Update on RB Designs

Just an update on RB Designs - I've been emailing back and forth with Ron and I asked if he could clarify what his status is due to the different messages we're getting from different folks on the forum. Some have said that he's fully retired and not accepting work any longer, and some have said that he's in semi-retirement and still working. Here is his response which he said I could share with the forum - good news!:

"As for what I’m up to, well I am slowing way down, but still doing KDX work. I am only selling brand new carbs with my mods already done (99% of the stock carbs are worn out and need too many parts and time to replace anyway).

I do the stock 220 head mods (no longer doing the 200 heads). I do accept machine work, at my choosing on what I will do.

I have gone into a semi-retirement, but still doing work of my choosing and at my pace as I love doing what I do for the KDX 200/220..., but I’m getting older and need to "stop and smell the roses" so to speak and spend time with family and myself. So if you are in a rush or have strict time restraints I’m not interested in the work, but if I can do it on my timeline and not in a big hurry it’s a go....

Ron"

That is phenomenal news. I emailed Ron about 2 months ago asking for a second RB PWK and he said he is “no long doing them”. So maybe with mention of this site I can attain 1 more?

Damn, I just got a KDX and was planning on doing the RB carb as one of my first upgrades. Any one else doing these types of mods?

frpoffroad.com used to offer a carb mod service. It is not the same exact modifications as an RB carb.
