. Obviously you might know David from E3MC on the forums but the painter is Drmotor1.com. Super reasonable, hard working, honest and got my tank done over Christmas weekend in less than 4 days and said if I wasn't satisfied he'd do it again free of charge (and he did though it was our bad). He's in the NYC area.
Bike is looking great, cannot wait to ride the thing, fortunately it's not even that cold out.
