Default GETTING RUNAROUND FROM STEALER

[:@][:@][:@]WHen i bought my bike the dealer installed all the equipment. The first time my wife sat on the bike, she informed me the pass pegs were uneven. i immediatly called the stealer and told him it was unacceptable, and extramley uncomfortable for my wife. he told me that because the pipes i chose were a 2-1 the peg had to be moved up. i of course told him that was fine just raise the left peg to be even.i dropped the bike off and when i picked it up the service mgr tells me that vance & hines gave the peg support to them for the right side but didnt have one for the left. i informed him that i was sure he had a fix and that i couldn't possibly be the first person to have this problem. i told him to get a reasonable fix for the issue or change the pipes out to one that would not have this issue. i also told him i need it fixed before my new owner survey arrives at my house. i am now patiently waiting for his response or my survey..lol

Quite interesting. Women are very picky andyour wifenailed this one right.Hardly the stealer's fault, they did what YOU ordered. V&H should've mentioned that "inconvenience" or provided the left extension. Let us know what happens.

I don't think it is really the dealers fault. If anything,, it's a design flaw from the manufacturer. (Not providing hardware for the other footpeg) Ya can't really knock the dealer for this one. IMHO

My moneys on the stealer telling you its not their problem. You can try to use the survey as a bargaining chip, good luck on that. I'd invest in a set of $69 offset peg mounts and move on.

Vance & Hines dosent supply the left peg bracket. You have to purchase it separately. I wasnt informed either. Not a big deal to me. The kit comes with everything to install the pipe with, nothing more.

What a wasted post. Quit whining and give the dealer a chance to get the part in and installed.
