Have to vent!!

[preddy08]

It just boggles my mind at all the delays I've been having. Its SOOOO frustrating.



All starts off when I cracked my frame. The welder too TWO freeking week longer than expected to make his repairs. After that mess I took everything to get powder coated. That took 4 days longer than quoted. I started putting everything back togeather and had to place a order for some misc nuts and bolts. That shipment comes in TOTALLY F'ed up. I had to make numerous runs to LOWES to get everything sorted out. Not to mention that Pro Armor was on back order for replacement nets. I order another base gasket that flat out does'nt even come in.



Now off to the motor. Took everything down and shipped off to Bo. Everything went as expected. Bo shipped the piston off to have Total Seal cutom fit a gapless ring. That took about a week longer than expected.



Next, went off the exhaust to get ceramic coated. I was told it would take one week. I called at the one week mark. "Sorry not finished up, call at the end of the week". So I call at the end of the week, NOPE not finished! All said and done it took two weeks longer than expected. Next I had to ship off the pipe for the shoot out. Their goes another week.



Now the kicker, I order some replacement cir-clips (at this point that is the only thing holding me up). A week after them not showing up, I call "them" up and ask about it. Sorry, I have no way to track it. So I say screw it and order another set. That was about a week ago and STILL NO CLIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm sure there more that I'm forgetting. Mean while its 60 degrees and all my buddys are out riding.



This shit really gets OLD!



Sorry, had to vent a little........

Sorry to hear about all your drama Shawn 


But just think, if you still had your predator, you could put all this work into it, and it still be a POS

If it was the predator, the frame NEVER would have broke in the first place


This chit better be worth it!
