Buyer Beware/Trac Dynamics
Long story short I sent a bank check to this Calif. shop for a swing arm for my 01 Lowrider. The check was cashed 8/20 and an agreement for a 3 week turnaround. Still have no swingarm and they don't answer they're phones or return emails. A message claims they're moving but does not give a new location. It looks like they're having a fire sale on their website. Looks like I'm going to get corn holed for $1,100.00 I have everything documented

2 months after cashing my check I still have no part or no refund. I have the California Dept of Consumer Affairs, the BBB and the NY Attorney Generals office involved. TracDynamics are con artists plain and simple.

Thats why I use CC on all mail orders. No parts, rescind payment to them.

You are absolutly right and I should have known better. Like a fool I took them for their word. Let this be a lesson to everyone out there.

After being told for the 5th time my swingarm was shipped out this week I checked with Fedex to see if that was the case. Nothing was shipped. These guys call themselves bikers. Who can afford to be robbed these days?

Gypsy,
I was wondering if you got the swingarm yet (I hope so)? It really sucks when you get cornholed, Also $1100.00 worth of it. Iam asking because i was thinking about getting one for my 04 Dyna. Good luck...

I got it several weeks ago. Thanks to Sandy I was just able to get my bike down to my brothers shop (Rosa's Cycles) last week. It was shipped there so that was the first chance I got to see it. I was waiting to see how everything fit before I posted. I haven't spoken to my brother all week so I don't know how it's going. I can tell you this much, it looks great. Everyone was impressed who saw it. Very very professional piece. I paid to have it powder coated and it wasn't. I'll just eat it and have it done here. I'll post once it's on the bike

Glad you finally got it. I'll make sure not to use them.

Rendell I wouldn't go that far. My mistake was not using a credit card. Their work is impeccable. If you need a swingarm I'd call them, make sure they're still up and running and just don't count on a return date.

Final Chapter
I was unable to install the swingarm on the bike until I got it powder coated. I had already paid TD $300.00 to powder coat it but it was shipped in raw aluminium. I gave them an opportunity to refund that amount to me but the creeps never even answered my email. Lesson learned.
