Extremely excited!
 
Been emailing and playing phone tag with Alan Tang over at Excalibur Motorsports for well over a month, and I just now received some great news!

Not all that long ago, the last orange Brozz he had access to was sold, so Alan wrote up a purchase order for me for my second choice; a red one. My money transfer went through just yesterday, and now we're looking at my bike being shipped out next week. He did confirm for me that my bike is a 2016 with the rack, digital cluster, inverted forks, remote start, and the 19/17 tire size setup.

I'm excited to get her home and put together!

Now to decide on some hand guards and which color muffler to get after she's broke in.....

I don't blame you.

Wow this is like the fourth one I think in the past week.

That's awesome. I would be excited too. I'm sure you'll love it.

Not that you asked, but my opinion on the hand guards, don't get ones that look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The reason being that they don't fit well (not on my Enforcer anyway). I ended up returning them. The levers do not fit well in these guards; they extend too far outwards, thus hitting the inside of the guards. So, both that and the front brake fluid reservoir have to be turned down quite a bit. I didn't like that.

I have seen this on Hawks before so I know that people can make them work. But, it really doesn't fit well. Just saying...

I seen the inverted forks in pix and wondered what's the deal and assumed that people were swapping them out. Dang it guys ,,, now I want one of them too. Future son in law wants a bike ! Link me to where I can get one ? I think he NEEDS this one :D

dossbag 03-18-2017 09:39 AM

Yep.. I really like these. Very Storm-ish I was looking at one at PowersportsMax just today lol

I honestly did look at those, and I'm glad you spoke up. Once you returned them, did you try any other styles or brands?

I am going to buy ones that do not screw into the end of the handlebar. So, they won't wrap around. I'm probably going to order ones from Powermadd or Acerbis.

Call Alan at Excalibur 909 591 8800. Or email him at excaliburmotorsports@gmail.com www.atv4usa.com I would suggest to call him, as you can get him 'live.' As I tell everyone--Excalibur can sell retail, but they do not have a flashy site with everything up to date as they are primarily wholesale, and their main line nowadays is TGB scooters http://tgbscooters.us/ BUT, excalibur is located a stone's throw from Kandi USA, the current distributor, and even on their site, you can see they do wholesale/retail Kandi go karts, so he is at Kandi a few times a week.

Those are the ones I have.
I made extenders for the end of my bars so they would fit. Works fine now.

Congrats on the purchase! Alan is a stand up guy.

Unless anyone has bought a few to stock (I doubt it) the last orange Brozz ANYONE has access to was bought by goat67, LOL, until the next shipment comes in. With red selling like the proverbial hotcakes as an orange substitute, I think greens will be the only color left in the next few weeks.

SPOILER ALERT:

Simon, that ss/aluminum exhaust isn't the only thing I bought today ;)

Are you saying you are going to make yourself an orange Brozz?

BigWeld 03-18-2017 05:44 PM

Yup. The first "matte finish Koi Orange" Brozz to be more specific.:yay:

Here's an example of the color:
