parts from california

[PismoLocal]

I was wondering if and when i can send you some parts off my 400ex, and what payment method do you preffer?

[Pappy]

You can send them when ever you like.

I accept paypal (add3%) MC or Visa, money orders, personal checks (must hold till check clears)

[PismoLocal]

Sweet can you pm me a mailing address then, i would like to send tomorrow or monday. thank you

[Pappy]

Info sent

what are ya sending, and what colors you looking for? Ive been going thru powder like beer thru rico and i want to make sure i have enough of what you want:p

[PismoLocal]

Im sendin you my brake calipers and rear hubs which i would like trans red, and my spindles and motor mounts which i would like jet black. Later on im plannin on sendin in some a-arms and my swing arm but i dont have the money for that right now. I have a cylinder that needs some sort of coating too, i just sand blasted it a couple days ago so its bare any suggestions as to what to coat it with?

[PismoLocal]

sorry i was mistaken i want stealth black not jet black

[Pappy]

no prob on those colors

as far as the cylinder, there are a few spay on rattle can products that have been working well from what folks are telling me. i can moly coat it black if you'd like, but thats the only way i personally will mess with them

[PismoLocal]

How much are the 3 calipers (disassembled by me), spindles, motor mounts and rear hubs gonna cost me? and how much to moly coat the cylinder?

[Pappy]

3 calipers $15 each

spindles $15 each

motor mounts $10

rear hubs $15 each

Moly the cylinder, $35

[PismoLocal]

So $115 with out the jug?

[PismoLocal]

Is there tax or any other charges after the 115 ?

[PismoLocal]

Hey do you have any close up pics of translucent red?

[Pappy]

yes $115 plus $15 return shipping without the jug

no taxes due to you being out of state.

[PismoLocal]

i cant get one of the a-arms out of the spindle any suggestions?

[Pappy]

if ya cant get it out ship it together.

[PismoLocal]

i was hopin you would say that. :D

[PismoLocal]

How much would it be for the upper part of my rear linkage done it stealth black and the lower part done in trans red?

[Pappy]

around $25 complete.

[PismoLocal]

I just finished taking out the linkage and im sending it out would you like me to send or post a list of the parts and which colors i would like them sprayed just to clarify things?

[Pappy]

if you could post them that would be great!

[PismoLocal]

ok here it is

spindles- stealth black

motor mounts- stealth black

upper linkage- stealth black

front calipers- translucent red

rear caliper- translucent red

lower linkage- translucent red

[PismoLocal]

i decided not to do my hubs yet. I would rather have all 4 done at the same time along with some other parts. i get paid feb 15 so expect some more parts from me comin your way.

[PismoLocal]

The mail lady just came and picked up the parts i just mailed them parcel post so they will be there in a week, inside the box i included a return shipping postage and a priority mail sticker. Tomorrow i will mail my spindles, they wouldn't fit in the box that i originally bought because i thought i would be able to get the spindles off my a-arms.

[PismoLocal]

Hey pappy can you tell me when you recieve my parts just so i know they got there safe?

[Pappy]

i sure will!

[PismoLocal]

hey pappy i just bought some used eaxis shocks and i was wondering how much it would be for you to powder coat the springs (triple rate) but i have one minor problem..... i cant get them off of the shocks. i would be willing to pay xtra for you to take them off just name your price. thanx

[Pappy]

coating the springs would run $35 depending on colors.

disassembly/reassembly is $15 but......

shipping them sucka's across the country is expensive. i can help you get them apart if needed, you might need an extra hand but they arent hard to do.

[PismoLocal]

ya that would be awesome if you could tell me how especially if it is gonna save me some cash. thanx

[Pappy]

loosen the preload all the way, turn the shock over and pull down on the main spring. this will alllow you to remove the keep/retainer and then the springs and crossovers will come off.

keep track of what spacer is in what order so when you reassemble them you will have them in the correct order

[PismoLocal]

You should be recieving my parts sometime between today and wednesday.

[PismoLocal]

They should be there any day now. You'll know there mine cuz they're from california, i couldn't imagine you get to much packages from over here. Im so excited its makin me mad that my parts havent even got to you yet. :grr:

[Pappy]

i wouldnt worry yet, they will arrive. UPS,FED EX and DHL have all been here already today.

[PismoLocal]

no parts yet huh? :(

[Pappy]

i havent seen anything, do you have a tracking number i can check?

[PismoLocal]

No I didnt get one i wasnt there when it was picked up. Dang usps i hate em!!!!!!! i guess thats what i get for sendin it parcel post. Next time im sendin ups ground.

[Pappy]

oh no worries then, snail mail is easily 10 days coast to coast

[PismoLocal]

I hope so, if it doesnt get they're by the end of next monday then ill start worryin.

[PismoLocal]

ok im worried now. :( :confused:

[Pappy]

i wouldnt worry just yet, time tends to go in slow motion when you ship or are waiting on a shipment. im expecting a notice anyday that i have to run to the post office to pick up the box:p

[PismoLocal]

Im feeling good about today

[Pappy]

did you ship first class, priority or parcel post?

