ectomite,
I had the same problem with txpowersports and RPS
.
My post about it is under PureDirt or just search
Viper Rickypowersports (therps.net)
txpowersports should be put out of business and his other businesses. RPS knows what they are importing and shipping, problem bikes and they don't care. You have to be like a dog on a bone to solve any problems with RPS products. They kick the can down the road and kick the can down the road thinking that you will just go away if they put you off.
If you need any help just call me, my phone number is on DIYcycles.us
