Someofallparts screwed me.....

I got screwed by "someofallparts"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New chain for my '88 Hawk.......520 conversion

First they sent the wrong chain, now today i'm changing out the whole setup and the Vortex rear sprocket they sent me won't go on the rear hub because the bolt holes are too small.......

what's the matter with those jerks??

can ANYONE tell me where to buy a steel 46 or 47 tooth rear sprocket for my Hawk with 520 chain???????????

Can you drill the bolt holes larger? Perhap a local machine shop can help you out.

it turns out that VORTEX made the sprocket wrong.....

i sent Vortex back their sprocket along with the original Honda sprocket i removed from the Hawk, and they are going to discuss it with their "engineer".....

Hmm, seems to me, unless sumofallparts makes the sprockets, that it was not sumofallparts fault.

Thanks for the update squirrelman.
