Also, in today's posting, you said you received your parts two days ago so you must have received them Thursday, May 6.

So....your order couldn't have been placed until at the earliest of May 4.

The ONLY way you could have received the parts by May 6 would have been for you to pay HIGH shipping prices to get the parts almost overnight.

Like I said ......BULLEFFINGCRAP!!!!


If you don't have enough sense to change a door **** in your house and have to take your bike to a stealer to check the air in the tires, don't knock the rest of us that enjoy saving some money by buying elsewhere and doing the work ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well hello Maxwell Smart. You figured me out. Dammit, You should have been in charge of that search weapons of mass destruction.

I did order them on Tuesday. The day after my post. The exhaust arrived Thursday. The Fuelmoto stuff Friday. Was this some information worthy of posting? Am I the UPS man? Should I have given you tracking numbers? What was there to tell at that point? That I went against my instincts? Like the poster before you said, I'm a hypocrite?

No, I thought I'd wait until I had something to say. And I regret doing it with the big online parts outfit. Am I a hypocrit for trying it? Yes. Damn straight yes. I won't do it again. Will you?

I haven't even opened the Fuelmoto box yet. Guess I should return it to save face.

Now, explain again how I'm a troll, ****head?

Btw I ordered on the 4th arrived on the 6th. Free shipping. Just to blow your mind, if you have one left Troll, I sold and shipped a part on Monday and it was received on Tuesday. UPS. $15.00. Computers. Modern transport. Technology. Learn it.

All the crap I order online and all the crap I get at the dealer is almost always right. I have had to return the wrong part a couple of times to the dealer. They were good about it but it still cost me an extra trip. I only had to send back one item that I bought online from a small company. Once I called them they apologized for the mistake and told me that I received something that was for display only. They corrected the mistake--sent another expensive item to me and trusted me to return the defective part. Glad I don't have your luck on online ordering.

I wonder how many online places have actual stores or stock. It's easy to sell something cheap that you don't have in the first place.

Regarding the matter of my stripped out collector clamp. Do I call the people that sold it to me, the number on the instructions by the eople that made it or do I go to the auto parts store and pick one up?

These were American made pipes. A third grader could write up clearer instructions. A fourth grader could have came up with better refinement points. Wait until you hear this review.

All about perception. It's like having a MiA/POW patch sowed onto your communist china made vest while wearing your communist made HD boots and flipping off a kid riding a Jap bike because they bombed Pearl harbor.

What was your question?
