Back Order's (Draganfly Motorcycles)
« on: 10.11. 2017 05:54 »
Hi,
      Has anyone had any experience with repro front mudguards on Back order from Draganfly Motorcycles. I bought a valanced one with raised number plate area for  my plunger project in January this year and am still waiting for it. They are usually very good but this is the first back order I have done.

Cheers,
            Mike  *conf* *????*

Last time i bought a repro mudguard from Draganfly, I was warned that there was a very long lead time on them. Chase them up and see what is happening.

This is likely because of the relatively high cost of making a small batch, or maybe only one. You are probably waiting on them getting further orders.

I have never ever received anything from Draganfly that they told me they had on back order for me. Not ever. And that was (to my mind) all fairy minor componentary.

They are not my first port of call for stuff these days.

Same here, Had things on back order since last April, gave up and went else where.

Twice I had parts on back order and I think I waited about 4-6 weeks. When the new stock arrived in on both occasions Staff at Dragonfly's rang me to see if I still required the parts.   *smiley4*
