Not only do I have the sheave, but he is my parts dealer!!!
Talking about OEM parts, James offered me a killer deal on one of his machined sheaves which I bought. The weekend before Thanksgiving I took apart my CVT to do maintenance on the secondary and install the new sheave. What I found was that two of the rivet heads had sheared off and destroyed the faces of both sheaves, primary and secondary. I called James and he told me about the early 700 secondary sheaves doing that and that Yamaha had been selling an improved sheave with a different part number because of this problem. Long story short, he had all the parts I needed to repair except the two parts that make up the secondary which was a couple weeks out. I ordered all the parts, and told him I would try to find the secondary local, using the part number he gave me. I called everywhere and no one had it in stock, and the one thing everyone I called had in common was it was going to cost upwards of 500 dollars, double what James quoted me. I called James back and told him I would order from him, and that I will have to go to desert without Rhino. The next morning I received a package from UPS that had been sent overnight. He sent me a good secondary sheave with a gold spring installed to use for free until my new sheave came in. All this from someone I have never met before, and only talked on the phone with a couple times. This guy truly loves Rhinos and the people in this sport. Customer service is beyond top notch IMO!

I run one and I would recommend it to anyone I know... except my enemies!

Also... Quick shout out to James for helping me out yesterday installing my cam in my 700! I called him at least 5 times just to make sure we had everything right! I took it down the street and I can definitely feel the power increase on the low end! I will update with my build thread later...

I have a JBS Sheave as well as some engine mod's that james has done for me....I know james and his wife nikki and i will tell you they are great people that are a great addition to the SXS community. I have met some good people throughout the years of ridding atv's and SXS's and bought a lot of parts, hands down JBS has the best costumer services that you will ever find.

JBS FOR LIFE......
