Default Fuel Moto Shipping Delays

Anyone else recently experienced delays in orders from Fuel Moto? I took the advice of a great deal of posters on the board and ordered my new V&H exhaust, PC III and A/C from them last week and it still hasn't shipped. Something about the exhaust supplier in Wisconsin was out of stock so waiting on supplier in CA to send parts.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues. It's gonna be 85 degrees here in NC this weekend and my b-day is today so I really wanted these parts.

I feel ! Hope the parts get here so I can be .

When they are out of stock at their shop as at any they have to wait for the pipes to arrive. It is a fact of life. Happy Birthday and sorry to hear about the delay. We have the same problem occasionally. Vance and Hines is here in SoCal.

Ya, you could be waiting weeks or even months! It's spring & everybody is ordering stuff & that put the manufacturers behind & so on.....Just kidding! LOL!

I've dealt with FM twice. Great shipping times both times. I'm certain if you are having to wait there is no way for them to get around it. They are really stand-up guys!

It happens. I want to buy a set of grips from Kuryakyn but they are not available 'til May. I'd venture to say if you had ordered the pipes directly from V&H you would still be waiting on them.

i have nothing but GOOD things to say about Fuel Moto. Great buncha' folks who gave me the best customer service I've received in a Looong time.
Still, sucks when something is out of stock and I have to wait - so I can appreciate your frustration.
