Well today I went out to pick up my parts from the powdercoater. He was gone but his wife was around and let me in. Now he told me to be there at 4pm and it was 5 to. Wife said he left at 2... hun...odd. So we find my parts and OH MY GOD i am not only P*&^% but confussed.
My gas cap is all worped and has sandblasting holes in it. All my faring bolts are miss shaped and have a bad coating on them. This guy has allready done a few parts and they turned out awesome.
So I have been to my local dealer (honda) and ordered all the new parts. And have to wait untill monday for the Powder Coater to be back and find out what the H&^% happened.
Just one more setback and of course the weather has been so good and most snow has melted away and the roads are nice and dry. My luck.

Things must go pretty good for you normally for this to be a nightmare (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/wink.gif)

Didn't quite pay attention to what he was doing obviously. (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/pissed.gif)

Funny, those weren't your parts ! Yours were all done in a box in the corner... (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I took my parts to the powdercoaters last November and they lost my rear brake pedal.

Told them to buy me a new one and coat it, after 4 months of pestering them, they finally "found" my brake lever in their shop somewhere.

Honestly, it's the most mixed up, unprofessional joint out there. They haven't a clue where any of the parts are or when they'll be done

Any Edmonton area riders want to know where this shop is, PM me so you can avoid it like the plague.

This all sounds so haphazard and un-professional......how do they stay in business. Looks like their repeat business wouldn't exist......................... (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/dry.gif)
