• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Ok same song and dance. I too got an email on the 7th saying my guess will ship tomorrow.
Nov 10 bought guard
Nov 28 email regarding the status
Dec 7 recieved a reply that it was shipping tomorrow
Dec 16th still no guard.

This is has happened 3 times to me now. Pipe guard for my wr300, skid plate for my wr300, pipe guard for 450smr. Come on Eric. Please hire more people or something. P3 makes the best carbon products hands down. And making carbon/Kevlar is very difficult. however something needs to change. I know p3 carries no inventory and that's a smart move, but put something on your website that saying that I could take x amount of time to build. And what really gets me is don't lie. If your gonna ship it on said date do so. Don't send emails to get customers off your back.

Eric your products speak for themselves, which explains why your so busy. But this order will be my last.

Ditto

13 Nov paid for guard
5 Dec - finally a response after multiple phone calls and emails, only because raised a dispute through Paypal. Told he would ship the item on 7 December and asked that I close the dispute, which in good faith I did.

As of 21 December have heard nothing back. I don't care how good his products are supposed to be - not worth it.
 
Yeah did it look like this? Your right it's not worth it.
Never again. and I'm not one to get my panties In a bunch but this is the third time! And not only me as it seems.

I ended up cancelling my order and getting a refund - figure that's about the best outcome I could hope for at this stage - even then it was hard to get a response.....
 
Hope that iPhone got charged, lol.

I ordered a pipe guard several weeks ago, let's see if anything improves. Will report back.

Hey schoops how did you cancel your order when he shipped it out on the 7th?

He "said" it was going to be shipped on the 7th and that he would email me the tracking details. Come 21 Dec I'd still not heard anything. Obviously it had not been sent and I asked to cancel the order.
 
Well got an email today with a tracking number. Also he tossed in the silencer guard. He apologized for everything. The free guard says alot. I guess shit happens and he made it right. I will continue to do business with Eric and promote his products. I also noticed he put a banner on the website with a warning of possiable long wait time.

That's a good outcome for you!
 
Guard showed up today. Looks like fiberglass with a carbon layer on the outside. Kevlar is bright yellow and hard to mistake it. I could be wrong but doesn't it say carbon/Kevlar?Thoughts am I over reacting? If I buy a carbon Kevlar guard I expect just that. Not a carbon fiberglass

regardless of his quality, if the produc t isn't what is is advertised, ie; makeup of materials, he should be called on it, regardless of free stuff he sent. and the 4 month long delay, piss poor business ethics.. get somebody to do a e-mail and let the paying customer know what is going on, especially if they have prepaid for it. No F*@&ing excuses on that. don't feel bad for calling him on this stuff. You wouldn't put up with that from an auto dealer, this is no different, customers should be respected, not played like chumps.....
 
I have seen Kevlar in yellow, tan, black, lime gren, and red...yes Red. Most common is the light yellow though. I have sen P3 products shot real close with a .22 and it did not go through which it would if mereley fiberglass covered with 1 layer of carbon fiber.
 
That might be the case. However you can clearly see that is one layer if carbon and not even all the way to the edge. I can't speak for the guard you saw shot, but I can tell you this is fiberglass. I don't claim to be sone composite expert but as you can see I do some work. I have never seen Kevlar in any other color. I Woukd be interested to see that. Since dupont is the sole manufacture of Kevlar. Now I have seen carbon fiber hybrid cloths in colors. They even make black fiberglass now that looks very very similar to carbon. But it's easy to tell a difference. And even Kevlar came in different colors like you stated yellow is the most common. therefore making it the cheapest. So if that's the case why use other colors. Afterall it is a guard afterall. This is easily figure out. I'll take the paint off the back. Or cut it up and take ut apart layer by layer.
I can't speak for other guards but this one is fiberglass with a layer of carbon. I posted it to get to get opinions on how to approach the situation. I'm done with this. Like I said I will use the p3 guard as a mold and make my own.
