From: Gyp on 10 Jun 2010 14:37 So, I ordered up a set of tyres and a set of hoses for the Busa from M&P. Pirelli Diablo Stradas and a set of Hel standard configuration hoses in black with black banjos. Pirellis are still on back order, but Hel are clearly struggling. After a short delay, I got some hoses. One pair of front hoses, race configuration, in black with stainless banjos. No rear. Quick call to M&P; very understanding - they got on to Hel and confirmed that a correct set would be sent out in a day or so. 2 days later, I get a full set of 3 hoses in standard configuration. In stainless with stainless. Email M&P this time so they have a clear written instruction. They get back to me; very understanding - they got on to Hel and confirmed that a correct set would be sent out in a day or so. 2 days later, I get a full set of 3 hoses. Black with extra black. Woo hoo. But oops, the fronts are in race configuration. Email M&P again, suggesting that they just send me the singe over-guard hose to complete the set that arrived today. They get back to me; very understanding - they got on to Hel and confirmed that a correct set would be sent out in a day or so. So I'm expecting either a single hose or set 4, probably on Saturday. Wonder what'll turn up? Prace bets now. I've tried the alternative approach for the Beemer; I went into the local BMW shoppe, talked to the very helpful parts lady and pointed at the screen until we'd both decided which parts I was after. Hopefully that'll be more effective -- Gyp GSX1300RZ R80RT R65RS replace .co.uk with .com to reply

At the moment there's one set lost in the post that's going to land on CT's mat. Depending on what turns up, I might have some more to lose. -- Gyp Another PC, another sig |
