Subject: fracture due to vibration III
I am picking up on the vibrational fracture thread which I started
a few days ago.
I just met the mechanic of our research institute whom I consider
an expert in welding. He strongly recommends NOT to weld near the
frame. Since I need to replace the mounting points for the engine
protector somehow, even if I decide to buy different crash bars,
there is no simple solution to the problem.
I decided to try to contact HONDA DEUTSCHLAND about it since I don't
trust my local dealer. I had a look at thier WWW-site.
IT'S A LAUGH!!!
Has anybody tried that? It's unbelievable. Only PR-junk. No decent
information, no contact point, no e-mail. A search menue with no
free keyword search and a feedback page with no place to put a free
comment. Just choice buttons. In a word: it is completely useless.
That's the button I selected.
But the design is really flashy. Nothing on motorcycles of course.
Has anybody contacted Honda in whatever matter and had positiv
experiences? Should I care for writing a (snail mail) letter?
(By the way, I own a Fiat Camper. Fiat reacts promptly when contacted
via e-mail)
