    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 ordered Mikuni RS34-40 carburetor rack rebuild kit from Niche cycle about 1,5 month ago. When I finally get the package home a few weeks ago
and opened it, there was Mikuni BST31-40 rebuild kit.
I have try to contact them by e-mail several times, but no answer.
It pisses me off to pay for the expensive parts customs payment, receive wrong parts and don?t get an answer to any e-mail.
Is that common when trying to contac them?
 
I've only been an irregular customer of Niche, but always found them to be on the ball.
Maybe they've changed ownership.

Try calling?

Our typical business hours are: Monday-Friday 9am-6pm EST
Local and international phone: (727) 342-5601
Toll Free Number: 1-888-792-0692​

Did you pay to expedite? If not how is 1.5 months a long wait?

If you used a CC contact the company to initiate a chargeback.
After you call.

A webstore may look slick but without calling you cant be sure your email has not gotten filtered by an incoming rule and sent to an electronic "dead letter" office.
 
I got a reply last night and they have refunded my order and I will get my money back.
In my work I often order spare parts from all over the world and I am used to faster communication with different suppliers.
Anyway, They responded to my claim and case is closed.

I also order parts from all over the world and 6 week wait is common and waits even longer happen. However, we can expedite in stock items so this helps. I have learned that western europe doesn't have the same motivation america does (and our motivation isn't the good kind) LOL... It doesn't bother me but my customers get hot sometimes...

I'm employed by a German company, have been for years and I've learned a lot...
