Burgard Availability...
« on: September 09, 2016, 12:34:43 pm »
I am well aware of issues people have had dealing with Burgard cycle in the past. This post is in no way going to go in the direction of trying to make up for past issues.

With that being said, I haven't really dealt with Izzy for about 9 years now, mainly because of our focus shifting to the newer 450 Quads and working with different Suspension suppliers.

We however are starting to see the frequent calls and facebook messages for affordable LT250r and Trx250R suspension products.

A quick phone call and Izzy picked up the phone, he has a-arms for LT's in stock ready to go.

Is there still interest in Burgard products, if you do not have to worry about when you will receive them?? Or has that ship already sailed, with a salty after taste left behind??

A few of the past problems people had with Burgard involved them (the customer) calling to see if they had an item in stock, Burgard said they did, customer paid for it,,,, and then never received the product in XX time frame, if ever.

Understand completely...  In the past, we stocked the product here ourselves.  I have no issues doing that again, as long as people aren't burnt completely out on the product from dealing with the company that makes it.

I realize asking this is completely tacky, more often than not, most people say they will buy, but never do. Especially in the Quadracer world...

We ourselves as a company, never had issues with burgard. Always picked up the phone, always shipped product...  We always paid COD though...   Like i said in the first post, I'm not going to cover or make excuses for him. You google burgard and holy $h*t, you'll be reading negative reviews for days.

One of the reasons I bought and was referred to Metaltech was from the bad reviews...Metaltech was awesome to deal with plus their A-Arms use the OEM bearings.

Heard a lot of Burguard shipping the wrong stuff or it not working right then taking a long time to correct it.

Tyler at Metal tech has taken care of more than a few guys on here and everyone seens to be satisified with his product including me.

+ X2 on using OEM BJ's & bearings that give you maxium range of motion/travel w/o binding.

I bought a set for my 250 10 years ago and I had NO problem.
Maybe I was just lucky, but I got mine in a few days from payment.

Does Burgaurd or metal tech offer a arms for the 85' or 86' 250R's?  Mine are nicely painted but I'm always up for aluminum parts.
