Well, it's been a month. My bike still isn't done. Three weeks ago I put down a deposit and had them order the cables (stainless steel braided, [livejournal.com profile] whizzrjohn) for my handlebar swap. After two weeks they finally told me that all the parts had arrived. Actually, I had to continuously call them because their communication skills are distinctly lacking. Last week I took the bike over there. There original guesstimate was a day or two.

So here I sit, a week later, with no motorcycle. I called Monday and they said they had the bars on and the cables installed. Today they were just supposed to hook everything up, bleed and refill the brake line, and it would be done. I waited patiently all day long, but finally came home and started mowing the lawn. Guess when they called. Yeah, so I called back and left a message because they didn't actually say that the bike was finished, just to call them back.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will bring good news. ::crossing fingers and toes they haven't damaged my Reaver::

Sorry you're getting screwed around. It sounds like a combination of having an involved project done right at the start of prime riding season, and dealing with a shop whose service is less than ideal. Hopefully some alternatives places will present themselves as you talk to other riders in the area. Don't rule out taking it to a dealership if it gets good reviews; your bike is still new enough that they won't look at you cross-eyed, and they're familiar enough with working on them that it shouldn't take long for them to get the job done.

Hope you're in the wind soon.
