Be patient man, you know what they say-"good things come to those who wait"
Ryan WILL deliver- but you have to understand 1 guy can only do so much and he is a really busy guy.

I heard from Ryan this morning. Turned out he was attacked by a bear he was tracking and had to resort to hitting it over the head w/ some stroker kit he'd been dragging around in his backpack intending to ship from Alaska. And as a final insult to the bear, he shoved his cell phone up it's @ss. Guess that explains everything, eh?

Speaking from a bears point of view:"OUCH" Now even I have an urge to poo everytime my cell phone rings.

Soooooo... Did you get a bear?

Yes... 320-350LB I should have skull & cape back this week & will measure it out when I get it, it's around a 6 foot. It was biggest one our group got, there were 7 guys hunting, 5 got bears & the other 2 passed on some. We were on Prince of Wales island in SouthEast Alaska (about 40 miles west of Ketchikan) It's a hot bed of Black bears, but they are getting overhunted in the last 2-3 years & getting a bigger more record size 7-8 foot bear is getting very difficult anymore. This one came out in middle of stream I was hunting on the 1st night, 60 yards.... came out to grab a Pink Salmon & luckily she only went 8 feet after the shot & collapsed in the stream..... I was not looking forward to tracking it through the woods after dark by myself... Alaska woods/territory makes anyplace else I've been seem like a joke... thickest most difficult to get through terrain I've ever seen. Alot of the woods are almost completely dark inside in the middle of the day, that is how thick it is.

We tracked a buck for a buddy who hit one the 1st morning & there were places where I had to literally crawl through the forest on my hands & knees to get through/under the overgrowth/downed trees. I got pics of one tree that had a 5 1/2 foot base... & guy who hit buck said later on in the week he discovered a place down by a river that had a tree with a 9-10 foot base on it... It was definitely an interesting experience.

I really appreciate everyone telling me to be patient with my money, especially seeing that I laid down $2450.00 on August 20th. However, I have been patient enough. Now I'm finding out that he ordered a 4.15 crank instead of a 4.25 crank, now I'm getting pissed. I think just about all of you would have a similar reaction. I'm tired of hearing that my stroker kit is continually changing piston dish cc, now I find out that they ordered a 4.15 crank instead of a 4.25. A little update now and then would be nice, but this is out of control.

Yep it looks like I completely F'd up & ordered the wrong pistons/crank stroke. Nothing to say other than I screwed up... I just got off Phone W/ Darren & I will send him call tags for his 4.15" kit to be returned & get him a 4.25" done ASAP.

I HAD the right 4.25" crank sitting here ordered originally then got screwed up when I was forced to change pistons from KB842's that we wanted over to Probe's since nobody had KB's till end of October @ earliest. & I completely biffed & ordered Probes for a 4.15" instead of the 4.25" crank. & then when we got pistons & they said they were for 4.15" I did not re-verify that the crank was ordered wrong, I went on the assumption that it was to be a 4.15" crank instead of 4.25 since Probe does'nt even MAKE a 4.25" piston for the 7.1 rod like the KB842 was....

What a nightmare, for both of us. If anybody needs a real nice 4.15" K1 Crank internally balanced W/ K1 H beams & a Probe Dish piston let me know, I'll make someone a deal on it.

Again I apologize to Darren & we will hopefully have his correct 4.25" kit on the way this week.