[PismoLocal]

i shipped parcel post like an idiot

[PismoLocal]

i sent it through my work, i used our postage machine and printed out a stamp and then taped your address and my return address on it. im seriously wonderin whats goin on with it now, inside the box i also included a priority sticker and a return shipping stamp made out for $13 so you could ship it back.

[PismoLocal]

It was taped on there good to there is no way the address fell off. This is the address i shipped to is this correct?

[Pappy]

parcel post is like a dead snail:p i had an issue with this service a few years back, the packages recieve no priority and are the last out of every terminal. i still wouldnt be concerned

[PismoLocal]

Thank god for your optimism pappy i was pricing out new calipers and linkages on ebay right now and it wasnt looking pretty. im really not in a rush any ways i'm not goin to go riding until the first week of march so there is no hurry. im goin to send you some more stuff on friday, this time im sending priority or first class so expect more parts soon.

[PismoLocal]

The check for the arms is going out today, i need +2 for a 400ex I was wondering if I could get them nicleplated from burgard? I saw some on ebay that were nickleplated and I really liked how they looked. If they aren't nickleplated then i would like trans red lowers and stealth black uppers. Im sendin the check priotity too, so it should be there by the end of the week.

[Pappy]

yep nickle is no problem

[PismoLocal]

SWEEEEET your the man pappy!!!!!!!!! The check was just picked up too. Do you think you could powder coat the tie rods trans red, if its extra i can just pay pal you the money when you get the arms.

[Pappy]

is your last name Gilletto or similiar>? i just got a notice i had a pick up at the PO.

[PismoLocal]

Nope my last name is Smith

[Pappy]

ok, i was just hoping the mail finally had brought the parts:p

[PismoLocal]

Ya me too. lol

Hmmm surley that couldn't be my parts already!?!? I shipped my parts to you Friday via priority mail and my last name is Gillette!!

[Pappy]

yep i reckon thats them. priority mail rules:p

[cb450r]

Yep i have a new found faith in my post office:D especially with the weather like it has been on the East side of the country!!

[PismoLocal]

What size brake line clamps fit the burgard arms? 7/8" or 1"?

[PismoLocal]

I just talked to my mail lady and she said that a postal worker went crazy and killed three people in santa barbara at the post office and all mail was held there for 2 weeks while investigations went on and she said thats why my package is takin so long. She also said not to mail parcel post because i could deliver the package faster on my bike than they will ship it . She said im lookin at 4-6 weeks from ship date.

[Pappy]

i will measure the arms for ya


that sucks about the folks that were killed, i hope they did not get crap all over the box your sending:p

yep, it took 18 days to ship a box from maryland to new jersey via parcel post, i sure wish the folks at the post office woul have told me that before i shipped using that service as it would have helped me not look like i was lying about the parts i was sending. the poor feller called me every name in the book and a few that werent:p

[PismoLocal]

ok ill be waitin for the measurement and please also notify me when you get my check. thanks.

[PismoLocal]

Ok i mailed off my old arms and spindles to you this time i sent priority and i have a tracking # for you . The check for the arms went out last week on tuesday i think and that was shipped priority too. ill pm you with the tracking #.

[Pappy]

ok...excellent

do we have an ETA on the parts that were hung up with that post office shooting deal?

[PismoLocal]

Nope i didnt get a tracking # for that box and it was sent parcel im guessing it will show up at your post office some time in the next couple of weeks. The check was sent priority last tuesday and spindles were shipped today priority mail too. My calipers, linkage and motor mounts will just get there when they get there i guess.

[PismoLocal]

You still havent recieved the check huh?

[Pappy]

yep, recieved check yesterday

[PismoLocal]

SWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

so when do you think im goin to have those arms?:D

[Pappy]

they were cutting the parts to make 400ex arms yesterday so hopefully early next week

[PismoLocal]

NICE! ya im not in a hurry its not like i can go riding or anything seeing as how my calipers and linkage are MIA. Im ridiculously excited about the arms though, your the man!

[PismoLocal]

i just checked my tracking # and it says my part are waitin for ya at the post office!!!!!! :D

[Pappy]

excellent, i recieved the notice tonight myself although i had no idea what box it was:p i will grab them in the morning

[PismoLocal]

The arms connected to the spindles are junk I would appreciate it if you could throw them out or keep them or something because I'm cheap and dont want to pay for them to get shipped back here just to throw them away.:D

[Pappy]

ok gotcha


recieved 3 a arms and 2 spindles

[PismoLocal]

yep that sounds right

[PismoLocal]

Tell me how much i owe you and ill paypal you asap.

[Pappy]

haha, what am i doing with the parts recieved. im geussing getting the arms off the spindles, then coating the spindles? what color?

[PismoLocal]

stealth black on the spindles :D

[PismoLocal]

When will you be cashing the check for the arms?

[Pappy]

the check has been deposited. being out of state i think it takes 3 to 5 days to clear.


your spindles are completed

[PismoLocal]

Is that a red moly coating on the spindle shaft?

[Pappy]

yep

[PismoLocal]

Sweet!

[PismoLocal]

How much do I owe you?

