Three months ago I bought a chrome radiator grill from this seller. The price seemed good, they shipped promptly, when it arrived it was nice and shiny, and I went ahead and gave them positive feedback. BIG MISTAKE.
This "chrome" item has been on my motorcycle for three months. IT IS ALREADY SO RUSTED OUT IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED! Now, I'm in San Diego, California - one of the dryest and most temperature-stable places in the country. It has rained a total of ONE times since the grill was installed. ONCE! Yet, the darn thing looks like an old rust-heap junk part.
The part was not all that expensive; mostly I was angry because of the time to install the thing. But, I thought I'd at least write to Sabercyclegoldwing parts and let them know they have a defective product. BIG MISTAKE.
One email turned into two, then three, ever more nasty. "This part was sold 'as is'!" was the start (remember, it was brand new). Then, they started in on how terrible the weather is in San Diego, how the salt from the ocean travels 20 miles inland and eats up everything in its path, how it is so filled with smog ALL the cars are rust heaps. Didnt seem to make much of an impression when I told them no other piece of chrome on the motorcycle was rusted at all. Did'nt impress them at all when I told them I had a 25-year-old car with as-new chrome on it.
So, all of you who think this part will be a nice addition - especially if it EVER rains where you are - remember, it might look good for only a few months (like mine) and then you will be back on okay finding a replacement and back in the garage removing the rust bucket and installing the replacement
