Yeah seems to be that was some bad blood between him and Jeff Moore from Dead One Customs. And of course Barnes had his click on here and Jeff had his group of followers and there was a lot of name calling and stuff like that.

Personally years ago when I joined this forum I actually hit it off with Jeff had no issues with Barnes either. Bought stuff from both businesses. Recently on FB someone asked about Barnes and I gave my personal opinion on my thoughts based on what services and parts he offered. And Jeff called me an idiot and cussed me and asked me if I was drinking the cool-aid and tried to publicly humiliate me. Now on this forum Jeff only knew me as mastiff rider64. On FB my real name is shown. Jeff didn't know me or my real name. But I explained to him who I was on here and told him that based on his commits toward me and trying to publicly humiliate a customer that he could rest assured I'd never buy or support his buisness ever again. I can say this tho, Andrew has never did that to me. So....you can use either or both for your bigdog needs. This was just my experience with Jeff.

As far as Barnes, I've bought some upgrade parts, ez pull ball and ramp, and just different things for him. Fair price on it all, good shipping and I've talked to him on a few transmission issues or other things. Always been friendly (sometimes a little in a rush) he is a one man show at his shop. But overall seems like a decent guy. Have recently read some FB stuff about delayed shipment and things like that but not sure if ppl realize his shop is in NY and they been hit time and time with snow storms. But anyway there is my thought on Barners and a little of the Barnes verses Jeff thing and my personal experience with both.

I simply ask because from my recent experience its been terrible. Purchased a wire harness in May of last year (2025) and have been getting getting the run around or lack of communication since. I always give folks the benefit of doubt and all I ask in return is updates. Never got that at all. Now, 9 months later after trying to call and sending emails all I got was more excuses. He never wouod answer his phone or call me back. Then his last response to me in email he told me o file a claim with my credit card company. I have never given him the reason to do that to me, as I never once demanded anything. All I ever asked for was to be given updates on progress. Very frustrating since i paid him $1k for a harness.

Basically want to save others the headache.

Your not the first and sure not the last. I have had several people i know share the same experience you did. I hate this happened to you.

I worked on a customers bike last year that he had done work too. He did do good work on it. But there was a few things that made me scratch my head little bit but all in all he did a good job...crazy expensive but he did do a nice job.
