keithbar 1 #6 January 18, 2010 if they had any kind of customer service they ought to send you two left side one's on their own dime and then you would have a spare set. but we all know they don't have that much common sense.i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( relined at a local shop) I'm changing the calipers because..see attachments F08 is current caliper Changing to 4 pot gold There will be pics when i do the rebuild, I was starting soon but things have held me back. Like the guys who built my fairing have not supplied the twin headlights yet. The seat upolsterer is a sleep at the wheel and now I have 2 right side gold BrembosAlso Mrs Squeak has to buy a new bike so we have separate transport, at present we only have one bike and one car. If I strip the bike down one of us is stranded. She's looking now for a new one.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

skyrider 0 #18 January 18, 2010 The way the the retailers here rape Aussi's makes no sense to me, it isn't that hard to ship to there, yet they charge over double actual cost! BUT, that is a big name company, have you contacted them yet, it was their mistake, so they should fix it on their dime! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
