D&K Motorcycles grumble mutter

The forks on my GN250 are looking a bit scabby. They had a nice pair up
and I got them for £30.

Only they're sodding American ones (there was a US sticker on one)
designed for a front drum brake, and all UK models had discs, and they
won't fit because there's a bloody great lug sticking out that engages
in the slot in the brake plate.

Needless to say this wasn't mentioned in the auction description and the
big strap holding the two legs together cunningly passes over the lug.

I'm not mean enough to file a SNAD claim yet, but I've sent them a
gentle message asking what they propose to do now.

 

they wont give a ****. this is D&K after all.

Bunch of cunts, they are. Hear untold numbers of horror stories from
people who'd bought one bike from them and would never return.

 

The stanchions are really what I want, and I s'pose I could just hoick
them out, so it's not critical. And they were very cheap. Just pissed
off at what's a pretty obvious fast one.

 

The upside is that you can now 'shave' the forks and get a feature
in Easyrider.....

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older

That'd machine off pretty easily, I imagine.

Yes, it would. Or even hacksaw off. But what's that compared to the
chance of fucking up their PayPal account by filing a SNAD?

 

If a hold of £30 in their paypal account fucks it up then I expect they
have bigger problems to worry about.

 

Yeah, my thoughts too.

 

Send them back and buy these?

Not a bad idea. But actually, as the stanchions are OK on the ones I've
got, I'll see what DK say first.
