Unhappy Just venting here, don't mind me

So literally a week and a half ago I dropped of my Rocker at the stealer to have the V&H BR 2-2, a cone shaped air cleaner and the Harley race tuner installed.

Here I am, a week and a half later and no bike still !!!! How come you ask?
Well, evidently the bracket that i provided them to install the air cleaner was the wrong one.
They had to order a new bracket.

After showing up at the dealer twice and being told that they are waiting for the bracket to arrive so they can finish the job. I called today and was told that the bracket was being shipped and would be here on monday. The weather here couldn't be nicer, I wanted to participate on the fall ride being held tomorrow at OCC and i'm stuck with no bike !!!!

I actually saw the bike from a distance while it was sitting in the shop with the pipes on. IT'S TORTURE !!!!

ok, i'm done now. thanks for listening.

hey bro, no problem. nothing that can be done you know. i guess it was my fault for bringing the wrong bracket (what the hell do i know).

It's killing me cause i know that our days are numbered before the snow/cold weather gets here.

Alain... I most def understand where you are coming from, because I haven't been riding for almost a month now. Just today I was able to get my ride back, but I am having problems with my seat. The bad luck draw for being short. LOL.

A week... two?...

Try over 12 weeks waiting on a gas tank that was leaking...

Had I taken their advise and let them keep the bike until the tank came in I would have been with out the bike for three months...

Three frucking months....

Gotta love the service...

+2 on doing your own work. I do a lot of my own stuff on my bike. I love wrenching on it anyway.
