My choice was do something else or get another frame. I didn't think twice and ordered my SECOND frame from Rolling Thunder with the correct rake. Although they indicated they'd help me unload the original frame, I thought it fair that since it was my mistake, I'd take care of it. It seemed like the right thing to do...because after all...I couldn't point to a single thing on the frame that wasn't perfection or exactly what I asked for. Their frames are work of art. I've seen frames you put motors in and spend hours shimming. Both frames...both motors...slipped in like grease with absolutely no requirement for adjustment. (Give credit to TP Engineering for a flawless motor as well, I guess.) I can't speak highly enough of Rolling Thunder.

These guys are great. They know what they are doing, care about what they are doing, and their customer service is one of the best I have ever seen. Like I told Sam, in this day and age when most businesses only care about the bottom line, it was refreshing to have a company respond to any and all questions in such a timely manner. Just a quick example, I had a problem with my rear swing arm and asked a question on a Friday morning, Sam got back to me that afternoon and called me at 6:30 pm that Friday night to help resolve the issue. Most people would have put that on the "to do list" for Monday(maybe) and here Sam was working on it that Friday night. If I build another bike, I wouldnt use anyone other than Rolling Thunder.
