    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I chose to order stainless brake lines and fittings for the GS and XJ Turbo around the end of November. I chose Earl's Store because they seemed to have a good reputation and their prices seemed fair.

I have yet to receive my order!

The first time I called I was told the adjustable banjo fittings were on backorder and they sent me an e-mail explaining this. I politely explained I did not receive an email and changed the order to the non-adjustable fittings. They said they had the parts in stock and would ship that day. About two weeks passed and still no brake lines!

I called again and got the exact same line as the first time I called. Again, I said change order to non-adjustable fittings. I was told the parts would ship the same day.

It's been a couple of weeks and I still have no parts! I sent them an e-mail today explaining the situation and will call them on Tuesday. Depending on the response I get next week, I will most likely report them to the BBB and call my CC company about the charges.

I'd really like to think this is just an accident and they are not crooks, but this has been going on too long.

Has anyone here done business with them? If so, did you have any problems?
 
I ordered from them in late July and got mine in late August for the same backorder reason. I spoke to the owner while waiting and he explained they only order about 1000 of each item so they don't maintain a lot of backstock. Unfortunately, if they get a rush on orders (like they did this summer) it will take some time. They were pretty good about calling me back and I would call them every couple of weeks too. Give them a shout and see what's going on. They will get them out to you and you won't be disappointed.
