That figures. I don't purchase from Motowheels after a terrible experience where they delayed my order for several (7) months due to an employee issue who was representing the company but didn't even work there anymore. Motowheels never resolved the issue and I had to work with the manufacturer in Italy who absorbed some costs to get me my parts directly (Motowheels already had my $700). Information from the manufacturer indicated that Motowheels flat out lied about stock and shipments causing my order to be bypassed for a few months.
But yes, the Andreani cartridges are great. 😝
That sucks, I've ordered from them before, but they do not ship where I live, so I actually drove there on my way home from a Texas project via NoCal where my sons live. Had very good service, the fellow even carried out my goodies to my rental car...that said, I just was on Motowheels website, and they offer zero parts for a 2012 Carbon. As in none.
I am deciding now whether to go with this kit, or one of the Matis cartridge kits kit that Bellisimoto offers. Going to go with the Nitron grey rear shock I think, seems like a vendor that offers a custom ride height along with better suspension for no additional charges is a rare bird.
The girl is still up in ChiangMai at mechanic's shop awaiting pick-up, will ship down to me for @$120 (12 hour trip each way)...been riding the 2008 DS 1100S Multi he just finished and tuned on dyno...rebuilt the Ohlins, added the newly fabricated titanium exhaust system, "patched" the leak on left side of bike that looked a gusher...and put a new ECU which was $500 (something about a valve code issue not fixable...and his English is as great as my Thai). Total damages: including ECU? Oh yeah, and he changed the 11 year old timing belts...total with parts and labor: $700 US.
When he had the Multi, he dialed in that Italian ECU: it isa dream to ride compared to the Diavel (purchased in November, 2022, 32,000 KM and $7000 while needing new tires desperately). Can't wait to test out the bike after he tunes it. A former racer here and the best mechanic north of Bangkok for any big bike, and make. "Sa Moto" in ChiangMai outskirts, ask for Phansa if ever in Thailand and needing motorcycle work. That's a "Pa" not a "Fa" sound.
Word: Use those "grip puppies" that old ladies use on the mopeds...no vibration for under $2. Been using them now for a decade...night and day hand numbness reduction. They spilt after 8-10 months....most of us can swing $4/year. I carry to extra sets in Givi.
So anyone have any info on those Matis cartridge kits?
