Looks to me like you two are on a mission against FosterRad... stories above sound very fishy to me...

I bought multiple Laser exhausts from Robert (+misc parts that he shipped to me for free, just to support his customer) and FosterRad always followed through and I never had an issue.

One problem is that they work with Laser, which is located in the UK and give Robert a ton of mis/wrong-information on orders/shipments...

That must be what it is,thanks for the tip.Twenty three years of turning a wrench for a living has not taught me how to install an exhaust pipe that only fits one way.

I heard something similar on an FZ6 forum this morning... the dude got his money back though, but apparently something is up with Fosterrad... hope things work out for you guys.

Default Well?

It is a tough place for me to be in.I have an exhaust that does not fit and a tig welder sitting next to it. I reversed the charges on my card so it is not mine but I am stuck with it.Do I cut it to make it fit and have to return it and have them say i damaged it? I am out 800 dollars and a box of parts on my garage floor.Afraid to do anything with it because I need to return it.I am just stuck.Robert Foster said he would send a new system and a UPS call tag for this sytem....just send a call tag.....I am done......it is yours.....please take it from me and we are even....lesson learned.

Default Payment

It was paid for on 07/16/09........it is 10/22/09......in a box on my garage floor.What would you do?Really? I am just shy of paying the shipping and insurance to ship it back and just be done with this.I am well within my rights to bad mouth these people to let others know not to deal with them.I posted the letter that was sent to my bank is in this link...2002 VFR800 LASER X-treme Exhaust system - Page 2 - VFRworld
I have nothing to hide and no shame.I just refuse to be done over in this fashion and take it with no backlash to those that have done me wrong.

I have posted in both forum's.....defend yourself.....bring a defense to the table.....your letter sounded good.....I have submitted my e-mails and phone records ......it really does look like I am a stalker when you look at them.....23 e-mails and phone calls in less than a month and and you people have the balls to say I was ws not in contact with you.2002 VFR800 LASER X-treme Exhaust system - Page 2 - VFRworld
I have never spoken with the person that wrote the letter to my bank, but he may want to check Robert Fosters medication before he pens off another letter to a credit card despute. Just to save a little face.SEND A CALL TAG FOR YOUR JUNK!I DO NOT WANT IT!

some dude in the BMW forums found his address:

Robert Foster
21106 75th Ave #5B
Oakland Gardens, NY 11364
(718) 468-4680

Is he running his business out of his apartment or something?!?!

BTW CUTTER, that reply letter that FosterRad wrote is very similar to a letter they wrote another BMW forum member when he argued the charges with his credit card company about a similar deal gone wrong with FosterRad about a RapidBike product!

If you do get to visit/talk to him, tell him I said hi and to stick it up his arse!
