Most Recent Complaints
I PURCHASED A PUIG AFTERMARKET WINDSCREEN FOR MY XDIAVEL. IT CAME TO ME WITH BOLTS TO REPLACE THE OEM BOLTS THAT HOLD THE HANDLEBARS ON TO THE BIKE. THE BOLTS THAT PUIG SUPPLIES WITH THEIR WINDSCREEN ARE FAR TOO SHORT TO BE SAFE. I NOTIFIED THE SELLER, THEY REFERRED ME TO PUIG HI-TECH OF USA. PUIG TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE RESELLER, WHO REFUSES TO SEND BOLTS, AND I DON'T BLAME THEM. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED, APPROVED, AND THE RESELLER IS NOT AN ENGINEER TO KNOW WHICH BOLTS ARE SAFE. THESE ARE THE BOLTS THAT FASTEN THE HANDLEBARS TO THE MOTORCYCLE! IF THEY FAIL, THE RIDER LOSES ALL STEERING, THROTTLE, BRAKING, EVEN THE ON/OFF CAPABILITY OF THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. FORTUNATELY, I AM AN ENGIINEER, AND SAW RIGHT AWAY THAT THE BOLTS WERE VERY UNSAFE, AND I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I REMOVED THE AFTERMARKET WINDSCREEN AND REINSTALLED THE OEM BOLTS.
