Anybody dealt with this company? I found them thru a GOOGLE search for Motorcycle Flag Poles... They manufacture a 1" diameter, solid aluminum pole which disassembles into 18" lengths & is guaranteed to withstand road speeds up to 45 mph. The product isn't cheap - not that I expected it to be & they make an adapter so it'll fit nicely into the 1.25" RIVCO flag mount that I've already got. It seems ideal for the many PGR Missions I attend, especially the funeral home-to-cemetery escorts. I placed an order for (3) poles with the adapters for the Ultra on 30 October, figuring I'd have them for the Albany Veterans Day Parade. I went to the site to see if I could track the order, but there was no option for that. I called the listed phone # (316-775-6244) & got a message that the number has either been changed or disconnected. They won't answer emails & my credit card reflects the charges. If anybody can drive by
Gray Machine & Engineering
207 W. 3rd Ave.
Augusta, KS 67010
& see if they're still in operation, or if anyone has done business with this operation, I'd appreciate hearing from you...
Thanx in advance.

I ordered a flag pole mount, kit, and some other stuff back in September to the tune of about $300.00
The accepted my payment, but I never received anything, and now the number is disconnected and they will not reply to any correspondence.
Something is definitely fishy here...

Their website is gone (suspended likely for non-payment/non-renewal).

From another thread I found dealing with this issue someone actually drove to the address and it was vacant and the next business to it wouldn't share any info as was posted over at v twins forums in forums/dealership-shop-experiences-online-retailers/199860-gray-machine-engineering-augusta-ks.html thread
