Be fair here Brenden. We shipped your missing circlips out by Priority Mail at our first opportunity. The perceived issues with your cylinders were cosmetic and not visible when installed. And you were offered a full refund including return shipping, which you declined.

I feel like you're determined to be unhappy with us. I really wish you'd take us up on our full refund offer. Let's just undo this deal before it gets worse.

I had multiple problems with 2 kits from Hammer. They even removed my detailed build post from the forums to cover their QC problems. I wasn't originally on here to bash them but to show the build process. They kept the post up until it went bad for Hammer. I wish they would have offered me a full refund. Not fun rebuilding your bike several times because of Hammer's poor QC.

Some specific details would be helpful. Who is "they" who deleted your post? Is there more to this story than just some bad parts?

FWIW, almost 3 years since I did my Hammer 1250 kit and no issues at all, a satisfied customer.

Nope, Hammer Performance pulled the thread down. Still have an archived copy before they pulled it. Hammer Performance didn't want to address their poor QC in their own forum. Sad but true.

HawkeyeTX,
Curious, why not take the full refund including shipping?
Hammer Performance is not the only heifer at the party?
Life is too short to be unhappy.
