Anybody know what's going on there? I've tried both their 800 number AND their tech number, and I can only get a recording. There is NO space in their voice mail box! I noticed a charge on my VISA card for them on July 3rd and I have NO orders with them. There's also no email contact on their website. Doesn't sound like a good place for customer service! Gord

What IS up with Dual-Star? This topic seems to come up monthly??? Someone recently said they were going to stop by there - I seem to recall they did and were just told that 'they were busy' and trying to get stuff out as fast as they can. Though it seems if you are that busy you could afford to hire some help to at least answer the phone... -- Jim Priest - central NC - 04 KLR650 'Gonzo' Checkout the KLR Resource List and Master Tool List http://www.thecrumb.com/wiki/KLR650_resources http://www.thecrumb.com/wiki/Master_tool_list

i got the same run around from DUAL STAR with an order; nobody answering the phone, and when i was able to leave a message(several) they were obviously too busy to return my calls. this went on for 3 months. twice in that time period i actually spoke with someone, and both times they were "cutting the steel" for my back-ordered items and they "should be available" in about 6 more weeks. zero customer service. i've found that there's plenty of other sources for klr parts, and their knowledgable staff WILL answer the phone. you see what i'm saying here??

It's too bad they've gone down the crapper. They used to be "the" source for Dual Sport/Adventure gear in the early years of the DS resurgence. If you can't/won't/refuse to deal with Fred at Arrowhead and his great service... there are many other choices as well these days. I avoid Dual Star completely now. West____

Here are a couple pictures of our "worksite", the pencil pieces and the plug hole. That hole is very deep. If you can't open them and would like to see I can send them from another browser. _________________________________________________________________ http://newlivehotmail.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
