Exclamation Nash Motorcycle Co. STAY AWAY!!!!!!

Hey guys, just want to warn anyone considering to purchase anything from Nash... to just NOT do it. Look them up on BBB. Tons of cases and an "F" rating. Look them up on Facebook and read all the bad reviews, or even just browse some of the picture or status comments. They are riddled with people upset from being ripped off.... Taber Nash is a parasite to the custom motorcycle community and is literally ripping people off. Here's my case..


-Ordered a set of handle bars on 5/8/14. Quoted 4-6 weeks.

-after 8 weeks I called, no answer. Left Voicemail, no returned call.

-after a couple more weeks, same thing, plus email... no answer.

-couple more weeks... call, phone lines are not in service.

-finally emailed saying I would dispute case with PayPal if they cannot communicate with customers. Never heard anything back.

-Called Paypal to get money back. They called Nash, and magically got the owner on the phone... he informed them that the bars shipped but when asked to provide shipping proof he could not. This same day, I finally got an email saying "Sorry we have been very busy your bars are shipping soon".

at this point he has already lied to paypal and to me. I didn't even respond to his email.

a week later I followed up with PayPal. The opened the case, and again I got an email from Nash saying "Your bars are done and ready to ship. You will see a tracking number in a day or two". This was last week.... never heard back.

-got an email from PayPal saying my case was closed because the transaction is too old. I am out close to $500 bucks.

I will get my money back ONE way or another...




So, even if you didn't read all of that... short story is... STAY AWAY FROM NASH MOTORCYCLE COMPANY!!

My satisfaction will be spreading the word about this **** company at every bike show, forum & in between, steering away as much business for them as I can.

When I bought my Slim last August, I was riding down Melrose and I saw a custom motorcycle in a shop window. I turned around to check out the shop, and it turned out to be Nash! I talked with Tabor while we looked at my bike discussing the possibilities of changing up my rear fender. He seemed like a cool cat and seemed to have business running properly. I know he moved out of there after a while and I don't know where to. I am sorry to hear this. He had some really sweet builds in the shop. I hope you get your money back!

I am going to call them again today. Since it was not an ebay transaction, there apparently is a window in which they can refund... once that passes, you're basically screwed.

Cool dude or not, one thing is for sure... he's lying to people. If you look on Facebook.... they are mostly great reviews up until about a year ago... then it's virtually ALL one star's, with similar situations as mine.
