Diesel-Moto - These guys rock!

[FerrisBueller46]

If you have never looked at these guys for after-market parts...you really should check them out. I love the tail kit I got from them but when the plate bracket metal fractured, Tom from Diesel-Moto got back to right away and without even having to make a point, he coordinated shipping a replacement to me the same day we chatted. VERY customer service oriented and he made my day. Check em out!

I don't see a whole lot of parts to be had here...so I don't know what's so great about them. I'm sure the customer service is great, but they have maybe 4 or 5 parts for the Buell. Would be really nice to find a place that has everything for the Buell line, instead of trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

Well they are not so great! It looks great yes but the freaking license plate bracket that attaches to the tail section keeps snapping apart. Same spot and 3 seperate times. Right at the same bend in the metal. What a total waste of time. Customer service can only take you so far if the product is not up to standard. Sorry for the rant but has anyone had a similar issue? Any thoughts on a different product?
Thanks!

Damn that CAD drawing is funked up

Yeah, just like the frame itself...

I'm assuming they should be putting a bead of weld on the backside to make it stronger. Is it aluminum? And they're bending it in a sheet metal break? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'm sure they'll fix it. They're good about that stuff.

I think that's just one of those parts that should be made of steel.

DEFINITELY!

Aluminum gets so weak after cold bending.

 

[FerrisBueller46]

I think you guys are right. I might just have something fabricated to match the hole sets of the original bracket and have them make it of something a bit more durable. Thanks guys!!!!!!
