I'm on my way home from work and while riding home I usualy go by my budys house since its on the way. There is a slight hump in the road. After going over the hump this is what happened.





That was a Snitz Racing Speed Link... Hopefully they take care of this as I beleive they are a good reputable company...

 

Daaaaamn!

 

teh sux!

 

Just got this back. I will be shipping the link tomorrow.

April 26, 2005 was the purchase date

we do not sell them anymore, but the owner sold the company to another
person in Florida.

If you would, send the broken pcs to

Naarden Speedlinks
950 C Teresa Street
Daytona Beach , FL 32117

386-257-2466

Tell them that Schnitz Racing wanted you to see them, to see if they were
still made the same way.

we will pay for replacements if they still make them, just tell Naarden to
call my cell phone at 260-xxx-xxxx, I know them

Dave

updated pics

 

I just got off the phone with naarden speedlink. They said they have never heard of this failure before and there products are on very high hp drag bikes. He asked if I had over tightened it or under tightened it as both can be bad for the link as under means its floping around and over means that it can stretch and weaken the threded rod. They are also indepently tested in Navada to meet and exceed there specifications. He was more then willing to take the link back and replace it, however the damage done they kinda didnt have interest in. I asked about my undertail atleast and he said to take pictures and email them and he would see what he could do about that. Not sure what exactly that entitled. I think Im kinda screwed on the damaged parts.

 

oo i wanna see what the undertail looks like... good thing you werent going fast sorry for your luck.
