Default ACCESSORIES!

Hello 954 family, i have a problem and i need a lil feedback. I have bought several accessories in the last year for my bike. And as I have been adding carbon fiber pieces, I found footpegs for the front and rear. Now the dilemma, the footpegs looked fine, and installed without problem. But today while riding I had the right peg break off totally and I mean TOTALLY! (as in it didn't crack, it was made as two pieces but didn't break apart, the whole damn think broke off) As I almost went over trying to look down and feel for it, only thing left was the pin that goes through it, and even the spring was still on it. Now, do I send a harsh email to the company I bought them from, or was it my fault for thinking they would hold up. But as I think about it, it pisses me off cause I could've been doing a wheelie and come down to a harsh problem. Let me know what yall think. Thanks in advance

Personally i would take a picture to send them, and calmly/politely make them aware of your dissatisfaction. Its my personal experience that yelling, swearing, and anger does not get you nearly as far. Now i dont blame ya for being pissed, heck i would be too, but screaming at them will prolly get you nowhere. I also doubt it was your fault.

Not to be a dick, but how much use do you expect to get out of a $9.00 set of pegs? Would you run a marathon in a set of payless shoes? Ibelieve that you get what you pay for. Just my take on it.

I have to side with both Doog and Tk, yeah its a cheap set but at the same time there is a huge demand for aftermarket parts for the new generation of sport bike riders....higher demand=cheaper prices

Thanks for the responses, i did not curse once in the email i sent the store. and i didn't say i expected them to be stronger than superman. i just did not expect for it to break the first day.
