    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 a Telefix fork brace a few weeks ago, for my GS1000. At least I thought I did. At the time the owner said the price would be significantly higher due to shipping costs, and the fluctuations in the EURO. I wasn't having any luck on ebay, so okay, $159 bucks I agreed to pay. I was told delivery would be in about 4 weeks.

Well were in the 4 week window, so I called. HE HAS NOT ORDERED MY PART! Again I get a whine about the EURO, he's not making any money on these, shipping charges, yada...yada...

I canceled my "order". Look, I'm not expecting a business to lose money, but he could have at least contacted me. Now I've wasted 4 weeks, and actually passed up a few used fork braces on ebay.

Not a very professional business, if you ask me.
 
I had the exact same experience with SpecII about eight or nine years ago when I tried to order a fork brace for my GS850.

Same BS line about exchange rates (except it was the Deutsche Mark back then), same bad attitude, and same utter lack of action.

Isn't there anyone else importing Telefix products?
 
I talked to the SpecII guy a few weeks ago and he came off kind of rude. He said they just moved and things were a mess, so I understand his pain, but he said he doesn't really make money on selling them.

The parts are imported from Germany, which is why it has a long lead time of 4-weeks.

I contacted my German counterparts and it costs them 129 Euro's which is about $170 USD.

Telefix out of Germany recommended me to this seller:

Wild Hair Accessories
Irfan Berk
5505 W.Fallen Leaf Ln
AZ 85310 GLENDALE / USA
E-Mail: infowildhair@cox.net
Phone: 6235811994

Irfan has sent me a few emails, so they're decent communicators. Try them out...price is still $170.
