Did you have to send your part in yet? I forget through that whole chain of emails.
 
Yep sent it in right at the beginning, I think it was the first one to break. Was hoping for the heat shield as well but couldn't wait, I've only just managed to get the bike booked in for the day before the track day. Haven't ridden the bike for close to 6 weeks now, driving me mad. Would have been a lot worse without the HP4.

I know it's been talked to death, but you think on the first one, and what you've been through as kinda a beta custmer tune-wise, they woulda just sent you one. They could say keep it under your hat if they were worried everyone else would expect it. They have been "waiting for them to arrive" for 5 days now, so I'm guessing they aren't even manufascured yet - but you'll be going too fast to notice I'm sure!
 
The thing I objected to was the suggestion that they would repair it, which was their first gambit, and that I had to send it back first, which showed a lack of trust.

They then agreed to run the swap in parallel if I sent them confirmation that I had shipped the part, again showing a lack of trust which was annoying, and is reflective of the paranoia we have seen exhibited on this forum.

Ultimately I wanted to send it back so they could see what happened and so they could make sure it wouldn't happen again on the replacement, and returning a part that was warrantied is pretty standard. I like the sound and we have extracted good overall performance so I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face!

I'm hoping that the heatshield has shipped with it but I don't think so, so who knows when I'll get that but given I spent $80 shipping the broken exhaust back to them I'd expect to pay nothing for the heatshield.

I've toyed with the idea of starting a new site with mods able to a shut down threads that get out of control after a warning. They also control where vendors post, and control the spam. When Duc went AWOL I set up the basic infrastructure so if that happens again I will set it live.

Let me know if you need help - this forum is turning into a madhouse with way too much bitching that distracts from sensible discussion about the 1199 and associated topics. :mad:
