Angry rant aimed at Kuryakyn - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Man, talk about frustration. I let the really small things get to me, and today was just that kind of situation. Awhile back my mirror adapter for my Suzuki M50 broke off INSIDE the mirror, requiring me to go and have it taken out professionally (by a friend) He rebuilds motors so he knows his stuff, but even easy out and his other methods wouldn't work, so he retapped it. So now I have some NEW adapters, also made from Kuryakyn, and I'm all ready to put my mirrors back on. Well one of the stupid adpaters was threaded wrong! How can you mess up making a BOLT?! I know just a small error in the threads can ruin it but c'mon! Two bad adapters in a row? Gimme a break. Then I thought, "Maybe I'm just frustrated and i'm getting in a hurry." I knew I was turning it the right way, but tried the other just to be sure, which made me feel even more stupid. Then I thought, "Maybe it's the hole itself on the bike...crap now I'm in trouble." But when I went to get my old mirrors they went right in, no problem! So I've got another crappy adapter, that's two strikes for Kuryakyn. It's a 10 dollar problem but dang, 10 bucks will fill my tank up! I'm calling them tomorrow AGAIN to have them send me another free set AGAIN. Hopefully they'll get it right this time. Just my little rant for the day, it's been one of those days for sure...
