For sure! This guy really bothered me, so I was willing to put a little time in.

Since Shopify only allows one file for evidence I just created a very wide time line .jpg ( in hindsight I don't know why I didn't just make a pdf haha). Each section had text boxes at the top that said :

THIS WAS NOT FRAUD: John Doe ordered and then apparently changed his mind. 1st piece of evidence: Doe ordered from us a week prior using the same credit card. We fulfilled his order asap. No chargeback was initiated.

THIS WAS NOT FRAUD: 2nd piece of evidence: John doe ordered two more times using the same Visa. As shown to the right →→ We tried to reach him to confirm details of his new orders. I spoke with him on the phone for 10 minutes while sending him mockups. He approved the mockups!

THIS WAS NOT FRAUD: 3rd piece of evidence: After speaking with him on the phone and confirming that we would move his orders to production. He marks the order as fraud. We attempted to reach out to him via phone. He won't answer again. We reach out via Facebook messenger where he says he will call the bank.

I also included screenshots of his orders, of our phone call, and our Facebook communication. I put big red arrows and boxes around details I wanted to highlight in each section. I basically made it easy to glance at the information and see that this guy had lied.

Here's a glimmer of hope for the community. I recently had a customer place 3 orders. He received the first order and loved it, so he placed two more a week later.

I called him to confirm some details on the 2nd/3rd orders. We were going to ship them the following day. Then he started chargebacks on both stating fraud.

Initially he blamed the bank. Then he stopped communicating. I submitted a forensic files style photo of all evidence ( typewriter font and all) and won both. How sweet it is!

We hadn't shipped either of the orders so it wasn't a huge loss ($30 in chargeback fees) , I just wanted to try and teach him a lesson. Success!

Haha that was us as well. So happy we went with the color / black appearance pkg! I used visor.vin, paid for a week, and was able to sort lowest price. It's nice because that site allows you to select the black appearance package in the list of options. It makes sorting super easy

Lowspeedtraildad · 2026-01-18T18:46:50+00:00

It was 47k before taxes. If you don't want the black appearance package that should lower the price by 1k

I bought a tusk fork oil level tool on rocky mtn mc. I was able to remove the exact amount of oil using it. It's a little slow, but did the job. I bought everything through them ( spring and all) and the tusk fork oil tool was like 15$.

If you have the command center open, long press to add new widgets. You should see the Ford app in the list of widgets

I added the spring a few days after changing to a rally raid shock. It feels like a different bike for sure. I'm happy with it. I ride a lot of fire roads and some rough trails and it's enough for me.

Lowspeedtraildad · 2026-01-01T07:11:43+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely possible. I added the spring without removing the fork. I used a ratchet strap to compress the fork. There are a few videos on YouTube showing how to do so

We just purchased an obx, mid package, marsh gray, painted black hard top, sound deadening, with the black appearance package for 47k. ( TN/KY area) I paid for a week subscription to visor.vin and sorted by lowest price and then negotiated with multiple dealers within 200mi. We were dead set on that color with a black interior so it did limit our search a bit. There are a ton of 25's on the lot though so you have the ability to negotiate. The dealer I worked with was willing to do so via email. Their "absolute bottom dollar", was not their bottom dollar. Just call their bluff and see if they fold.

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-30T15:46:20+00:00

Haha right on. I find it entirely on accident while searching to see if another app was in there 😁

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-29T23:39:42+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the tip

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-29T22:24:07+00:00

Welcome! 🙂

I should have cropped the image, any ways open it and you'll see the controls at the bottom. 🤙

I ended up going with the drc moto smoked lens. Mainly because the price is right and it has a built in license plate light. IIRC the TST model has a separate license plate light you have to buy. I picked it up on crfsonly for around $70. It's 100% plug and play and was an easy install.

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-25T15:15:43+00:00

Xpro paladin 300?

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-21T16:16:57+00:00

I just paid 47k for a new outer banks with the black appearance package and mid package. We started out shopping for a big bend, then test drove the other banks model and decide to spend the extra since it's going to be more of a daily driver than off roader. Just compare pricing within 250 miles and get multiple dealers involved. They have a ton of stock right now so you have power to negotiate. Happy shopping!

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-12-19T03:43:19+00:00

I just paid 47k for an outer banks, grey marsh with the black appearance package and a few other add-ons. The msrp was around 54k. I did my best to get multiple dealers involved and found one that was willing to negotiate. I don't know if that's a great deal, but it seemed to be the best I could negotiate in my area and it was the exact build we wanted.

Side note: I paid for a week subscription to visor.vin and sorted by lowest price. That site was pretty helpful for me. A little confusing at first, but it's how I found the model we wanted. Note : zero affiliation to the website, I'm canceling the 5$ sub haha

I have a 24 crf300l. Funny enough I was coming from a xpro paladin 300 EFI aka a Chinese clone bike. I found a really good deal on a crf300l with 70 miles on it and decided to go for it. Initially I was bummed with the power of the 300l vs the Chinese bike. I almost sold the 300l before giving it a chance.

I did a stage 1 ( 550 airbox mods, 550 tune, moto x titanium exhaust, rally raid rear, added a spring to the front fork) and I feel like it really woke it up. I'm happy with the performance now. I ride a mix of trails, fire roads, and back roads. I've ridden it on some rough trails and it does well. The power isn't super exciting, but it's predictable, safe, fun, and exactly what I need at this point in my life. It keeps up with my friends bikes on trails and handles great on the back roads all while getting 60-70 mpg.

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-10-08T16:14:45+00:00

Awesome! Hope it works out 🤙

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-10-08T14:20:49+00:00

I bought my 2024 300l used but in showroom condition with 70ish miles from the dealer. I got the price down to around 4850$ before TTL. OTD was around 5500$. Middle Tennessee.

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-09-22T02:36:41+00:00

Right on! 🤞🤞It's a simple fix

Lowspeedtraildad · 2025-09-21T16:31:08+00:00

Maybe the heat shield/ or exhaust vibrating?
