opp racing !!!!!
Hi fellow Americans,
I,m a keen biker living and working with bikes in the UK.
My employer is a sole UK importer for some very exotic aftermaket accessories so he supplies to all the trade in this country.
Recently I spotted some good stuff on the Opp Racing website which is just not available here in the uk but could be if they only answered my feckin' emails.
They title their company as "OPP RACING WORLDWIDE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does "worldwide" mean no further than the end of their street !!!!!?????
Does anyone else know of any problems with them ???
Signed
Frustrated biker with cash to spend in the states!!!!

Yes, search my posts and go back a couple years when they were interested in being a site sponser.
One other new Zx-10 owner agreed with me on his arrogant owners attitude.
They will tell you they are the top CF provider of all the RR teams and maybe they are but i'm not a RR and they marketed products too the street end user. You can find lots of parts RR/Superbikes teams used you would not want on a street bike or would last very long...
Its the internet so ...one or two people bad dealings are not a measurment. do more research.
Since I would never deal with OPPagain and received damaged goods and he never paid for the repairs even though he promised I even challenged him I would post the e-mails on this site.. seemed to disappear after that on this board.
When I bought my upper and lowers they had no clear coat they had some shit he equates to gel coat but it was raw to me and everyone else who looked at it. If you ever seen cf that has been expose too the sun and I live in Florida we get a lot of it it looks like shit after a bit
Took a ton of gel coat/sanding/more gel coat to grt rid of the orange peel and it was not done by some amatuer shop.
So everypost I see with OPP Racing I give my 2cents-too OPP you dumb fuck you never paid me the $100 for the repairs on the damaged lowers I sent pictures too you withing 10 minutes after the UPS scan showed I signed for them and you tried to claim I broke them installing . Being a distribution manager for many years it was clear what caused the breakage while it was protected with bubble warp and shipped in a good size box with fill your packing employee stretched the tape too tight when he taped it and ripped the top flange. If they gel coated the product it prolly would never had happened. Also raw is not so nice on the hands.
do they have a good selection of parts ? Yes, has my parts held up Yes? but I gel coated and painted most of it.

OPP has a pretty bad rep.... we wouldnt let them sponsor the site based on the negative comments from our readers.

Someone else put "Spondon, take your BS elsewhere"
Does the abbreviation BS mean "business" then ?
I can't understand why a company who advertises as "OPP Racing Worldwide" wouldn't want to sell their stuff, well, Worldwide !!!!!
Don't worry OPP Racing, I will take my business elsewhere.
Do Macmotousa know how good they market their products ??

I don;t get it... WTF are you talking about? What company advertises OPP racing? It isnt this website.... are you telling us that someone from OPP told you to screw off?
Please clarify!
ps.... why are you so hung up on the OPP stuff? Havent you done any research and read the comments from the membership? Everyone's told you they're nothing but trouble and their products are poorly made... so why would you be so intent on buying from them...
maybe your post is
