OT but I have to ask. Are you the Dave Sprinkle I saw the other night on TV that is involved with Motoczysz? I thought I recognized the name when watching "Birth of a racer" but couldn't remember from where. If it is you, what an amazing company! Jim Yep, that's him. Dave is a very humble guy... I rode to Everett and back with him one Teener Tuesday last Autumn to Mr Bovey's house, and he never mentioned MotoCzysz or TRD. All that I knew at the time was that he was an unemployed engineer... |

I installed the circuit board in Babydoll today and WOW, what a difference! No more bucking! This is the most awesome (and necessary) part I've seen in a long time. Thanks Dave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) In other news, I'm so happy it came with 2 rivets. I promptly lost one in my kitchen and it still hasn't turned up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm gratified to hear your repair was successful. Thanks for following up. I'm glad you were able to use the spare rivet. That 3/32" rivet can be troublesome to source -- most hardware stores only carry 1/8". |

How does a guy go about buying one of these Dave? PM on it's way. Do you have a thread in the member vendor forum here?

I don't think I'm in the vendor section yet. Guess I should do that... By the way, the thread title is a bit misleading. These are $35/each, not $30. |

Hey @Davesprinkle , we meet again! (Talhina ride and some Dallas events) anywho...
Ive read through this thread and also done a fair amount of researching any mention of a 1.8 DJet TPS board??? Did you happen to make these by chance and if so what is the best means to contact and procure? Thanks for your amazing dedication! John Foster 1974 Ravenna Green 1.8 (Wazabi) |

Sorry, I never made any of the Ljet boards. Not sure how you would go about getting that fixed. Probably just need to get a replacement sensor. With regard to the Djet boards, I have a handful left, but I'm not going to make any more. I believe that 914rubber is now making these. I'm glad to have supported the community with these, but there's just not a big enough market to support two vendors. Thanks again. Good luck. |
