Title: EDIT: Mystery solved (O.K. this is getting serious: I NEED a top triple)
Post by: never2loud on May 26, 2008, 08:26:39 PM


UPDATE:

Parts arrived USPS this afternoon... totally battered and bruised but here none the less. 

Thanks for the support  ;D




Hey can you folks be on the look out for a stock triple clamp that will fit on my '05 620 Dark?  There's a six-pack of your choice in it for you as a finder's fee...

Like I said, this is getting serious  [laugh]

Lisa, not that you probably want to talk about this on the internet... ooops, I guess I am... but did that dude never send you the parts that you told me about? Can I send over "Fat Tony" and have his legs broken for you?? >:( More stupidity, but have you posted even on the old board in the parts wanted section?? Just a thought.

Have you heard back from him? Where does he live?? Maybe there's other DMF or DML members that know him?!?!

I hate crap like this  :(

Hey, you know Cousin Tony? 

Seriously, I just hope that maybe it got hung up and is still on its way--a long shot but I hate to think about the alternative.... :-\

Me too. What board does he post on? I bet if enough people razed him on that board maybe he'd cough up the parts or refund the money. Or maybe they have their own Fat Tony who could pay him a visit. Sounds like total BS to me. >:(

Thanks guys... It is a tempest in a teacup for sure in the grand scheme of things, but no, I've not received the triple clamp I paid for. 

I hate this kinda shit too but I've decided it's just not worth the hassle over 50 bucks.  It's just become really inconvenient because I was wanting to have this handlebar situation resolved about a month ago. 

And who knows, maybe it's an honest mistake?

Anyway, I've found someone else who has a top triple on the Parts for Sale board - Chris from Motored-Sports - so I'm giving him a shot.  Requesting 3 Day Express UPS with a freakin' tracking number...

Jeez, somebody just send me a #$*@*!(#&%-ing TOP TRIPLE CLAMP ALREADY!!!!!!



O.K. Sorry.  End of rant.  I feel better after a nice, healthy "virtual" hissy-fit  [laugh]

Chris (motored-sports) will send the parts.  I have delt with him.  That is where I got the dark seat cowl and front fairing.  He comunicates well, so if you bought it from him you will get your parts!  ;D

Now as for the other guy,  I would PM one of the founding memebers, ducpainter, mitt, etc.. and let them know what is going on.  maybe they can help.

MYSTERY SOLVED:

Any guesses on how many times it was run over by the mail truck  :o  Wipe out.

So now all I've got to do is get everything over to Randy and I'm back in business woo-hoo!!!

Yep, parts were fine. 

The seller had everything wrapped neatly and had foam peanuts cushioning the whole thing.  Glad he did - that box was completely trashed.

I'm never sending anything USPS parcel post... Must have used this package as a bumper stop for a week or two before they delivered it here.

I have not had good luck with parcel shipment via USPS, whether sending or receiving one. The few times I have sent by USPS I have walked out of the post office with a feeling of dread, kicking myself for not driving a little extra to a UPS or Fed-Ex store front. Glad you finally got the triple... guess that means I'll have to call off Fat Tony. He's gonna be disappointed. ;)

Well, end of story... New Rizoma gloss black bar, stock triple clamp, Eastern Cycles 1 1/2" risers (did not require longer cables), and a SpeedyMoto billet aluminum tower bridge.

Ride comfort is much improved so all is well  [thumbsup]
