http://community.webshots.com/user/uberduck I think that looks really nice. | ||

I have hear negative things about those pieces. Very expensive, very heavy and it requires "professional" installation. WHatever that means. I saw them on ebay and I heard that they don't fit well. | ||

Who said that? Give names man....! Otherwise it could be competition trying to give them a bad reputation from rumors and gossip. I too have heard people say "I heard this or that" but haven't seen anyone with the proof of them on their cycle. I want photo proof~ | ||

It was actually discussed here recently. The parts were on eBay at one time. I don't recall the outcome, if any. | ||

Tr9....They are listed on ebay constantly for $2500.00 for a set. There are never any bids and if you look closely at he pics you will notice that they aren't even solid carbon. The black on the inside is the plastic that the "carbon" is layed-up over the top making them heavy and not fit right. MOre than likely, the carbon isn'r real carbon. Just a sticker aplication with a clearcoat (acrylic) over the top. Look real close at the screw holes and mounting points. Kinda pricey for something that is not good quality.....don't a think?

IIRC, those are the pieces Roc made originally. On Ebay this last time they belonged to a company in Singapore. Same pictures. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/58304.html | ||

Those pictures look remarkably like the bodywork Roc commissioned someone to make for him.... Later on that company gave Roc lots of trouble, didn't return the molds he paid them to make for him etc. Later again they started "selling" these pieces, using pictures Roc took to advertise them. The pieces you see in the pictures are in Roc's possession and those are Roc's pictures. Not necessarily the kind of outfit I would deal with. Henrik | ||

Wycked beat me to it  | ||

| Ingemar |

Found that link where Roc speaks: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/57681.html?1084827919 | ||

I am certain that is another piece of bodywork I had made. I ordered two complete sets made, after having the molds made, and an incomplete set in natural Kevlar color. The only piece I know of that has not been in my position is the pictured tail section. If anyone can give me any other information regarding the R1 in the pictures, what country has a license like that in the wind screen for instance, I would appreciate it. I know the ebay auction photos, all of them so far as I can tell, were taken in Thailand. I doubt I have any recourse in the matter but I would like to know the truth about it all. I know of at least 4 parties that have been involved in this fiasco and I would like to know more about any sales activity they pursue regarding parts I paid to have made. Ingemar - I think it looks nice too.  | ||

Roc, you might be able to get Yahoo to give you information about the IP address that is logged in association with usage of the email account. The company hosting the photos might do the same thing. If you can get the IP address, it might be possible to pin them down to an area of a country. Depending on the country, it might be possible to get the actual owner of the account. Ebay would be another good source for hunting fraud. It will be a painful process, but it is not impossible. Yahoo et. al. won't just roll over and give them to you, but if you have a lawyer or some sort of law enforcement official willing to make some calls or send some emails, it can be gotten. It's possible for them to hide their real location, but it is a PITA, so unless you are a professional cyber bad guy, most crooks don't bother. Alledging fraud might be enough to get the people suppling this group with... well, any internet presence, to pull the account. So if you want to just make sure they have no public forum, you can keep finding them and getting their hosting pulled. Send a professionally worded letter, as short as possible but with relevant traceable details, to the people hosting any aspect of their service. Hosting photos, hosting auctions, handling their email, etc. Write something along the following lines.
Depends on how much time and energy you want to fuss with. They may or may not give you anything, or may or may not pull the hosting, but you might get some good results. If you can get an LEO representitive to send it, so much the better. | ||

Mike from the Xcite company contacted me a while back. Basically he asked me to help him after he read the negative posts here on badweb. I have advised Mike several times on what I believe would be the right thing to do. So far to no avail. Both Roc and Badweb custodians were informed about what has been going on. Here is my last message to Mike, posted originally on Buelletinboard. I hope he will read it either here or there:

Ingemar, good going. Sorry to hear that he has not stepped up an said anything. I'm sure he'd sell a lot of carbon if he was on the up and up. | ||

Same one too. Guess he's selling enough to the uninformed to make a profit. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
That is the same as the last Ebay auction I mentioned before. Note that it is listed as being in Singapore. | ||

Hello, an email of my side of the story have been sent to Rocky. Perhaps he (roc) can do me this huge favour by telling everyone whats going on. so for now, lets wait for rocky's reply before i make any attempt to clear out this ••••. Thank you Ingemar for helping me. |
