Re: Custom Exhaust followup
It turns out that nobody planned on giving me the exhaust. They are already for sale, and nobody gave me the ones made for my bike. I got tooled, and it really sucks. I waisted a whole day and let them hack my bike for nothing.
I'm a sucker!!!!!! And I'm pissed.

what is the name of the company that jerked you, so that we know and dont patronize them. sorry to hear you got jerked. i like the idea of the all black exhaust, i am probably going to do something similar (ceramic coated black with polished hardware). ever consider riding down and seeing whats up? if you think it might get hostile, drive your car down with a friend or two.

They said there name was Bruce Fabrication, but I looked up the name and it did't exist. I investigated a little more and I came up with Advanced Fabrication, Anaheim Ca.
I am going there in the morning to see them face to face and I will let you know the results. It is far from my house, so I have'nt had the time, but tomorrow I will be there at 8:00 am to see what is to be done.

drive your car and bring a friend or two, or maybe some bikeland members and see whats up. good luck man, dont be intimidated- roll thru hard and be aggressive. dont let some minor-league company shit on you.

I was Navy Spec ops, and in my youth, I would have serious payback. I have a child so I'm more reserved now. I can say there is a legal argument for a verbal/agreed contract that must be fulfilled. All fabrications come from my bike, and I didn't waste my whole day for nothing. Any judge would agree!!!!! I will follow up with a suit plus time and fees (court, gas, time)

Not saying I told you so.... but I did tell you that the whole thing seemed a bit too hard to follow!!! Please see my statement below. I am sorry that it didn't work out... but the whole thing stunk bad from the very beginning!! Watch out for these guys.. they are out there, everywhere!!! Now be smart and get the Brock or the Muzzy or at least a big name!!! Enjoy... and if someone says something is for free... it probably is NOT!!!! Take Care....

Hey tosado... what made this guy decide to build these top secret pipes... and why are you the Chosen One??!! DId he chop off your old double pipe at the stock canisters or is he bending pipe up from the collector??! Is the whole thing being powder coated... or is he going to have some chrome tips or something? Does he do a lot of bike exhaust work? This whole thing scares me... I picture you riding a mile or so down the road and both canisters melting down your wheel. I then see the guy that made them walking away scratching his head saying, "well, that didn't work right". Whatever... when you do get these pictures back from Area 51... post them up here...
