Rode one of the first ones he did . That thing is way to fast for its weight ! It doesn't stop so good with the O.E.M brakes.
I am sure that has been addressed or hope so anyway ......

Yes have some of Bobs goodies in my Rocket and she is a brute. I haven't noticed any brake problems with the OEM brakes yet. I really love the combo Carpenter kit with the Rotrex Supercharger.
