Always disappointing to get ripped off, doesn't matter if it's by a dealer or a normal sale. Makes you loose your trust in man kind. Hope you get your bike sorted and can enjoy it the way it should be enjoyed!

These bars were sold to me as perfect on line. Not same scale as a whole bike i know but annoyed me so much i had to fix them. Youll do same with bike. 003.JPG038.JPG

It's a real shame as the 2 dealers I dealt with were totally straight up, as they said there reputation comes first . First gsx had a whine in the gearbox so after paying for it I rejected it. Both had excellent comprehensive pictures sent that showed every imperfection.
2nd gsx was actually better I the flesh than in the pics, this was all done online etc and the bike was sent to me. You've just been really unlucky unfortunately

In Australia we have Team Moto completely stuffing the motorcycle business slowly but surely. Crap service with a bad attitude, rarely see long term employees, burn & churn, pay shit money & rely on desperados.
If they get returning customers they must be morons 💩💩

What will you do with the tank, will you do a totally different paint job or try to replicate what suzuki did.

Washed it today dwaine and checked it over. Found the following chain really past its sell by date,oil filter rusty as #uck as is the downpipes and collector box. Steering  stop on left snapped.
Will sort this out in next couple weeks when I get the parts then should be ok to ride unless something else crops up
