OK, so most of you know I was involved in a nice hit and run accident last may 23rd and my bike went in to get fixed. It was a rather long drama between the insurance company and the dealership getting it fixed, but in the end it was all taken care of.
Now I have a Chic Design faring on the bike since I got it back and they had not "fixed" everything that went wrong from the accident. They replaced every part of the instrument cluster except the gauges themselves. The display showed a fault in some of the segments intermittently after I brought it home and I had to get it back into them (after I installed the faring).
Well I picked it up and rode home thinking all was right with the world (before my hip surgery) so I haven't ridden it in a few months and I come to find that the IDIOT mechanic that put it back together left the headlight aimed up as high as it would go (presumably for access to the screws on the headlight bezel) and put the faring on with the headlight like that. HOW DOES A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!?!?!? One of the steps (the last one as a matter of fact) of re-installing the headlight is AIMING IT!!!
This was where I bought the bike and I can't say how disappointed I am with that place. What a complete and total JOKE of a service department.
When I went to pick the bike up the first time the clutch stay was rotated so far forward that the left mirror was almost unusable. How can this be acceptable work?
Ugh.
