This review is for anyone with a planned timeline that is planning to order from Sportbike Effects. As with any vendor & what I didn't think about doing, It may be to your advantage to be sure that the item that you intend to buy is in stock before ordering.
I am hoping that I am actually the exception to the rule & SBE actually DOES inform their customers when a back order occurs. After all, there website says that they do.
All I can say Mary, err Heidi, is when I was contemplating a PCIII for my 2006, I placed an order via the Webb. The next day (on Sunday, I believe) I received a phone call from Jeff to let me know I didn't need an oxygen eliminator, saving me $15. He also spent 45 minutes on the phone answering all my questions about the PCIII and the problem I was having with the twitchy throttle on the 2006. I was VERY impressed. Then, low and behold, my PCIII showed up on my doorstep on Tuesday. I've never had better, faster service!!!
Oh, now my FJR is smooooth as silk :yahoo:
I will always deal with Jeff FIRST if he has what I want. I think your "experience" was the very, very very exception. Especially since your time-line would, IMO, be a "best case" scenario to boot.
Just my experience, yours
may vary, but I always give people the benefit of the doubt.
