I am completely beside myself as to what to do. All I know is the weather is getting nice, my bike is in pieces, I started this project back in Feb and have over $4k in PM parts that I can't do sh*t with. I have been all about deep breaths these days.
well, if there is anyone who can relate to you is me bro. This is exactly what i went through with my wheels. I actually got a hub set from PM for my Arlen Ness wheel and it did not fit, i got stuck paying for shipping as well. they didn't seem to really care about my problem so i stopped dealing with them.

good luck to you man. what i had to do to get my point across is be really annoying and call every other day.

good luck to you man, hope you get on the road soon.

Well with a little bit of threating and an aggressive stance they got a fire under their *** and seems like thing are moving forward. Will keep you posted. Why the F8ck does simple business have to be so difficult.

Besides your dislike of PM what is the actual problem? What is the fitment issue?

HOLY SH*T! IT FITS ITS FITS! After 3 trips across the country the rim finally fits centered. I am off to powder coat and paint. Should have her back in 2 weeks. Key word is should!
