Man I'm getting jelly at all these EXB but of threads. HH screwed up my pre-order again for the second time it seems so my EXB isn't coming yet, waiting for them to get back to me... Again ?

@suchtragedy dude that’s lame. Try hitting up some local shops. You may get lucky. I’ve been in 2 now that had some unspoken ones.

Yeah I am probably going to have to hunt haha, local shops means driving 2-3 hours for me though but we shall see. They haven't replied to either of my 2 trouble tickets (6 days since the first submitted, 3 days since the second) so I am currently on hold trying to phone them to get to the bottom of this. If they give me bad news I'm going to have to cancel the pre-order and hit the pavement to find one.

@suchtragedy man that sucks. I just put in a tkt today so we shall see. I don’t think @jondilly1974 had good luck with trying to get it early either. Hopefully you can find something.

No but it will rub the body just a touch. I think I’m going to put a piece of gorilla tape on the inside of the body to keep the paint safe.
