I needed to vent a little. First off it took nearly a month to get the part i'm about to vent on (regardless of bike week)
"Who totally shuts down operations these days" Poor business practices if you ask me. Some of you that ordered a part(s) late FEB early Mar can sympathize. Anyways...
I dropped the 90 off today with the hopes that my bike would be lowered 2 inches via (Raw Design) lowering bones. My hopes were shattered when my mechanic called to say that they did not fit. Is it possible that my set of bones were cut incorrectly?????? Its up for debate, but I will tell all of you this. Currently at point, I am 100$ into labor fees, (which I wont pay for in the end) for the mechanic tearing my bike apart and not being able to put the part on. After numerous calls back and fourth between my mechanic and Raw Design, I am no closer to a "feel good" about the situation. At this point, the mechanic wants me to send the part back to have them, redrill/resend if its defective the part. Rather then "alter" the part himself(my mechanic), should something goe wrong and I crash and burn, then they (Raw Design) can pay my wife's pain and suffering
Either way 100$ and no installed part.
I will keep you all informed on the developments of this story. It seems that the Raw team toots their horn on this site, but i'm not convinced that they are what they seem to be. On a side note and more personal...Regardless of how simple you (raw design) makes it out to be on making the part fit (file, punch, drill what ever). If you fab a part, then it should fit....bottom line. Especially on a production bike. If your parts are imprecise then say so. Otherwise I hope this is a defective part and you replace the part and cover my expenses. I really hope it all works out in the end.
