Default Martin Bros. Bikes Still in Business?

I was wondering if anyone might know what is going on with Martin Bros? I ordered a set of daisy cutters for my rocker back on May 4th and was told it would be 3 weeks until I got them. Well I still dont have them and now they never answer the phone or return any messages that I left. Up until about a month ago if you called enough times in a day you would finally get someone to answer the phone and they would give me some sort of a reason for the delay, I guess I'm just getting a little frustrated now that they wont even answer the phone since they were paid for them over 3 months ago. Any info someone might have would be apprieciated.

I hope they did! I had a problem with my Shockwave exhaust and they would not help me at all. To top it off, the guy was smart-azz. If I were you I would see if I could cancel my order and find another option. Whatever comes of it I hope everything works out for you.

Lots of cool stuff out there. I loved the way the Martin Brothers looked and sounded but when they turned yellow(after proper tuning) and then the chrome started to flake I was done. They told me to bad. Azzholes.

Yeah, I don't know anyone who has had their stuff butt I thought it looked pretty cool and have'nt seen any on a rocker around here. I guess that I might go with the V&H big radius 2 into 1, just really wanted something different.

Tried contacting them several times myself but got no response also. Guess they're to busy making custom choppers. I did order a set of pipes and wasn't impress with their quality at all...IT SUCKED!
Blue Rocker I got a chrome Big Radius 2into1 for sale it was on my bike for about 6 months PM me if interested

When I ordered my daisycutters it took about 5 weeks to get them. This was over a year ago.

I don't care for many custom builder made parts. Seems like they are mostly show and no go and lack quality in construction. Basically they're good looking junk. I'm not a real fan of most custom bikes anyway. Most are built more for looks rather than the practicality of actually riding them on a regular basis. You couldn't turn around on some of those long and low bikes they make unless you were in a mall parking lot. Indian Larry was one of the exceptions in my book. His bikes were made to ride.
