I disagree. They intentionally blew me off for months on end. Intentionally ignored my calls and emails and intentionally kept taking on and finishing new projects vefore finishing mine. And for the record, I was a paying customer so there BS about "paying customers" come first doesn't fly for me. Granted, I only paid a fraction but I paid all the same.
FINALLY got my bike back

I understand about needing to pay the bills, but if you are going to self-promote yourself then that's what you should do! Using this as a way to bring in more customers means that you are going to do the best job you can from customer service to quality of work. Haven't seen any other pics, but customer service was certainly out the window!
Oh wait, I guess they did do some self-promotion to the negative.

so??? Im sick of hearing these stories on the boards where guys r getn ROYALLY screwd over by shops, then the shop nevr even says sorry or tries in ANY way to make up for LYING and promising things they couldnt make good on...peeps out there look at me like Im about to do sum'tin, but IMO only guilty-folk worry about getn popped, so karma will find those that need to be exposed n reciprocate the garbage they dish out.
oh yea, Sam-if you wana thank me bro, you can hook me up for tha ultra-expensive TRAILER HITCH PIN i had to go buy
you retard, lol
I honestly believe that if Scott hadn't been up there knocking on there door, my bike still wouldn't be finished.
at least you have your bike back in one piece and it looks great.
Custom job could be delayed, everyone running their own business knows that. Their problem is bad communication.

Went and picked up my bike this morning from BigDiesel's house(another 18 hour drive). First impression is that is looks outstanding. But then I started to take a closer look. First thing I noticed was a bunch of orange peel. Then I noticed a couple of areas on the bike had excessive clear coat runs.
Also noticed that XXX fukked up my Kanji on the clutch side, yup it's backwards.
These are all things that I can live with. Tried to start her up but no go, battery was dead. Kinda expected that since the did have it for 6 months. So me and Scott pushed her on the trailer and off we go back to Ohio.
When I get home, I start looking even closer as I am getting ready to tear it down. Why tearing down a freshly chromed bike? Well pushercg's mirror mod isn't working and the dumbazz didn't know how to install the undertail. The new undertail takes a different tail light assembly than what I had before so I've got to wire up the new one. Took the hump off and find out that the only thing holding the tail section on is the franken bolts. Where is the rest of my fukkin hardware??
Took around to the front of the bike and something on the mirror caught my eye. Shid's peeling and I havent even ridden it yet.

Peeling off of both mirrors. And guess what else is peeling?? Yep, the inner panels. Both sides.

Then I go and unwrap the undertail that XXX didn't install and find this..........

Pools of clear coat. What happens when clear coat pools like that? It peels off and takes everything w/ it.
So now my inner panels are ruined, pushercg modded mirrors ruined. One other thing, I had all of my fairing bolts painted black to match the frame. Now, every one of them have been jacked up and the paint has been partially scraped off. They were perfect when I took the bike up and had been for a little over a year. Oh and I have no push pins for the undertail, they were there when he took the old tail off so why dont I have them now??
It's a good thing I dont live in WI, I'd be in jail by now.

Yup, got her back but the only thing worth having is the frame, motor and wheels.
crapola...... bad enough to wait but having to get all this redone correctly is going to be $$$ by the time you figure "undoing" all the damage...
I would first see if there is any way to get a round of parts to replace what they did (from them)
This could have been a great chance for a small business to ring their own bell.... quick turn around and good quality would come back to them.. Third rate service and lousy workmanship is doing no one any good...

I've thought of the lawyer thing but I only paid for the rearsets to be chromed so I'm only out $330. I dont see how I have a case
At this point I'm pretty well fukked. Gonna have to find fairings and try to sell the ones they did worked on.
