That really sucks.
thanks man-i'll eat the cost to fix my radiator-im not really money hungry--its just the situation really pissed me off earlier. leaking radiators are a big pet peeve of mine and the LAST thing I expected was that the addition of this support would cause this.

i know that many guys have these braces on their bikes and they work fine, but I'd think more than twice with these guys in regards to quality of workmanship and especially service. Expect all blame to be put on you, as soon as you send them your money for their product.

Is this the hole? If not put an arrow to where your talking about. Alot of us on here would like to see where the actual hole is. Photoshop a circle around it.

Our industry needs productive parts Such as the dc radiator braces, c4 rearsets, hohey brackets, etc etc ...not squidly adjustable bars and titanium. Train tracks r whack! :2cent

Re: Damage control phone number?

That's an odd place to have a hole from the support. do you think you might have kicked up a rock or something?

no i didn't even get the support onto the bike. the lower tab of the support punctured the rad when i was trying to line up the holes on the top.

Thank You. Ok now everybody can see you hit your fins by accident when you installed it. The radiator DIDNT do it (unless you care to explain how that happened?). You did this mistake. Case closed.

I understand people wanting to look out for other riders and so forth but there has to be an equal amount of people sticking up for a company as well. Just explain how the support made that pin hole....

Another quick comment I have is the DCP shows all the positive comments from veteran riders as well as amatuers.

So it was a defective part or wrong model seems like. If I send you a Freestyle Ingenuity cage for an F4i will you try to make it work on your 636? Dude, I guarantee you send it back to DCP and they will refund your money.

Re: Damage control phone number?

my buddy had a similar problem on his 636... he was worried that it was going to puncture his as well... but his biggest problem was that it wouldnt line up or mount right... ill have to check and see what he did to fix it cause i know he has it on the bike now.

I can llink it for you if you want. I just went through this last night.....

Furthermore, I have been off this site for a couple of years so I don't really know OMR, but from what I've seen him post over the past few weeks. He seems to be right on with all his advice....

More then right on hes' ggggrrreeeaaattt

It's going back into the box with all of the original packaging and I'll pay to ship it back tomorrow morning. Are you just a friend or is this the guy I talked to today? Just wondering.

man see this is what im talking about....thanks for posting this up man-I knew I wasn't the only one out there. If you got a problem with a part, speak up! Inform us! Of course its going to **** vendors and friends of vendors off, but how are we going to help improve the design without critical thinkers and solid reviews? Like I said earlier, Its not about the 75 dollars. Its the design flaw and poor service.

The one thing positive about this radiator cage, was the fast shipping. It arrived at my doorstep in 3 days which is phenomenal so kudos for that but my opinion still holds negative for design and service.

I do the website. Im a friend of Jay. If there is a design flaw he will address it. Im not sure how your conversation went I heard bits and pieces of both parties. He is a legit guy, but I have first hand already seen people take advantage of new businesses and its probably what caused this whole fiasco. For crying out loud his first support was designed around the 636. The only thing I can guess is it was a fluke fabrication on that support.

And I agree to the whole lets hear good and bad, because thats the only way a business can learn and grow.

Re: Damage control phone number?

i tried to put it on while the raditor was still on the bike and the holes didnt match up at all the bottom would come up when i would try to get the right side. its like i put one side on and it wouldnt go out any further to match up to go on the other side and the bottom kept popping up. so i figure when i get a chance i would take it off and see if it all matches up from there. but that does suck and gl wit everything. i'll give my results in about a week. i had the cage for a couple of months now but really havent had a chance to throw it on besides that chance dont feel like draining everything just yet its almost winter here.
