"Doesn't look like Grn to me"....Hell no...I'd never do something like that to anyone's bike.
"My Bike is in and will be ready for pick up between now and Saturday!!!"..."Well They Uncrated Her and Found This!" Sure they did.
THAT didn't happen in transit...It can't go anywhere in the crate.It wouldn't have hit that spot anyway,not with the front wheel protecting that area right there.When they ship these,the box is attached to the bottom of the crate,right?I mean,no one can get in there and mess with it can they?Isn't the outside of the crate plywood or something..it's in a cage right?THIS pisses ME off...for you.
Fu#$ Snuffy!Man...sorry.I know how ya feel.FU@#!!!!!Yeah,there's a tad of damage to the header there.It wasn't the plastic fairing that did that.Something got wedged in there.Something with a sharp edge to it to indent that pipe the way it did.Don't they come from Kawasaki in the crates?Bummer Snuff.I mean...the guys at the shop most likely did it.Somehow.I don't know what they'd be doin stickin somethin in there....why would they need to lift the exhaust?Looks like that's what they maybe tried to do?Lift the bike over an edge or somethin?Is the very tip of the fairing there damaged?Like it smacked into something?Did you see em remove it from the crate?That's not a Kawasaki move there.Some bonehead fucked up at the shop.
When I got my BEAUTIFUL 07....one of those guys there scraped a friggin 4 inch gash on the right belly fairing,just below when it starts angling in towards the fairing mount.You couldn't see it till ya looked way over and down.Vertical scrape,like someone's boot hit it while they were 'tryin' to find the footpeg without lookin.Took another three or four days to get a replacement fairing.Sorry man...I know it bums ya out.They need to replace your exhaust with that as well.FU&^!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know...WTF?????You have "professionals" supposedly workin at the dealers.How difficult IS IT to remove a bike from a pallet without damaging it?Geez.Unfuckinbelievable!Sorry for the expletives...it just GETS me how some of these guys are such imbeciles.Exactly why I tried to do most of the wrenching on my other baby.Got my own guy that used to work for the dealer here...great mechanic...knows how to be careful on someone's bike.Knows sportbikes inside out.
That's the kind of thing that either makes or breaks someones trust.IF I had damaged a guys bike like that...I'd tell em..."ya...I messed up there,but we're gonna get er right for ya...this is what happened..I'm really sorry,but that's the ONLY damage that occurred,the bike didn't fall over or anything"..at least be straight up with it.
Had a NEW...brand new Harley Heritage Classic way back when...2000.Took er to the shop for something...can't remeber what just now.They did the work or whatever.Got my BEAUTIFUL bike back.Happened to glance down at the rear pillion there.HUGE 5 inch scratch...deep...right there at the sissy bar on top of the fender.FUC#I was disappointed to say the least.Afte I calmed down I went in to the shop foreman...told him..."you know...I'm not gonna make a big deal outta this..but yer mechanic over there just returned my new bike with this in it"...He was like WTF?.I never said anything to the mech.But he did...which I really didn't want him to do necessarily.Dude comes over and starts tellin me how he couldn't have done it...Yeah...okay.Whatever.I KNOW he did it,cause I almost did it myself removing the seat once before.There was a certain way you had to lift that seat off of there,or...you'd gouge that fender.He wasn't payin attention when he took the sat off...I recognized it right away,what he had done.After that...I never wanted to take my bike back to that dealer EVER...but I kinda had to...it was the only one around for many miles.Lost total respect for that mechanic,who I thought was a pretty cool guy before that.If he'd have just brought it to my attention,manned up,and said.."you know...I blew it right here...we're gonna get ya a new fender there"....it would have been fine with me.As it ended up..I never trusted that shop again.Most guys will accept "I messed up" way better than.."I didn't do that".We KNOW our bikes.C'mon...stop insulting me fella.
