Default Long Ride Windshield

Well I will prob get **** for putting this on the forums but this is BULLSHIT. I order a windshield from them and its defective.

" looks like a chemical stress fracture.

We can go ahead and replace that for you, I do ask however that you send it back so that my engineers can look at it and verify that it was not something else.

I will send a return ship label with the new windshield. "


Have not seen a new one OR got a response from my emails as to where is my new one. My next step will be a CC dispute since paypal says they wont dispute over quality.

POOR QUALITY AND SERVICE

BE AWARE WHEN U ORDER

I feel your pain, not enough space to tell the horror stories I had with them, and when I posted like you I got totally blasted, Matt seems nice enough but his company is way out of control, he releases products before the bugs are worked out, then he deals with problems replacing defective products that never should have been released, don't know how he makes money this way, good luck

Oh i am almost sure ill get blasted to BUT if there is a sponsor on the board , that they want us to buy from so they help support the forums WELL shouldn't they be decent ?I realize stuff happens and am usually understanding but at some point in time a seller need to make good on a defective product . I know some people got them and are happy BUT theres allot here that are selling them or just plain not happy with the performance of these. I was ok with mine just OK its not great and not bad . It really didn't deflect the wind any better than my flat windshield but one that is just cracking up for no reason ( no rocks or anything hit it) is really inexcusable

I wonder if he even has a PC to read all the bad things that are being said about LRS..Takes a long time to rebound from bad word of mouth. In this economy you have to be a step above to survive!!!
I order a 8" Ultra Curve and seem like a good product..A couple days later I saw he was offering $10.00 off any shield. I emailed twice and not one response..Suppose my next shield will be with someone else!

I ordered one last month (11 inch with recurve, light smoke), and it was defective. There were imperfections imbedded in the plastic, and it appeared to be streaked. I called and they sent me a new one immediately, and told me to just keep the old one. The new windshield is OK, but has a few minor imperfections. I don't like the hazy or cloudy nature of their material...it looks like it has a film on it. I wanted a smoked appearance (i.e. darker material, but not cloudy), not opaque. Live and learn.

Pick up the phone and call them. Then come back here and let us know what they say. Not all businesses respond as well as you might hope to e-mail alone. I've had no issues with LRS that weren't courteously and promptly resolved once I called them. As far as expecting any company to retroactively honor a $10 off deal - I think that's asking more than you should expect.

It wasn't about the $10.00 that gave the bad taste. If I would of got a response to sorry we can't do that, I would of been good with that!. If you don't ask you never know. But NO response and now reading all the Chit customers go through...I'll spend my money elsewhere.
Have a good day!

I think that all of their products that I have are top notch, but then again I usually order during the off season.

Honesty thats not asking to much almost ANY retail will do that . If you buy something and it goes on sale take the receipt back they generally will refund the difference. But with a smaller Co. its very hard to do that
