I don't think its a void.
I think that the hassle, skill, parts, and communication take more than 24 hours a day and the prices need to reflect that to justify the process the market is moving.. and this is an adjustment. there are places still to have motors build. my race shop has a 2 year wait list... they insist on installing, breaking it in, and dyno-ing the motor. the cost is HUGE... and no warranty I just don't think the effort involved by a skilled person or shop... will support 5K engines with warranties.... maybe china can back fill that niche? (not likely) we are loosing soo much skill I've been building a 50year old motorcycle for a few years every one of the specialist shops are amazing... but they are also very old owners with very unique knowledge... all of them will be gone in 5-10 years all of their knowledge will be gone too. owners can do it themselves... or pay the pro's what they earn through hard work $$$$$ |
