Woah guys before anything get outa hand. I sold the guy a set of used a kit that was just serviced by jake at factory connection in oregon and had about an hour on it. I spent 1300 bucks with them to have everything replaced and set up. I live in Oregon and not posing as anything. This guy bought this set in December. It’s April. It’s used I never claimed it to be perfect but it had an hour on it since servicing. I’ll post receipts. He’s just randomly hit me up this morning freaking out. I’ll post pics Of the invoices. Everyone calm down. Idk what this guys problem is. Here is exactly how it was posted and sold. He talked to jake at FC before I sold it too him. He knew what he was buying.

If there was no bubble wrap or protection around the forks in the box that they were packed in, then the damage to the lower sliders probably happened during shipping from them banging against each other.

Wonder if the buyer filed an insurance claim with the shipping company if the contents were all damaged? Surely you dont buy suspension without paying extra...

Hmm? Seems this thread turned about 180 degree's from where I thought it was going. From what I have seen and read , was that Patsy bought a pretty well used set of A-kit , for a pretty cheap price and Cody even had them serviced " before " he sent them out. And Jake up here at FC knows his shit extremely well , and if he said that stuff was ok.....then that is all I need to know.

2 questions :

1.) How could you buy a set of A-kit , let it sit for 4 months , have a seal leak and then complain?

2.) Why would Jake at FC here , have a completely different point of view on that suspension from 4 months ago , compared to what the other FC shop is seeing now?

They seemed to of been in good shape 4 months ago , but now they are trashed? I smell some bullshit going on.

So it sat for 4 months because i live in NJ and was just able to finally ride with the weather so there was no ride time on them until recently.

When i called FC directed by cody prior to pruchase. I had asked if the stuff was in good condition, if he had it serviced recently and was told yes and it was in good condition. Nothing was mentioned to me from cody nor FC that there were blemishes/scratches/scuffs in the coating on the lower fork tubes and that the coating on the shock was completely worn, and everyone is forgetting i got a set of clamps that are completely unusable without the right parts for the right bike.

So everyone is bashing on me here but what really happened is i got the suspension, hit cody up and told him the lowers were hammered, he didn’t answer, i deal with it and put the stuff on my bike to find out the stem on the clamp is incorrect or needs other hardware not provided bu the seller, after installing it i test rode ONE HOUR, the rear feels soft and there is a slight leak in the forks so i send them to FC to get them fixed and deal with it. When i found out i would need a new set if lower tubes at $900 per tube plus install and also new coating on my shock my jaw dropped and i then created this thread. Up until i found out i had to spend an additional 2k+ in parts i was going to pay for the revalve and freshup, chalk it the fuck up and deal with it but instead i figured id let everyone here know what im dealing with since the price of this suspension doubled. Instead i get bashed lol this is a good community.
