Default Tag Metals Warning

I recently Purchased a Tag Metals Bumper for my Shee from Temecula Motorsports When in arrived I could already tell something was wrong when I layed it down and it wouldnt sit level. The bumper top reinforcement brackets were bent inwards and the lower tubes didnt line up. I called Temecula and they gave me the run around about my frame being bent and if I was sure my Banshee wasnt the problem, after trying it on 3 other Banshee's I said It wasnt even close on either.
I sent the bumper back on the 18th of October Temec called me back and asked me what was wrong with the bumper even though I left a note with the problem taped to the bumper... He asked me if the Atv's frame was bent, I told him no he sent the bumper back and told me a new one was being -->shipped<--. Well 2 weeks later Still no bumper I call back get put on hold for 4 minutes some dick picks up asks me my name and number tells me to hold again 5 minutes pass he says he'll call me back while he finds out the problem. 50 minutes later I get called back and the bumper wasnt shipped out yet.
Reason behind the bumper was Tag has a Defect in all their bumpers for the Yamaha Banshee and they have no time when the problem will be adressed.Guess all I'm trying to say is don't buy a Tag Bumper for your shee for awhile till the problem is repaired. I rode without a bumper for 7 weeks.

I bought a Tag bumper for my shee about 2 years ago, and it won't line up with all 4 holes either. So, I put in on using just the top 2 holes until I find the time to mess around with it some more. I'll probably just end up drilling the problem hole out so I can get all the bolts to line up.......

Front Bumper rusts and dents and scratches easy as hell and to top it off it's uglier than Rosey O'Donald and Rosan Arnold combined.

I think they look best without a bumper, just my opinion.

I have never seen a aluminum one personally that fit correctly or easily. My Duncan one on my R is the only one I have had that fit correctly.
