In September, motorcyclespareparts.eu had a 10% discount sale, and as the fuel tank on my rolling-restoration Fazer is in a pretty sorry state, I decided this was a good time to splash out on a new one. I ordered it through their website, and in due course they confirmed that it had arrived and was on-route to me via DHL. It arrived a couple of weeks ago, but when I unpacked it I discovered that at some point on its journey from Athens (apparently) to me via Germany it had been dropped or hit and sustained a dent in the top right corner. Ar$e
. I phoned MSP, and then emailed a couple of photos of the damage and they said, "No problem, send it back and we'll order you another one." So I sent it back (at their cost, naturally) and waited, although they'd already told me that there were no more available in Europe, so it'd have to come from Japan
.
Unfortunately MSP have now informed me that there aren't any available in Japan either.
The fairly happy ending is that I've been able to negotiate a decent price for the damaged one with MSP, and they're now sending it back to me again.
So, kudos to MSP for doing their best to sort this out, and always being quick to respond. But
to the careless courier who managed to put a dent in what appears to be possibly the last brand-new FZS600 fuel tank on the planet .
