licks cycles sucks
#43
I'm sorry but there are many differences between buying parts and accessories from Licks or from JP or Dennis Kirk;
1) Licks 250,000 square foot facility is no where near as modern as DK's, He still runs steam generation and mule teams.
2) AJ also has 150 people working around the clock, but they are all 10 years old and tire out once it's past their bed time.
3) Licks whole fleet of container ships got lost somewhere between Honshu and LA, the Coast Guard is still looking, godspeed.
I also believe Licks is a horrible business model, so whenever I need some generic part I can get anywhere I go to DK.On the rare occasion they are back ordered they tell me that on the phone when I order.
When I want something unique or made for a niche I will always support a company like Licks. To me he proved his mettle when he first came out with their Sportie bags.
He offered an online discount and was immediately overwhelmed!
It took a while but he eventually got them out. He didn't charge until they were shipped!
BFD! If I wanted a different bag I could have gotten one somewhere else.
If AJ wanted to be DK you would have a different experience. You likely will get less personal "no, not yet man"s but you will also have less unique quality made parts.
That's your choice right there Bozo!

Everybody on here tried to empathize with you and even offered learned lessons about ordering stuff. You did not see the writing on the wall…..What a Shame!
All you have done is whine like a little Bitch, grow up and grow a pair. Just because Mommy and Daddy have not handled these troubles for you, the first thing you do is blast someone you tried to do business with un-successfully with (according to you).
Well you have shown your grown-up side for sure.
You, no less come on the World Wide Web, too throw your tantrum, you now have been weighed-measured- and found wanting (lacking), as others have stated.

Then you respond to one of the Posts with this drivel;
wtf man do i have to ask stores if they have in stock before i order it? why even have it on there website?
These guys have said a mouthful in response to your attitude (which by the way was pretty nice considering).
“ another spoiled brat having a tantum, that's all this thread is.”
“^^^dude you really should try another forum. you contribute nothing here.”
“You might want to look into some meds man.”
Again I say:"What a Shame........................"
Good Luck in life

so i was looking at getting a fork brace today, screaming eagle ones are over $200. i think it was 250 actually.
what other ones are there that are functional, and what makes one better than the other? all it does is stop the forks from bowing out under compression right?
serious question... i have no problem dishing out the 250 as long as its justified against some other after market ones.

i was actually looking at that site a few days ago.
i do fail to see a difference between the function of that and say the one the poster in this thread bought, but the price is similar, so i wont argue.
ive seen some that look like the bolt on where the fender bolts on, those look like they do nothing. but i do like the look of them.

Great, thanks guys, appreciate the link, and it has a good explanation of what it does.

You must beat your wife.. For your information I moved out of my house when I was 18, got a job and a dam good one I might add. Go to work and get **** done. I don't deal with companies that lie to there customers. I don't have tolerance for bullshit. I pay for my goods and I want them. I'm sorry for all you people that like lick's but dont take it personally and get insulted. Don't bash me cause I paid for something and got lied to and ripped off. F that. I wouldn't of posted a bad experience about a vendor to get bashed on by a bunch of older men that find this entertaining. I l.ove this forum and I got awesome ideas from it and talked to some great people. We love each others bikes and when something goes wrong weather its a front brace or even a dam valve cap I want people to know so it doesn't happen to them
