3 yrs ago or so, my VTR went down..insurance job...took 3 months...and i still wasnt happy..but put up with it...

yea there all slack, they dont see it as urgent job (insurance)..they have trouble getting $$ out of insurance co often to pay for nething...but the thing i hate...it supposedly takes 2-3 weeks for parts from japan..they always seem to forget to order sumthing...
they have the micro-fische...USE THE FARKING THING

If the bike was still ridable but scuffed up i wouldnt take it to the panel beaters till they say they have the parts then give them 10 days to fix it and that is pretty reasonable.

I hade a car 20 years ago that was in the panelbeatrs for 4 months being fixed but since i have been in the taxi industry i have discovered that a car can be bent in 2 like a banana and the chasis shortened about 6 inches from the sise if the bend in the middle and be back out on the road 4 days later good as new almost.

i can get all the fairings off my bike inside a hour and probably the same to get them back on again so i would think 10 days is fair......how long does it take a panel beater to repaint the fairings they pulled off my bike and resell them????

Nah, they are just fuken me around waiting for 2 pieces of foam that go on the back of the fairing, 2 air scoops that come off the back of the fairing that the painter lost

& the 10 screws that hold them on & 1 decal that I sourced from great britain because they said there was none in existence

lazy farkers, I had access to 1 within 20 minutes of searching & 2 ph calls

Internet is a powerful tool