[PismoLocal]

Im giving up on my parts i bought a rear linkage last night on ebay and would it be ok to have the seller ship it directly to you?

[Pappy]

yeah thats fine, and i probably have a linkage here:p

total on spindles with shipping is $38

[PismoLocal]

So i should send 39.14 with paypal?

[Pappy]

yep that will be dead on the money

[PismoLocal]

What is your paypal account?

[PismoLocal]

ttt

[PismoLocal]

I see that check still hasn't cleared, are you going to ship the arms and spindles together or seperate?

[Pappy]

spindles have shipped, arms are being built

[PismoLocal]

nice thanx for the update.

[PismoLocal]

Nice, thank you for the update.

[PismoLocal]

My check cleared today

[Pappy]

your arms will be done today, but did i remember correctly that you want them nickle plated? if so they should be complete next week, if you want them pc'd i can do them this weekend

[PismoLocal]

How much more would it be if i got them nickle plated and then you powdercoated the uppers trans blue? I would like to go with a trans red, trans blue, and stealth black scheme on my quad.

[PismoLocal]

How hard would it be for a local powdercoater to match the same exact color that trans red that you spray. im going to ship my parts to you little by little but i cant afford to pay the $120 round trip ship for my frame.

[Pappy]

it shouldnt be hard for them at all.

there is no extra charge for nickle or pc to get you what ever color scheme you are wanting.

[PismoLocal]

Sweet i would like nickle lowers with trans blue uppers then. You should be gettin the linkage soon.

[PismoLocal]

Nevermind the linkage arrived at my house im sending it to you today.

[Pappy]

no prob,


your uppers are now trans blue, lowers are at the nickle platers

[PismoLocal]

Wow im officially excited are they gonnna be shipped sometime this week?

[Pappy]

it will entirely depend on when they get back from nickle plating.

[PismoLocal]

Ok no worries im not in as hurry for any thing i still have to buy all new calipers and motor mounts til i can ride again any ways.

[PismoLocal]

I recieved the spindles in the mail yesterday...WOW they look awesome. Great work man, once i buy some more calipers ill get them sent off to you.

[Pappy]

I have a set of motor mounts here if you need them!

[PismoLocal]

I'll take em how much do you want?

[PismoLocal]

I lost motor mounts, all 3 calipers, and my linkage and i bought a stock linkage last week and i just bought front calipers for $50.

[Pappy]

no charge seeing you got d!cked by the post office.

[PismoLocal]

How much to powdercoat them stealth then?

[PismoLocal]

If you ever find a good deal on a rear caliper id be interested too, I've been looking on ebay but they are all the used ones are like $70.

[Pappy]

haha dont worry about it, ill do them and send them back with your other parts. linkage arrived today

[PismoLocal]

cool that means that my hubs will be there tomorrow then.:D
How about trans blue upper linkage and trans red lower linkage.

[PismoLocal]

did you recieve my hubs yet?

[Pappy]

nothing arrived today, but i did not get the mail yet either:p

[Pappy]

Just a heads up, i will be ordering you a new set of linkage bearings, these are shot

[PismoLocal]

Ya i was planning on replacing them anyways because theres now way of knowin how old they are.

[PismoLocal]

My hubs should be there any day now, I was just wondering how much I owe you because if i remember correctly those linkage bearings are around $60 right?

[Pappy]

i wont know the price until they arrive, but ill treat your right:p

as soon as your hubs arrive i will knock out the parts. im expecting a call that your lower arms are done anyday also

[PismoLocal]

Ok sweet thanks for the update, im trying to make an effort to not bug you as much now:)

[Pappy]

bug away, its all part of customer service and i dont mind one bit. i wish i could bug people that im waiting on:D

[Pappy]

i went ahead and did the parts that i had here for you

[PismoLocal]

SWEEEEEEETTT!

[PismoLocal]

Looks like my hubs are waiting for you at the post office.:)

[PismoLocal]

I was just going to remind you that i sent the linkage with 3 bolts, if you could please try and make sure i get those back with the linkage i would be very greatful seeing as i need those bolts.
Also wondering if you recieved my hubs and if you had any news on my arms?

[PismoLocal]

bump

[Pappy]

yes sir, recieved the hubs, i just have to break them down...and i need to know what colors.

[PismoLocal]

Trans blue on the hubs please :)

[Pappy]

all thats left is to reinstall the bearings and re mount the rotors

[PismoLocal]

sweet how much do i owe you for everything?

[PismoLocal]

Ok i just paid you, will they be shipped tomorrow ?

[PismoLocal]

Im not in a hurry or anything im just excited about the arms and i cant wait to take my quad for a spin again.

[Pappy]

one box shipped today, another will ship on monday. i had to get the hubs all reassembled

[PismoLocal]

beautiful

[PismoLocal]

ok i recieved the arms today, they look AWESOME! But the lower arms dont have bearing/bushings on them and they dont have ball joints either the top have the ball joints and bushings but the lowers dont. Are the lower bushings and ball joints in the other box you were talking about or should i call burgard?

[PismoLocal]

o i just realized that the tie rods arent here either.

[Pappy]
