Called JD Jetting on Friday and very politely asked the man that answered the phone if he would take my order for a needle. His response was the most condescending speech I’ve heard in over 30 years. Went on and on about how I need to buy a kit if I want that particular needle and how they NEVER sell individual parts.
When he finished his speech I told him a nice lady took my call a couple years back and sold me that same needle all by itself. After all but calling me a liar in another two minute undressing I politely told him I didn’t need all the brass that comes in his kits and to have a nice day. I then called Slavens Racing where they were more than happy to take my money and send me a tracking number for a 38mm Lectron 10 minutes later.
I’ll spend a grand testing Keihin needles before I give those pricks at JD another cent.
Long distance ride report coming in September.
