My experience with Sean of Morley Muscle: Warming Long Post.
Like the rest of you my first exposure to Sean came from reading other people praising him on the forum. Seemed like every other post from a new member who was looking for a special piece or item got directed to him, usually with the post ending with "...and He is a great guy to do business with too!" So when I first started thinking about upgrading it made sense to go with him.
We exchanged emails and he seemed happy to let me pick his brain about compatibility of various parts with out pushing hard for a sale. Frankly, I felt guilty for interrupting what I knew had to be a busy man. I didn't actually BUY anything from him till he announced that He had been able to secure Carrozzeria rims for the vmax. Something about those rims, just had ho have them. A few days later I talked myself into getting the extended swing arm. Then my amazing skills of reasoning suggested to me that since I had the room now, I should get the extended gas tank too. So I fired off another email. To make a long story somewhat shorter, I soon had the rims, swing arm, gas tank, windowed cases, grips, and hyabusa brakes, stainless steel hoses, handle bars, jet kit, and what else I don't even know headed my direction. Some might say I lack impulse control.
This is where the story gets crazy. I live in Alaska, so nothing that gets shipped here gets shipped cheap. Originally, I was set to have it delivered to my place of work, but the USPS couldn't find Mile 22.5 Spur Hwy, despite past performances. After a few extra weeks I got a call from Sean saying the address/items were undeliverable. So they went into the mail again. When I did infact get them the packaging truly looked like it had been through hell. I sent a video to Sean of what I had and asked if I was missing anything(I was). HE REPLACED the items the USPS lost free of charge!!
Right after the new year, I decided to go with USD forks. So once again I called Sean. After some quick goat thinking it was decided to go with a 'busa fork. This, I thought would save me having to get adapters for the brakes I have currently. 'Hey,' says I, 'that will save me some money and time!' Oh how wrong was I! Having placed my order and been informed it would likely be 2-3 months before delivery, I promptly tore my forks off. For future reference, don't never ever pull something off you don't have the replacement on hand for, I knew that but it was January and I live in Alaska and I can't really ride till late April anyway and since I had a buyer for the old forks... After six months of waiting I was we'll and truly steamed. I let Sean know. With out going to far into it I am convinced he wasn't the root cause of the delay. Having been mollified, I mentioned i had decided to upgrade the clutch/front masters - next week they showed up in the mail. When I asked how much I owed Him I got a rather short response, "I already have too much off your money." Color me stunned.
I am expecting his hybrid exhaust any time. If you had ever told me I would 'pulling' for a supplier/dealer, or feel as good about the man behind the service while still not having received products payed for and originally expected months and months ago, I would have asked where you got the good crack. No my experience with Sean hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows but I am certain in my believe that Sean won't rest till it is.
