Bubs 7 vendors. Bait and switch or ligit
Having been told Eastern Performance Cycles was a supporter of this site I called yesterday during their buisness hours and got a recording telling me what their hours were. I left a message saying I wanted to oder the Bubs 7 for my 08 SG. Never heard from them so I just called again today. Guess they don't bother returing calls. Anyway i told them I wanted to order their Bubs 7 exhaust and I was told it would be $767 plus shipping or I colud come to their shop to pick them up and save shipping. All that would be fine and dandy except that on their site the price is $696 with free shipping. I'm told that is a show special. What special? I went back to their site and looked more carefully and I can't find anything about special pricing. It simply says the Bub 7 is $696 and free shipping. I ordered the system from an authorised Drag Specialties dealer on Ebay for $659 shippied. I guess I'm more easily aggravated as I get older. Make of this what you will.

I ordered some Progressive shocks for my Sportster and after my mechanic puts them on he asks me, "Did you know those were used shocks?" Needless to say I was pissed but they were on, I loved them, and I pressed on with life. Should have opened the box and inspected them very closely before handing over to my mechanic. I did call Eastern and got no sympathy, satisfaction, or anything else over the phone. "We do not sell used parts" was all he kept insisting. 99% my fault but still feels good venting about it!

I bought a K&N air cleaner kit from them online. It came damaged from the factory not from shipping. I called Eastern Performance and left a message.A guy called me back a day later kind of upset with me as if I was interupting his day. They did call K&N and put me in touch with K&N's customer service to get the problem resolved.
K&N was great, Eastern Performance was OK. IMHO, when you sell at bottom dollar with free shipping itdoes not leave a lot of room for customer service.

I can't argue with you except that the savings was not $37, it was $108 plus whatever EPC shipping would have been. I was aware of a difference of $37 when I thought EPC site had correct pricing and like a good boy I was willing to spend the extra $37 to support a forum member. Obviously that didn't work out. BTW, what does one have to do to call themselves a "Forum Supporter", if that's the correct term.
