Default John w/Herko ? OK? Cam Tensioner kit

Anybody know if John is still in business? Is he ok? Out of town maybe? Left for Sturgis?

Emailed him 2 months ago...he emailed me back right away...Now for a couple of days been ready to buy his kit, along with cams.....and I can't get ahold of him by email/phone?

Just was curious...

John is out of business for the foreseable future; noone knows why. Some say his suppliers are have discontinued discounts as the MoCo is trying to weed out independents like John. Some say he is involved in another business venture and he can't do both but I don't know why he has suspended operation.

So, you have a couple of options:

1. Andrews offers a kit
2. Woods offers a kit
3. GMR offers a kit
4. Order the parts direct from Zanotti's or another online discount dealer for about $370; here's the parts list:http://www.andrewsproducts.com/PDF_f...99-06chain.pdf

Got an email today...he's not selling any more kits until further notice. I ordered the Wood kit with the TW6-6r cams from Fuelmoto.

They assured me the kit has "Everything" needed....but I stopped by the HD dealership and ordered the spacer kit and cam cover gasket just in case..... Along with the oil filter and exhaust gaskets, can always return them.

I wish John the best in these rotten economic times!!
