  • 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.

Ive been down that road too many times fixing what others had done and I can tell you the customer of "MR.Xs carb shop" arent happy campers. I wouldnt paint any carbs with anything other than an epoxy based paint thats formulated and states that it is FUEL RESISTANT...just sayin.

If this is true. On what evidence is it based, as I had planned to use his service myself at some point ?
 
I never stated that " MR X" was Paul...so again your now the one making unfair assaults. If your that friggin stupid to realise that my term " MR X" was a GENERIC term for " for WHOEVER the other guy was " then you really dont warrant further responses.. Hold on a second. I will try to draw up a picture menu like at Mc Donalds so you can follow along.
 
Oh. I thought you were just going after low hanging fruit. My ultra sonic cleaner works great and it was $45- Anyway gotta fly! Literally. 24F. Back to work for three weeks..
 
IF i remmeber correctly from way back when he got his..it was something LIKE... and this isnt a quote here by any means you nit pickers out there..in the ball park of 315 bucks or something.
 
Thanks for the back up Dale.. Yeah they do look ok if that what one likes and wants. I clearly remember posting this EXACT sentiment also. I simply stated what i saw as problems with things being painted that will move and crack and chip the paint off. And anyone that has ever painted so much as a model airplane knows..Once the sealed edges of that paint cracks from the base materials, the moisture, fuel, grease and whatever else has a place to seep in and delaminate the rest and slowly ruin the entire shooting match.
 
Chuck, if that's the amount he charges, to me, it looks like his service is a much better deal that what wired George charges.

It wasn't a back up, it was just my observation after re-reading the details.

On a personal note, if the buyer is happy with the service, there is no one else that matters. Now on the other hand, if you had contracted to have you carbs worked on and had a reason to be dissatisfied with the service, then I think it would be appropriate to post negative comments (not saying you had) 'as was the case' when you had your first set done by wired George.

There are a few things I would have done differently if it had been myself doing those carbs, but that would be just nit picking little specs of fly crap out of it. Nothing major by any means. The same as I know people could do that same to me with what I have done on my bikes. It all come down to personal preferences some times.

Keep in mind this section is for buyer reviews.

Mr. X is also a term used when describing another person to avoid liability. You had been talking exclusively about the work in question. What conclusion would you draw ?
To say that your comments were not disparaging to Mr. Jones business is just not true.
Dale is correct that this is the Buyer Review section. An apparently satisfied customer proudly posted pics of his newly cleaned carbs. And someone has posted views based on those pics which imply otherwise.
I think an appropriate action would be to delete those posts. After which I would follow suit.

Hey Adrian...wanna make a wager onn how hard the chokes will workm once that paint gets dragged into the plate? I am sitting here laughing my azz off at how much this is gonna clog chit up!! Hes not gonna be such a happy camper when he reads all this ands sees it happening right in front of his eyes as he actuates the choke and throttle. So whats the lesson learned her folks..either think it well thru BEFORE doing something or rely on the old addgae of "less is more".

You seriously don't consider this an attack on the service performed?...Are we all reading the same thread?

And just to clean up the Berryman's assumptions, the OP is in Canada where you can't source original Berryman's due to evironmental laws. You can only get Kleen-FLO which was $70 after taxes JUST FOR THE DIP. No basket, or parts.
 
Reread your exact words BCCAP...see that word you used "conclusions"? I never concluded anything..I posted on my ipoinion of what is saw. As hard as that may be for youn or anyone else to accept that just to bad. You just cant stand it when you shove your sanctimonious handful of crap into someones face and they shove it back into yiour face and grind your nose in can you!!!

Tell you what Bull Winkle, PM Mike and ask him what you really dont know! Oh ....and until a few hrs ago I had never heard of his screen name or his real Name for that matter. But i do now..HINT HINT you unknowning troll!! You want the truth??? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
 
Surely if it is a "buyer review" subject then everyone has a right to post their thoughts,questions,concerns about the workmanship that was utilised during the refurb.
Not to question the persons ability or integrity but if he wants more business then surely people want to know his methods and other options he has to offer.
If this is not acceptable then it is not really a review, is it.
 
I would like to say thank you to my supporters. I stand by my work & satisfied clients, several of them GSR members. I've messaged the Administrator Frank & await his decision.
Until then, this thread is dead.

is this guy for real...
 
Schwartz..NO I DONT!! Whoever is sourcing the job should have considered such factors AND fully thought that thru with any potential clients...its just common sense and good service!! I would have told a potential client this as far as my comment on the choke rod..Its a critic of the possibilities and downfalls of painting things that move and flex. I know thats hard for some to accept.

"I can paint the choke rod if you wish and it will move, BUT i would advise against it for the following reasons. First off, soon as its worked back and forth the paint is gonna get scrtached and look cruddy. secondly, IF buy chance it peels and a chunk of paint get jammed between the rack and the rod you run the risk of the choke being jammmed up. I will do as you advise me to do but please take a little time to think it thru before we proceed".

This may have been done and I AM NOT MAKING ANY ASSUMPTIONS OR ACCUSATIONS.


If i sent you that setup and you scratched up the rod and the pant fell off the springs from the flexxing...yiou mean to tell me my phone wouldnt be on fire??? yeah right!!!!

I'd suggest you reread the post. I asked what conclusion you would draw from the previous statement. Unless you have a very poor command of the English language that is evident.
Until today I had a great deal of respect for you, but your recent posts have shown such extreme bitterness and that is no longer the case.
I will no longer post on this matter as you have reduced it to insults. So you win. I humbly admit defeat.
 
I dont need anyones respect here..but i wont sit by and not voice whats as plain as the nose on your faces either. My view of the potential scratching of the paint and such are obvious and very real and you all know it. I posted my observations and myn thought..you guys came with your jabs so you think Im wont come back swinging and throw it back??? Sissies!!!!!

And that above is all you had to post. But instead you've turned it into a 3-page ragefest.
You now sound like lunatic.
