I apologise for confusing common sense with rocket science!
Hear me Jacal , I don't object to genuine flack if I have cocked up big time or deliberately misled you or anyone else. What I do object to are the snide remarks and the Jeckyll and Hyde mismatch between your PMs and posts.
I have tried to help people here and manufactured these in my own time. Everybody except you , so far, is happy, or seemingly so, with the product they received. I do not profess to know every BMW ever made or the ins and outs of model changes year by year, model upon model, spec by spec. This item fits my 2012 GS , it also fits older GS's owned by others , both GS and GSA's in fact.
The moment you realised it would not seat properly around your sidestand footprint was the moment you should have approached me , not after you damaged it!
I offered you a refund provided you haven't damaged the item but your latest PM suggests you have damaged it.
Regarding hindsight , it should be pretty obvious to most folk that you look after a newly received product just in case you need to send it back for any reason. You surely didn't expect me to suggest placing the Hoof fitted sidestand on to a soft cloth or carpet tile before testing on concrete?
Would you buy a motorcycle, scrape the paintwork then say 'sorry , it's not the bike for me' and expect the previous owner to be impressed when you return it?
I'm at a loss to what to say, not once have I said anything derogatory about you product or you, or asked for a refund, I asked if anyone had problems fitting because mine wasn't "SEATING RIGHT" and YOU suggested I put a post up to see if someone could help, when I did, that didn't meet with your approval.
YOU then offered a CODITIONAL REFUND! days after it was apparent it didn't fit, again not asked for!
You have done nothing but make accusation about how you have PERCEIVED my post and my ATTITUDE to the point of being downright rude! in your PM's, tell you what, lets post them!
When I asked you if the grazing on the item where it made contact with the floor was acceptable, YOU asked if the floor was concrete or carpet, I replied that the garage floor was concrete. You even had the cheek to sarcastically reply that I hadn't mentioned it was a GARAGE, we'll I don't know many people that keep their bikes on carpet, I'm sure there is, but the majority keep them on hard standing!
YOU are the one who sarcastically asked about me not being able ot afford the £2 to post the item back, BUT if you had taken just a little longer to think about it, you may have worked out that I didn't want to waste another £2 and that's why I asked about the grazing.
We'll matey it's come to this, your selling 'HOOFS' for the GS and GSA and for your information they DON'T fit all, as I and another have said! BUT when asked your response is to make any excuses to justify yourself.
I DON'T WANT A REFUND AND NEVER ASKED FOR ONE!
TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. i HAVE SO MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO LISTEN TO YOU!
