perhaps in the future you will first check to see if you can use a company's product before you buy it and later smear their name on the internet when you can't. I think this an issue between the you and the dealer you bought it from, he should have known, you should have asked but it seemed that in your trying to save money and the dealer's trying to make money you both overlooked an important aspect of owning a powercord (plugging it in). I however do agree that the man in question should not being treating his customers this way. However I'm pretty sure it was not him who shipped you a cord you can not use but all is well now you've shamed him into fixing your problem. Lastly I saw your concern w/ the cord and insurance problems. In the U.S. we have a standard also but many aftermarket cords for one reason or another do not meet it, you may want to check w/ someone and see if the cord is approved by your country's standards so that you will not run into any problems in the unfortunate event that you need to file a claim, mike
UNBELEIVABLY BAD SERVICE - ELECTRAGLIDE
I have just bought an Electraglide Fatman 2000 Gold. It is standard terminated with a 20 amp US wallplug. As I live in Norway, we operate on 240 volt. I have tried to find a receptable with the same pin configuration as the US 20 amp receptable which handles 240V with no luck. So I turned to Scott Hall from Electraglide for help. First he suggested that I use a standard 20 amp 120V US wall receptable. I called a local electrician to have him install it. He wouldn`t do it because it was only rated 120V and he also told me that me home insurance will not cover damages if I used this receptable. I checked this out and it turned out to be correct. I turned to Scott Hall again, told him what my electrician had said and asked him if he knew any receptables which would do or if he could reterminate the cord. The answer I got from him was this:
"Just put the Damn 20 amp us receptacle in!!!!!!!!How much more blunt can I be do it yourself!!!!!!Scott"
This means I probably will not be able to use the Fatman cord I bought. I think companies selling products at this pricelevel which provides such lousy service not to deserve to be in business. Therefor I want to warn you about Electraglide and also encourage you to stay away from them as I will.
