Just curious to hear stories of that day you rushed home from work ... saw the box on the front porch ... ripped it open ... only to pull out what you ordered and go ...
"Oh. Really? Well THAT'S not what it looked like online/in the catalog."
Happened to me yesterday when I got my saddlebag liners yesterday.
So I thought it'd be interesting to hear other disappointing stories.
My purchase regret would be a pair of speaker grills I bought from these guys - https://www.facebook.com/LegacyBaggers - complete junk, they looked like cheap painted silver plastic and for $100 - seriously - I threw them away
Remember those submarines in the back of comic books you could order when you were a kid, I ordered one and basically got a card board box, I was so devastated. Anyway, as far as saddle bag liners I bought some from Saddlemen, very well made. http://www.saddlemen.com
I have to say it was the bike itself. I loved it for 800 miles until it spun a wrist pin bushing. Then I like it for the next 40,000 miles until it roached the crank pin. Now I wish I could afford to replace it.
