Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

After all the crap that us motocyclists put up with, with dealers and suppliers I finally found someone who really deserves a rap.!
With all this time I have on my hands waiting for my bike to be repaired, I've been scouring the net looking for deals on bits and pieces to make it a little nicer..
Got stuffed around with 1 company taking forever to get in stock parts they told me thay had and then getting hit with customs and gst charges cause they didn't send it as agreed. That really pissed me of..!

I then went looking for a Puig double bubble screen and found these guys on ebay.

Now it doesn't say they post to Aus but I thought I'd ask, and no probs, they can sort it out.
Got an email from the guy that looks after the screens, a very nice guy named Pete, he gave me a great price and sent me an invoice via paypal almost instantly.
I payed for it on Friday and it arrived today...
He also sent me a great looking T-shirt...

Restores my faith in the industry, pitty there in the US... Although I can guarantee you wouldn't get a Puig screen in Aus cheaper than this..

They do a range of other stuff too, there frame sliders look good, but I already had a pair...
http://www.DMP-Parts.com or http://www.moto911.com

If anyone is interested in any of this stuff, I can PM you Petes email as he told me he will look after us....

cool, I have been on the hunt for a decent double-bubble for the 12, but I am looking for a blue iridium style, similiar to the iridium visors you can buy. Can you send his e-mail addy ?

cheers

Looks like cool gear dave... so was the 10 unrideable I refuse to let a repairer/panelbeater take possesion of my vehicle untill they have the parts to repair it at which stage they may have it for 1 WEEK I have been burnt before and judging by the way the local dealer who fixed yappas bike and a panal beater where scrapping for the job on my six you should be able to come to a arrangement.

Theres nothing quite like having your vehicle impounded by a panel beater for 12 weeks to teach you not to let them have it, and i have learnt from the cab industry which may be a little rough that even if a car has been hit in the boot hard enough to bend the car in the middle like a banana it still only takes 4 days to fix it.

5 days delivery from the States and a free T-Shirt!! It looks like you're luck might be changing Dave?......
I've had a few bits from Moto911 before and had no problems, took longer than 5 days though......
I just got an Akra from this mob in the UK, they were good to deal with too,did'nt get a T-shirt though but i got a free DB screen.

Yeh, the 10 had to be trailered home as it cracked the rotor cover...

Theres been so many problems getting it fixed, including the death of the assessor, that its now become a joke.. (the repair, not the death... )
I picked it up last week and then found a couple of things wrong so it went straight back.... now I'm waiting for parts ... again.!!

Man when will people learn not to die on company time?
Just kidding, no bloody wonder it's taken so long!! hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel of this sordid affair.

I thought you were meant to stay AWAY from the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry, it's all I've got

I have to give a rap to Draggin Jeans, they told me six weeks from order that they would deliver my new custom made black cargo pants. It only took them four days, and with them they included a set of knee pads to stick under the pants at no extra cost. I spoke to two guys, Ben and Grant and they were very friendly and professional. I know Draggin has no competitors, so this is almost pointless but the service these guys offered was exceptional.

Draggins have been good indeed.

But i must point out http://www.underdog-leathers.com/ who do cordura & jeans stylestraight cut pants.

Thanks Mike. I need a new pair of riding jeans soon as I have lost some considerable weight. Draggins that I have are excellent, but an alternative is great for choice.
