Awesome to have the feedback and much appreciated. Yes, the small details are always hard to get correct, its the main reason I implemented the confirmation pictures in the sales process to avoid this sort of thing. It's always annoying when the factory workers don't pay enough attention to the small details and I am on them about this sort of thing when it happens. The problem really is that once the clearcoat the good and it's not correct they then must rub the kit right back and begin again and it's a time-consuming process so it really delays the timeframe 'Bigly' It's happening at the moment with the order in question that began this thread. Thankfully most the time this does not happen and the process is smooth enough. Feel free to sell the original front if you and spend the money on flowers for your lady or some such thing. I meant to tell you that a while back. I am sure most of us have unfinished projects my own NC29 is sitting in a garage pulled apart waiting for some love and care and I still have not managed to get much done. Thankfully with my model, there was a tank cover available and I am going to use that while I decide if the bikes good enough to warrant painting the tank. I have no problem with your above comments as at the end of the life's not perfect and its how we deal with future issues that's important and at least this way others can make an informed decision around the purchase of a set of fairings.
Cheers for the feedback. It's not easy to win with all sales and I have some that on occasion don't go as well as I would like and like everybody else, I have good days and bad days in business and the good days generally make it worth getting through the bad days. I know after doing this type of business for over 7 years that I will never be able to fully solve every production issue even though I would like to and am looking at other products and ways to add better value at present. I have an idea to setup a parts sales website so all us bikers and buy sell and trade bikes and parts and earn a few dollars and have fun doing it. I will also soon be wreaking bikes and selling parts myself via my sites as I want to be able to offer far more than just fairing kits for sale. Most importantly I want to enjoy what I do and can't wait to get back to doing track days and riding with others as it has been a while since I got to do that.
Pat on the back for stepping up on this thread @pixelplay I think @kiffsta and many other forum members will be keen to see/hear about your motorcycle parts website idea.
