- To help others do their homework.....Re Sportsters....
- USR tech support is very poor, actually insulting. Customer relations is a
- non-existent term. They seem to treat Courier owners with a little more
- respect. If you have a Sportster and it works (and many do work well),
- that's great. If you need help, good luck, you won't get much from USR.
-
- There's so many other vendors, why bother with USR.
