I did not make JRI shocks, I represented them only. I directed you to their address and contact information. You called me for help after JRI did not provide you with the parts you needed after 4 months of promising you that would do so (in your own words on a saved e-Mail you sent me).

You mean the same shocks that I sold you (way different than the ones them make now and as late as 07-08-2015, 11:36 PM post 13 on how happy you are with them, the same ones I "Pumped" you up into purchasing? LINK
There are many others throughout the last few year or two.

<<< What is the matter with you? Do you think everyone's time in the motorcycle field is worthless? Do you think that the machinist goes to work so you can replace parts that YOU destroyed?

Did the part work when you received it new?

Do you thank I should replace parts myself and pay for the shipping for free? Because I did not tell you that I required you to pay for your own shipping and the machining or new parts that damage was caused by you?

Does this look familiar, it is and was on your instructions top of the line on page #2?


So calling a spade a spade:
Anyone who is a certified service center or even a half assed mechanic knows to put a protectorate against dis-similar metals like aluminum and steel. No one needs to tell a qualified person that. Someone wanted to play mechanic and do a mechanical installation that was clearly unqualified to do. Someone has to tell you to use a protectorate or for that matter which wrench to use to fit what bolt? Another whining Harley owner (YOU) who does not wish to take responsibility for their own actions and blame others and make them pay for your self admitted mistakes. You were given the instructions but you evidently could not comprehend them.

>>> This is not the first time we make parts. Of course Miguel fitted the parts before your shocks left the shop with me. I am not going to get into another discussion on proper installation with grease and O-Rings. How dare you even suggest that these were not made correctly. You did not grease the O-Rings and press them in. Since these bobbins I made are not around any more so you say and you never contacted me about this matter or even how or why these is a problem, there is nothing more you or I can say on that matter. Had you said something I would have responded to you like always.

The last JRI shock I ever sold and discontinued any sort of representation with JRI was (I believe) 6.6.14. You stated you sent your shocks in and were sitting there for 4 months so let us count backwards which should be fairly close,
1- You were sent your shocks & bobbins on 3.4.15 so minus 4 month that would be 12.4.14. I discontinued representation in 6.6.14. I, when counting, make that one half of a year. Just another lie from you and twisted fact to suit your whining and pointing responsibility any other place than your own. History does not lie but you do.

>>> I am 35 miles from the machine shop. I ordered your shocks in 12-20-2013. Your shock bobbins were shipped with your shocks on 3.4.15. You were charged $39.00 for a 1/2 hour of machine shop time and $19.30 for 2 day shipping from Davie FL to Littleton CO. Your shocks arrived and because you were going on a trip I imediately brought them up to the shop and waited for them to be done which was far longer than the 1/2 hour of machine shop time you were charged for. I than drove back back down to Davie FL & contacted you. I have news for you, my gas and my time is not free or as you put it worthless.

Now I am calling you full of crap & a lair.

 

It's like a baby seal beating itself with a club.

 

I don't agree , I think Howard is correct on this issue. If you buy a pair of Ohlins from Howard , Fuelmoto or Traxxion , who holds the warranty ? Ohlins does in all cases . So if you break them and Ohlins will not warranty them should any of the vendors fix them out of their pocket? No. He broke the shocks by his own doings , JRi did not respond . JRi is who he should be mad at. JRi should have either 1- fixed the shocks under warranty or 2- told him they weren't covered under warranty and quoted him a price to repair them . They did neither. They never even responded to him . They are the ones who screwed him over . Howard stood up and tried to help , charging you his cost and not including his time or gas was fair . If you found a machine to fix them why not do that after JRi ignored you before sending them to Howard . I agree you were screwed but JRi not Howard did the screwing.

 

I already posted all of your dates and e-Mails. You come on here about calling Ohins and than say that Ohlins is: What the real truth is not in what you told Ohlins and yes, Ohlins called me and there is and never been a problem. Just another disgruntled customer who wants to be pandered to with no regard to anyone else life other than their own. How dare you come on a public forum and tell another member I am happy you found a person to drop ship a pair of shocks to you. I would never want to have you as a customer and they will regret the after the sale service they will have to endure by you.

Let us go over the reason why you posted this: 15 hours to send you an invoice. Than you wanted an apology for taking you so long to service you? Can I tell you what sex act I would have suggested to you and your new shocks had you ever told me right from the first second you called how and what you wanted and for me to drop everything because you called?

You are a total waste of my time.

 

No, the whole mess. Not just what Howard wrote. I didn't quote Howard.

But... about what you wrote above. Howard modifies the stock Ohlins to work better and we all know he backs up his work (and Ohlins) so I think it's safe to say Howard pretty much holds the warranty on what he's selling. Of course, if he isn't selling something anymore, then yeah, in that case probably not.

 

Then stop responding. Someone has to stop this crap. At first it was amusing but at this point I think it's gotten out of hand.

 

LOL, that's pretty good. I'm writting it down.

Beary

 

Somebody please........say something bad about cops or swear or maybe ask what a real biker is - ANYTHING to make this thread die.

PS - thank you Harold for the nice compliment on my bike. You're right, there aren't too many of them around.

And I'm with Graham, lets just set this all aside and ride! (except it's not so sunny here - oh well)

 

Black bikes ride better and don't need fancy shocks.

 

Depends on the vendor. If they are simply drop shipping a product, it should fall to the manufacturer. If the vendor is claiming to "disassemble, modify and build" the products before sending them out; then the vendor has probably assumed at least some of the warranty. At the very least, the door has been opened for the vendor and manufacturer to point at each other.
