Lafayette PowerSports is not ordering my recall part. Been since April 22nd that I first contacted them about it. A month and a half later, I went in person, and they never ordered it. They said they'll order it and should be here by 4 days. Waited a week, called them, rep told me they can't check and have to wait for the manager to get back and they'll call me.
