    while back, i changed out a piston on my 01 570 TE , had some issued finding a good forged highcomp like the one that was in it.
    Dan and Motoxotics got a Wossner for me.
    it installed well, ran awesome for 10 hours, then started a mid cyl knock.
    well, i took it back down, and was shocked at the wrist pin, wore the the coating, and trashed itself.
    Dan went the extra mile, and sent me a new one.. i think he just ate the old one, and made it right..Dans a first class guy all the way..
    well,
    i measured the cyl, and now do to the loose pin, its wallered out like a bell at the bottom. so it has to be replated.
    send it to a local guy...Kustom Kraft...im kind of leary of using another coated wrist pin. so i call the dist, they never call me back, i call Kustom Kraft, he,s a dealer for them,he gets with Wossner, and they are no longer using that coated pin...duuuh...so...i have a nother hard chromed pin on the way..hopefully..
    the one issue i have...i talked to a rep at the supplier for Wossner, he was supposed to call me back within a few days and give me a heads up..never heard back..WTF..had the guy at Kustom Kraft call them, he called me back.., and gave me the issue...
    is it really that tough to call a customer back and give him a heads up??

    I can kinda feel your pain friend. I ordered spokes from a local guy that I do business with. I paid for the spokes up front (big mistake). That was well over a month ago. I am fitting an excel front rim on my 2000 TE410. The bike now sits because of a bent rim. Now I am waiting (starting to get impatient) for my @#$@ spokes. I can't even get my money back since the spokes are supposedly "custom" I am not a happy camper and of course I am stuck. I will have to continue to wait. I don't know who to be angry at. The guy I do business with or the ditributor. I have the feeling I am getting jerked around by both parties. I hope your situation works out. Keep us posted.
