No!!! I still have not gotten either, my bike or $4,000 back from G&L. It's been roughly 3 1/2 YEARS now. At least 6 other guys have contacted me by email that have also been ripped off by Richard Ford of G&L Choppers. He claims to have since closed his shop and has been working from home but...

Just another update to let everybody know that this is actually STILL going on! We've been waiting for over 3 YEARS now for our bikes from G&L choppers and Richard Ford still refuses to accept our calls. Others have been and still are, waiting much longer. I actually said in my last...

Well, kind of as a last ditch effort, I sent out an email last week to "The Horse" BackStreet Choppers Magazine. They featured G&L back in the July 09' issue... where I first saw them and I asked if they had any recent info regarding the shop. Jordan Z., editor from The Horse, actually...

Well, thanks again for the advice & feedback guys. And Ashaman... thanks a ton for going over there man! I definitely appreciate it. It's pretty cool that there are guys on these forums willing to go out of the way, just to check things out for you. I might actually make the trip out there...

DirtyDog, I might actually be okay with waiting years for a custom bike but not without any contact from the builder or without having some input or control over the build. I'd love to get my money back at this point, Huyner. Not sure the BBB will do anything, I'm just trying to make contact.

Update: I've heard recently from (5) different local, Colorado guys, that the G&L shop isn't even around anymore but actually just got another new message today from somebody else, that claims it's definitely still there, up & running. I'm not sure what to believe but... after 2+ years of...

Well, thanks for bringing it up to him.... I'm hoping SOMEBODY knows something. I heard he actually hired a couple of guys but who knows. How many does it take to return a phone call? Thanks again. I definitely appreciate it.

Kush4life: Well thanks man, I definitely appreciate it. I gave them my bike and the cash to do it because I thought that they did killer work. Just be thankful you never got a hold of them, you might still be waiting... Ashaman: Please do. Any info at all would be great. Like I said, I'd...

Wondering if any of you Colorado guys help out a fellow XS650 member? If you haven't heard already... Richard Ford of "G&L Choppers" operates out of Colorado Springs. He's had my bike (among others) and my $4,000 for well over (2) years now and refuses to answer any calls or emails...

Last message from Rich was back in March, claiming that the build would finally be finished and delivered in May 12'... (2 years later.) Obviously, May has come and gone and I've called a few times & sent a couple more emails but still haven't received another response. I'll post another...

Hey guys, Sorry for my delayed response silver_back and thanks again for posting up your experience. Any word on getting your bike running yet or the replacement parts that you were promised? Sorry to hear about your experience as well Vdubplate. Hopefully you can get your motor issues...

Congratulations, 22 months for me and still waiting...

I'm sure Rich is taking on new orders with the best intentions and if he's having a hard time finding help and can't keep up with demand, he's just got to be up front & honest and let his customers know. I realize he's probably overwhelmed with work because he puts out a nice product and I...

I'm not sure how to respond to all the different posts here but thanks again for all the advice & feedback from everyone, I appreciate it. It's obvious, it's not my intent to hurt anyone's business or ruin anybody's reputation. I'm not "bad-mouthing G&L" or "hiding behind a keyboard" - far...

I'm not sure when you ordered or finally received your forward controls but just the fact that G&L is even taking on new part orders at this point surprises me. I was recently contacted by (3) other guys, all waiting over a year & a half on a complete build from G&L. One of which, claims to...
