Ok, so ist's been like forever since there's been any activity here.
Near the end of the summer I actually found an alternator for the bike at an on-line salvage yard in California, and it was cheap. So I ordered it, and waited for it to arrive. And waited...and waited...and waited.
So after a while I e-mail them and asked when they were going to ship it since my card had been charged like for 2 months and i hadn't heard anything. then i waited for a reply...and waited..and waited.
I e-mailed them again. Finally they contact me and inform me that my order was filled and shipped way back when. They're gonna check with FedEx and get back with me...and I waited...and waited.
I e-mailed them again. Finally they contact me and provide me with the FedEx tracking number...and tell me that FedEx has no record of this package being delivered. In fact they have no record of the number at all.
So I e-mail them again and ask them what they intend to do about this. They reply that I should look for FedEx to credit my card. So I wait...and wait...and wait...nothing.
So I e-mail them again and ask them what they intend to do about this. They reply that I should be getting that credit just any ol' day and not to dispair.
So I wait...and wait...and wait and finally any ol' day rolls around and I get that credit.Of course I am more disappointed about not getting the part than I am happy about getting the money back.
But wait...what do I find under the Christmas Tree? Some greasy, used, but not abused, motorcycle parts including a kick-start shaft and the elusive rotor for the alternator. So now all I'm waitng for is some warm weather to get in the garage and get back at it.
