Down for the year, maybe longer

XXX you've got the chance to make this right but it is going to take some dollars to do it. If I were in your position I'd be looking where I could come up with the money to make him a very generous offer on buying the bike from him. Taking out a loan, selling my toys, whatever it takes to make Sam say you made it right.
Or having a full set of mint plastics to his door within a week in trade for the ones you screwed up. Sam should not have to miss out on the riding season. Including shipping for both sets, your out $2,000 max. Maybe with your equipment you can salvage the plastics you messed up and recoup most of it.
 
I feel that first off EBC and XXX should be given a chance to make it right before all of the good folks here at the Org. offer up their $$ and parts.  I know EBC is not directly to blame for any of this as they were trying to do good for a member.

I feel it would be in best interest of  XXX customer service /  EBC membership and sponsorship  for these 2 establishments to work it out with SAMBUSA.  If it was me...I would be asking for a set of plastics to replace the set ruined by this offer...not necessary new, but in as goood as condition.

...flame if you must.

When we found out Sam hadn't gotten his Busa back, and XXX wasn't returning his phone calls/emails, I emailed and called XXX that same night. The next morning XXX responded to both Sam and I giving Sam a completion date of March 1st... although the email response didn't leave Sam and I feeling as though the date was set in stone. I emailed, PM'd and called XXX for the next 5 days asking them to nail down that completion date... they never responded. Then they contacted Sam and changed the date, and then changed the date again, and then there was a blizzard, and then the owner was injured... the list goes on and on.

All this time XXX remained a sponsor at EBC. The ONLY reason - and I explained this to Sam while it was happening - was they still had his Busa, and as minimal as the communications between XXX and EBC was, we felt that we would have no leverage if we removed their sponsorship. But the moment Scott sent me a text message and told me he was driving down the street with Sam's Busa, we removed them as a sponsor.

XXX called me this morning when they got wind of this thread. Camesha of XXX asked me to be available for a phone meeting 7:30pm tonight. At 7:15 she called and rescheduled the meeting for 9pm. A few mins before 9 she sent me a text message saying she would be calling me later... and she never did.

I've discussed this with Sam a few times today on the phone, and I'm hoping I can come to an arrangement with XXX for them to reimburse Sam for the damages done to his Busa.
When I had my problem with XXX BigGeorge was there to help....He is a stand up guy...if he is getting involved then things will get handled. If not...I know of atleast one .org member that is a lawyer...

All I have to say is BigD if you go over there and have to break a foot off in ol boy's arse break one off for Sam and the ORG and EBC to while you are at it brotha man I can not believe those douche bags messes Sam's Plastic's up like that.  I am glad EBC dropped those clowns as sponsers and I hope no other site ever has to deal with these clowns again and get screwed like Sam.
 
Well, as I type this I see in the top line "XXX CHROME PLATING" is reading this thread, I hope they are typing in a lengthy apology to Sam and either:

A. Sending him every external component in his choice of paint scheme, and enough money to pay someone to install it.

B. Buying him a new Busa and taking his to use to fix up as a product demo/personal ride, and writing the purchase price off as a business expense.


XXX has done REALLY poor business here, they need to go completely over the top to make this right and salvage anything resembling a reputation. They did insult first by keeping the bike as long as they did, blowing off doing the work they promised, THEN they did injury with the complete negligence towards any quality control at all in the work done.


They should consider themselves lucky if they get out of this with anything less than a major Better Business Bureau case, and a long, drawn-out lawsuit. $12,000 for a new Busa would be a cheap solution to what they have done to Sam and as a result to themselves. Before this is over, they could well be out of business.

They should either man up here right now or quit the business before it dissolves out from under them. I'm picturing Scott and all his RR brothers out front with a local TV crew shooting Sam's bike sitting out front... Would look great on the nightly news to every two-wheeled brother sipping a brew and deciding what mod to do next...
 
If XXX was in this thread, then you guys better start speaking up.... You oughta have your balls strung up for doing this sh!tty work to Sams bike!
You guys better come up with a plan soon.

Its hard to believe that they had the balls to view this thread and not even offer up atleast an appoligy. I hope that Big D pays them a visit and changes their attitude about doing business.
 
The pics are truly bad...just hope XXX Chrome Plating steps up and makes this right...so sorry that happened to you Sam.
 
It's still early in this whole catastrophy. At least XXX is looking into this to some extent, so they appear to care somewhat. These crazy things happen in every line of work. What seperates the scum from the class A businesses is right now, how they handle their MISTAKES which everyone makes.

Now let's see what THEY do!
 
It's amazing how fast word travels through the internet. remember that guy on the mustang forum. they ended up with like 800,000 views in that thread. and that was about a cell phone.

they ended up locking that thread cause people were getting violent.
 
I was just reading this thread again, and noticed xxx in here again. What kind of fugged up business do you guys run ? You are not even trying to salvage your reputation by at least saying something in this thread that would even remotely going to do the right thing. I have news for you xxx, I am new to this forum and to busa's, but just at my job alone there are 14 sport bikes here. We all get paid good and enjoy modding our bikes. I can promise you that you will not recieve one dime of our mod money!!! It is going to be real soon that thousands upon thousands of people are going to know what you did to sam.

sam and jenny are my friends, i am here for you anyway i can help..
the chrome used on the plastics is not convential style chrome. to get it off, takes heat.
a long proccess of either a heat gun and peeling or very possible putting the parts under a hot pressure washer which would be faster and easier. the heat gun would also have to be a cautious job because of warping the plastics. if the family here decides to "load up the kitty" ,im in.
 
WOW!! the silence of XXX speaks volumes........................................



Sorry Sam about your bike. At least a personal call to you from them would go a long way with me. I just can't believe those pics!!!!!! I would ride that shid and have some giant stickers made w/ XXX in big bold print.

Reminds me of Billy Crystill "It is better to look good than to feel good"
I am so sorry for your problems. I really hate to see inferior work. It's just not right.
Thanks for letting us know I will tell everybody I know what a crappy job they did for you and not to waste any time or money on them
Hang in there
