Thread: '75 honda bobber project

Sucks that it comes to that, but at least he is trying to make sure it's done properly. Too many times I run into people that would rather get paid top dollar for a half-ass job than do quality work and get solid rep as a master of their trade.

no, i know. i'd rather have it done right then get it back incorrectly, even if it's taking a long time.

i knew about the flooding and all his **** getting ruined. i knew that he had someone else working on it. i'm glad he's fixing it.

i just want my **** back..

im still undecided on what exhaust i wanna buy. im leaning towards a simple sidewinder or the zoomie pipes to be different. i feel like every chopper ever has a set of drag pipes...

opinions? Custom Exhaust

I kinda like the sidewinder, in how it comes together as one

but I think if you had the single collector cut down to 2 dual collectors, and followed up with a custom exhaust pipe design it would be really sweet.

I know you're isn't a V-twin so ignore the header part, but how they run together and swoop is something I've always liked. It just follows the curve without being too crazy.

just my opinion.

i cant bend/weld on my own so i'm gonna have to buy something. what they have at this place is abot the biggest selection i can find for exhausts...

zoomies or you're a *****

zoomies it is. haha.

gino told me on facebook to get the gasser pipes, but i think those are a bit much.

i vote zoomies

I was already planning on making it worth your wild with a extra feature free at charge,that I know your gonna love. so its gonna be worth the wait. just one more week as of today and I promise youll be frolicking through a field full of flowers. again you should have knocked on my door like I told you last time. either way im planning on replaceing my phone sometime this week again. again I promise you ll be happy and it will be worth the wait. you can keep this email as proff/contract that all work will be for free if not completed in a weeks time and with a bonus of a title to one of my Harley as a bonus if I don't finish in given time. also along with the extra feature ive been doing for you ive also been working on shortening a front fork for you,so your bike doesn't look funny.that was suppose to be a surprise as well,but given the senserio I thought you should know. so ive been going up and beyond then what was discussed to make you happy,which I promise you will be. so between my wife,basement again,other jobs I have and yours..im spreading it out as even as I possibly can. and a weeks times you will be happy bud.

I've been calling and texting your phone like nuts and I even got a bunch of random other people to help me out and call you to see if you were avoiding me.

I figured the frame was a lost cause at this point considering you've been lost to the world for almost a month since the last time I've talked to you. I don't know whether just to ask for everything back at this point or to trust that you'll actually follow through considering our track record.

Find a phone to use and call me. I'm sorry for your issues that you've been dealing with, but I don't know who wouldn't be upset with a 2 week project going on 2+ months.

Nick

so just sit here with my thumb up my ass some more and hope that you actually turn out to not be a ****ing bag of dicks? okay, no.

here i was hoping it was back in action

this guy is useless.

^agreed

Is it bad that I was actually expecting another reason to why it wasn't done yet?

I know we all understand the fact that sometimes life drops a bomb on your plans, but after all this I'd be hard pressed to not call it quits. Who offers it free and a bonus Harley if not complete in a weeks time? Really? I could see free work, bonus stuff done for no charge just to settle out the problems you had, but what he said was a little excessive. Also, kinda would have peev'd me about the fact its in pieces and you couldn't do it yourself without the right tools, that shows that its not even close to complete because ITS IN PIECES!

Oh I'd be mad. This is polished **** from the finest bull.

Hope it works out for you and he didn't sell your frame

um he is asking for a lawsuit and im really supprized that you dont have him working with a gun to his head after this long of a time. I really feel sorry for you and wish he would just finish it or give it back to you so you can get it done and be riding idk this summer.

Wow, that sentence...wow.

I wouldn't trust the guy, tell him by the end of this WEEK, you either get your stuff back or you will have the cops on the look out for your technically STOLEN stuff at this point.

part of me wants to roll up with a truck tonight and take everything back. it's been long enough.

the other part of me wants to attempt giving him the time he requested and see what comes out of it. if i have to buy another frame i'm out like 300% on any of the money i've saved by going with him.

in that mess of a sentence he sent you i cant seem to find a legit time frame given, course its so bad i stopped reading..

i think i saw it said till the end of the week or something along those lines

Well this is the big point of it.

...I'm so close on getting your **** done. Just give me a week from now and I'll have it all buttoned up for you, if I don't I'll give it to you for free, plus one of my titles to my Harley's. ...it's gonna be worth the wait. Just one more week as of today and I promise you'll be frolicking through a field full of flowers... again, I promise you'll be happy and it will be worth the wait. You can keep this email as proof/contract that all work will be for free, if not completed in a weeks time and with a bonus of a title to one of my Harley's as a bonus, if I don't finish in given time. Also, along with the extra feature I've been doing for you I've also been working on shortening a front fork for you, so your bike doesn't look funny.

Edited somewhat*** ^

So 1 week as of the day it was sent/recieved. After that, lawsuit will be easy as this is a "contractual agreement" and you get bonus harley.
