Retro,
There is clearly no point in any of us customers to try pleading our cases as you have an answer for all, Chris, is that you?
When I inquired to Chris about my issues via phone (after many phone calls he finally answered) he immediately sounded disgruntled and annoyed, making me feel like an idiot that I didn't know what I was talking about. Stated that these have been test fitted various times with no issues, quickly got me off the phone as usual. When I messaged him in regards to other products he stated that, he has customers that spend $50k a year there, they come first in his prioritizing. Is that what you tell a customer when you're in the pocket? If you can't handle the work-load then hire reputable employees to keep the service flowing. Via phone he promised me CR26's at $580 since I bought not only an exhaust from him but also a swingarm that didn't work! He said wait til the end of the month when he orders some and he will order my set. Almost 3-months later still no communication so I said screw it and went elsewhere.
Now you can defend him all you want but please note I will never do business with him again nor have any person I know ever go to him either, some I don't even have to say anything as they already have a bad taste in their mouth from his previous years of shenanigans.
I paid for a bolt-on item to save time, money and a hassle to be honest and that is NOT what I received.
I don't get the attitude mate, Chris made the pipes after being asked too, he isn't a pipe manufacturer and his next batch will probably be his last, thats what he told me 2 days ago, he has customers that spend way more than 50 grand now and they are his primary business, why can't you people understand that that..?. I don't care who you do business with, Chris has sold over 1000 items through ebay with not one bad feedback, so you do what you want, I don't care, you had a bad experience, I have been treated well, given great discounts and have bought parts and will continue to do so, so have plenty of others, I get your point. I asked you the type of questions the way I would have handled it..? What is it that you don't like about what I said to you...? I'm over you people , I've had great service, like hundreds of others...FFS, read my comments again mate, I'm telling you sh1t you clearly didn't know...!! Maybe you should have sent that arm back, thats what I would have done, along with the measurements Mark gave you, he did do the measuring I gather...? This isn't your thread, I was just interested in your dilemma as you popped in and commented, I wouldn't have been happy either... I've seen these arms fitted to Kawasaki's Triumphs, Honda's and Suzuki's, you are the first one I have heard of that was poorly made, I'll stand by my comments that these are a race part because I was around in the late 70's early 80's doing up 750 Honda's when these were the parts to have.... No need to be a smart ass...!!
