$260.00 dollars

Bud - add to that the solo cowl you made looks (in my honest opinion, having one on my GS right now  ) the business.  NO hump style, SOLID clicking fastener - perfect fit, and delivered quicksmart.



Also, meant to add above - in case there was any confusion, I am no longer in need of a cowl from you guys at Cowltech...I now have one. 

hey, where did you get your cowl and how much did you pay for it?

From me.
if you search you will see pics of it.

Yeah, you really need to give these gents their money back- sorry you had personal problems but going weeks on end with no contact is no way to run a business. You couldn't have someone put up a post for you that you were jacked up and would be out of commission for a bit? Too much time has passed, and the run-around was way too crappy for anyone to take you at your word at this point. You could start building some respect back if you pay the people who got hosed their money back if they want it. I think that would say a lot. Anyway- your operation really  seems like amateur hour to me and I would never do business with you based on all I have read so far. Too many scammers on the internet, and right now you look like a pretty arrogant bastard coming back in here while you are still holding the cash of people who have had to file complaints with police, state's attorney's offices, and the Better Business Bureau. Give them back their cash dude.

The only way you could even begin to try to redeem yourself would be to refund all the money that you were given, and give these people the product you promised. Because at this point all you've done is put people out, and do a lot of talking.  I think it's time you put yourself out a little, and shut up and let your product speak for itself. If it's that great, and people on this site finally get some they can tell us about, you may have a shot. Anything short of that, you wont get any more business, and you might as well find another group of people to work over.

Hi everyone,

This is Rich your contact from day one.  I have not gotten a chance to read through the posts that I have missed, but I have heard that there have been issues with people getting their orders and contacting us.  I want to be completely honest with everyone on this forum and let them know that those who tried to contact us, or who wanted their cowls painted were not be ignored, nor screwed.  I am the only one in the company who has been the contact to this forum and it's members.  I also own the paint and body shop, and handle those cowls once they get here (which is the location in Texas).

The reason that contact was scarce both by telephone and e-mail, is because I wound up in the hospital.  I wound up getting assaulted from behind from a drunk individual who tried to show off to my ex-gf, who was with me while tailgating before a game.  I wound up hitting the tailbed of a truck, and then the cement.  The kid ran away right after and my ex wound up getting me to our local hospital, where the catscan showed interior bleeding on my brain.  So they stuck me on a CareFlite to get me to a hospital with ICU/Trauma.  Long story short for everyone, I wound up with subdural hematomas of the brain on both temporal areas; contusion to right temporal; linear fracture of the right temporal area; fractures of the left supraorbital infraorbital, zygoma, maxillary sinus, malar bone and mandible.  After surgery my blood pressure increased greatly to anywhere from 150-170 over 105-120.  I wound up having my jaw wired shut for a month and a half now, just had surgery this past thursday to remove it.  Plastic surgery to input a metal plate for my whole cheek, and surgery for a drainage tube.  I was stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks, and am told that full recovery of my head will take another 4-6 months according to my last catscan.  Not being allowed to drive around, having appointments and surgeries, and what broke my heart...not being able to ride my personal bike in the beautiful weather I was missing out on.

It is because of this reason that I did not have my cell phone for quite a few days, which was dead when I did finally receive it, my ex had one family members phone number in her phone that she called.  Tim was not aware of the situation until my ex went and bought a phone charger for my phone, and she was able to contact him and inform him of the situation.  Until this time calls went thru to the paint and body shop, since that was not opened your calls were not answered (which I apologize for), after that, they were rerouted to our central office in california so that your questions could be answered.  Even thou the phone calls were then taken care of, the paint was not, which once again is on me.  We attempted to have a painted work on those that needed to be out, until our shop was able to handle it again, but those guys did not properly color match, so those are being redone by my shop now.  And will be completed and painted for those who have patiently waited, and for any other products that are wanted from us when they are produced, we are going to give at generous discount cost as a thank you.

I would like to greatly apologize on behalf of CowlTech.com.  I am only one person, and nowhere near the entirety of the company, but since we started to try to offer a service to paint these cowls at the cost we offered, just to help keep your costs down so you wouldn't have to pay more elsewhere, we had to create separate divisions in order to make sure everything happened in a timely matter.  I hope that the dedication I tried to show to this forum and it's members with my constant devotion to help achieve the goal of producing the type of products that you all designed for your bikes.  I am basically stuck around a computer for the most part until everything is healed, so I can answer questions and give order information as well.

Sincerely,

Rich

For everyone's enjoyment, CowlTech is now selling their product on eBay....

I hope this means all these issues were cleared up.

I think no one here want to buy one from them after the way they did the members here in the past but well, good luck with that. 














BTW They still look like a ducks bill

I just wanted to clear things up, everyone who made a purchase from us either received their cowl or got a full refund.  Our cowls are still in production and have been selling since, and we would like to thank all members on this forum for helping create this product.  We have continued our expansion of cowls and have been creating new products for other bikes.  CowlTech.com would like me to extend their apologies for the issues faced during prototyping, but would also like to send their thanks and gratitude for help in achieving another product for the GS500 community.  Good luck to CafeBoy in his endeavor, and if there are any further products needed to be made please let us know.

Thanks again,

I got one of your cowls for free from someone on the board. They gave it away for free because it doesn't fit the bike very well. Great looking cowl but a terrible way to attach it. I painted it, made it look awesome but have yet to get it to attach securely and sit flush, its one or the other. Definitely not worth the money in my honest opinion.
