Hey gang, I just wanted to post here and urge all of you to boycott Drag Specialties and purchase parts from their competitors whenever possible. I ordered an expensive exhaust system for a customer's bike that by all indication in their catalogue should have fit the bike. Well, it definitely does not fit and after numerous calls and conversations with Drag Specialties, they have blamed everyone but themselves for the problem and refused to take the pipes back without charging me a restocking fee. The bottome line is that Drag Specialties doesn't give a fuck about small, independent bike shops and I urge you to spend your money elsewhere. Thanks

ok, I'll play along and shop elsewhere.
tell em you would like to transfer the charge from the company account to a credit card, then send pipes back and do a charge back for the restock fee through the card company. easy stuff

That's a great idea, but I already pay for my parts thru them on my company credit card. Either way, they don't do direct refund. When you return something, they give you a credit on your account. Then when you order more parts they apply that credit on that purchase. Thanks for the idea though.

then charge back the entire amount through the card company, just takes a phone call to make it happen.

2 things I've learned over the years. 1, nothing ever fits likes it's supposed to. And 2, once a company, enterprise, or individual gets your money you've lost all your negoiating power. Oh well, most of those aftermarket companies are just peddelaing import garbage not worth it's weight as scrap metal. I prett much already boycott all of them. I prefer others peoples junk and Genuine HD take offs. Rubs get rid of the nicest shit, and the shovelhead brotherhood is thicker then mud.

Yeah fuck them,Im so sick and tired of these cheap ass parts just cracking in half for no reason,i dont know where the OEM Harley parts are made on my bike, but they do outlast anything from Drag Spec.,or their competition. In fact when I see a bike with some of these parts that Ive had, I can judge about how many miles it has on it,because stupidly when the part broke,I figured it had to be a fluke and bought the same one,well after a few hundred miles it also broke....Can anybody recommend any good parts companys,we should support?
