Default Demon's Cycles - experiences?

I posted this on another thread with a different subject but no replies so I figured repost it as a seperate thread.

I have seen some negative feedback on here about Demon's Cycles. They sell some front ends at a good price and I was wondering if anyone has purchased forks from them. Any positive experiences? Is the quality good? DOT and TUV approved?

With all of thenegative posts on here about Demons Cycle, I wouldn't use them. Try the search button at the top of the page and type in "Demons Cycle".

Here is one result. https://www.hdforums.com/m_2054638/tm.htm

True - but you know that old saying that bad news travels faster than good news. The fact is that people like to b1tch about their negative experiences but rarely talk about their good experiences so I was just seeing if there is any out there. Besides, I just read about people having bad experiences with the ebay company, American Classic Motors, but I have dealt with them on multiple occasions and have had great experiences.

I've looked at them myself and also have heard some bad comments, doubt I would base my decision to buy from them on the comments entirely. Buy from them and use Paypal, if problems thenfile a dispute through PP.I've done his a couple times with Ebay store vendors that I've not had a good transaction with or problems with parts, refunds etc. and you will be suprised how fast they will make sure your happy or get you a refund. Paypal will drop or suspend priveleges to vendors quickly or soI understand making it very hard on them to do business.If its something you want dont be afraid to takeat least a first chance regardless of bad comments.

I bought a front end from Demon Suckers. I won't even look at their site anymore, much less buy from them.
I bought a 6* raked triple tree set, and 4" extended forks. The forks were all scratched up when I opened them. Not terrible scratched, but still scratched. The triple trees would not fit on any Sportster newer than 2004, even though they say they do! they just DO NOT fit. They offered a refund (because of the not fitment), but wanted to charge a 17% re-stocking fee (even though it was their mistake), I had to pay for return shipping, andthe refundwas only if everything was in "100% perfect shape". Well it wasn't even close to perfect shape when I got it! So I figured I'd end up wasting time and money on shipping, and sold them on eBay for about 1/2 of what I paid!

I don not personally recommend Demon Suckers. Their customer service was TERRIBLE !!!

Default Demons Cycle Mirrors Class Action Suit

I bought a set of mirrors from demonscycle.com
They broke.
The website said they are billet.
After talking to claims guy (Robert), he said buy another set.
So, I did.
Within a week they broke.
I talked to the claims guy, he said buy another set.
I did not.
I brought it to the attention of the GM.
He said he would "look into it" and "talk to the owner"
A month later, I found myself laying in bed unable to sleep with anger.
The next day, I filed complaints with the BBB and the FTC.
They have now taken over the complaint.
Although, it may continue as a class action suit.
So, if you had problems with your demons cycle mirrors.
Feel free to post here for a continued complaint.
I posted all the communication between demons cycle and myself here:
http://videomarines.com/DemonsCycle/
I have included pictures and statements and will update that URL as things develop.
