Powerbronze

Only got the bellypan and crashposts because Powerbronze admitted that they didn't actually make a lens shield for the 900, even though it was on their website.
Tried to fit the bellypan last year (I never get round to things in a hurry) and ended up sending it back for a refund as the bits supplied didn't even fit together (hadn't even tried getting it on the bike at this stage).
Tried fitting the crash posts this weekend, and guess what - they don't fit together either (supplied bolts do not physically fit through the aluminium inserts in the crash posts).
Powerbronze are refusing to do anything about it as :
a) they've reset their computers and have no record of my original purchase, only the refund for the bellypan
b) it's outside the 12month period for returning goods (okay, my fault).
If I wanted more crash posts from them (unlikely), I'd have to pay full price for them.
Would you buy anything ever again from a company who, out of three items ordered, couldn't supply one as it didn't exist and supplied the other two - both of which don't fit together?

2. Don't let them know you've already posted here
3. Ask all forum members to ring and check if bellypan and crash posts are guaranteed to fit and what they will do if they don't
4.
5.
6. Visit them personally if not too far away and discuss the matter calmly (That's what my Mum said to say)

I bought a Flip up screen and hugger from them too.... Screen had a heat mark in it and was bloody awful when fitted (Wind straight into crash hemlet!) and rear hugger just wouldn't fit.. When I rang them They said "How about if you filled and drilled some new holes to make it fit" But agreed to a full re-fund but wouldn't pay the return postage!!!!
NEVER USE THEM AGAIN

Nobody likes a slagging and moreover a 'dealer' who's income depends on us.

Was going to order a Powerbronze Bellypan for my 900, obviouslly not a good idea. . .
So can anyone recommend a Bellypan from another company that will fit the 900.

There's a genuine Yamaha one available, but I shudder to think what the price would be!

I was at the local Yamaha stealer today loking at a TDM900 , & noticed that the hugger is kind of short. Does the like like of powerbronze Puigg, skidmarks make an alternative or hugger extender for the 9'er just out of curiosity, not that I am thinking of coming out the closet.

BTW I think the Puig belly pan looks better than the powerbronze one

Result is that she is sending me the correct inserts, and if i had any more problems to get back to her.
So after giving them a good bashing (I was more than a tad annoyed and after 3 hours they hadn't called me back (it took the later email to make that happen) ), I do feel slightly guilty that maybe I could have given them another chance
The reason I never got round to trying to fit them earlier was because of the various threads stating that crashposts/bungs/thingies were the root of all evil and that I should fit engine bars instead.

I have a Puig bellypan in the garage, in "black-for-painting" with slight heat damage (I didn't notice until I took it off), you can have it if you want, I'm just over the bridge.
