pipeyeti - TRUST me. I am not one to usually roll over. But the fact is I can't get down there, or force him over the phone to do the honorable thing...

It's hard to admit our mistakes. I'm really sorry to hear you got screwed over warning or not. Good on you for sharing your experience though. Hopefully it will spare someone else from the misery of dealing with them.

I hope so man. Tried to give a place a second chance to redeem themselves, you know?
Like I said, even as I write this I don't have even the full amount they promised. But I couldnt let others get burned...

That place will not be in business for much longer after this type of service. That is guaranteed.

Sorry you went through all this **** with those clowns. Thanks for doing the right thing and letting us know about it. Even if you had received your refund you should have still come in here and let it be known that they pretty much swindled you.

Hope you get it squared away in time to do some riding.

They'll get theirs dude. You better believe that.

Sorry for the terrible and expensive experience.
I have to say that is one of the best writes ups I have read. You didn't use profanity once.
My review would have been unreadable with all the expletives.
You Sir are a gentleman.
Its a shame too. I really liked their fishtail exhaust.
