if they cared about customer service, they should get this straightened up pretty quick. the welds look crappy for sure. but you do take stunting into your own hands. least they could do is refund or replace it. as far as your frame goes. just going to have to brace it. we've all bent our subframes from crashes. keep us up to date on this one.

Its says instructions which he didnt get and the problem could have been that you didnt have it positioned right were the skid plate met the road directly causing the frame to bend tring to get it to contact directly.

Looks like your screwed. From what all these posts indicate, go w/sbf bar. Also, whoever responded from midwest stunters, didnt sound to outoing about getting you a refund, just said in many words "tuff"

It's true that you take the risk of damaging your bike when you stunt, so I always take it as just part of the game. But, damn, that is by far some of the worst welding I have ever seen! And that's pretty bad when you can see that in a small picture! I've seen better welds out of a newbie than that! I'm on your side man, they should give you a refund, not just because it broke your frame, but just because of overall poor quality.

I hope they refund it for you... It sounds to me they're trying to make good. It was just maybe a defective item, all companies and products have problems once in a while. I'm sure SBFreaks put a bad bar out once or twice too by accident. I don't even have my fiddy anymore, nor did I have a 12' bar, so I don't have a comparison or opinion on either company. I am getting another soon though and would buy from them, cuz judging from their vids they beat the hell outta their fiddies. I'm sure they can do good work with all the crazy sh*t that they can do. Just gotta plan it all out. If you beat it, plan ahead. Honda didn't plan on extending the frame so a 100+ pound rider can jump and hang all their weight off the back. We all do damage to our bikes stuntin, it's part of the game. The bikes take a beating. It sucks, I'm not denying that. I'm just saying sh*t happens and it was "special equipment". You (or someone else) mounted it, not even the company. Your lucky he's offering you your money back. I hope you have better luck and I'm sorry hearing about your frame. Now go get that b*tch welded and reinforced, then hop back on.

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU COME ON THIS BOARD BITCHING ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK WHEN YOU HAVEN'T EVEN CALLED OR EMAILED THEM YET???
If you made a spectacle out of this like you have here I'd **** on you before I gave you a refund.
If you have a problem go directly to the source.

I hate it when people think that they can use the net to bash people without asking that person about the problem first!!!!
