Im sorry guys if ive offended anyone,this was not intentional, as i said previous it was just a glimmer of hope when i googled something and this site came up. Paul seems a decent guy as we have chatted on the phone for over an hour,i thank him for that and im sure most of you are to, as they are on my supermoto site. Im not the type of person to create storys with intent on ruining hard working honest people, but sadly my trust on someone has been abused way beyond what i can afford and tollerate. I would like to thank everyone for there honest opinions, i will be about as this seems to be a good forum unless you consider me as a pain in the R's. My interests are fairly similar to you all on here except im a motorcycle petrol head, ive been riding and racing most of my life, MX,Road race and now supermoto at British level, im no youngster but only at heart and all the while i can trim the young ones in my 40's and not pick up anymore injuries i will carry on.
I am a landscape gardener and construction and ran a successful buisness for 27 years employing many, i sold my company but i still get asked to build MX circuits for open centre and British supermoto and now im working as one of the main persons in a local reputable building firm., so i know all about work standards everything else that goes with it unlike some have said.
Im up for a bit of banter and i have a wicked sense of humour, but i wont take flack from anyone unless its meant as a joke.
I hope i havent bored you all but i wanted to put something about me as you all saw a thread with a newbie spouting, i can put a few picks up of my now sorted ride prob with me about somewhere if anyone wants.

Thanks people for not giving me a hard time

Yea! Pauls one of the good guys, and I don't think anyone objects to a balanced heads up about someone offering goods or services (good or bad).
As for the bike angle, you will find more than a few on here who have more than a passing interest in two wheels
Welcome to the forum by the way

You dont look very hard then do you! and this bling as you say! is one of the highest VDB race spec sxv 550's about, plus i didnt put the pics up for sarky comments,they were put up as im a newbie to this forum so you can see who i am and what i do.
No offence but there wouldnt be any point listing the custom parts on this bike as im sure you wouldnt understand,but your looking at a bike that costs more than your average family car, built with alot of care on appearance, performance and quality

Seems to me like you may have a sound knowledge on motorbikes and motorbike engines. Stick around, you obviously have advice to offer in this and other sections of the forum.....

Welcome Moto, and don't let them get to you! BTW, I hope that you were made aware that your image AND voice was being recorded, AND the fact that it was played back to a third party as stated by another member! VERY NAUGHTY!!

Thankyou people, some friendly people on here !! lol
Ive some knowledge as been racing for a while, do alot of my bike myself, but i do send the bike off for the engine to be gone through as these sxv's are a bit of a pig with their querks and as my specialist know all i thought hes cheap enough to sort it,just incase i miss something as theres nothing more annoying than failing to be on the start line when this sport costs alot for the weekend.If i can help then i will!!i know a fair few people if i cant give an answer.
I may have one for you all as im after greddy turbo gauges, my WRX had 3 gauges but they got stolen so i havent a clue what the gauges would have been,plus i had the nice plastic mould that ran down the drivers window frame/ or door frame.
I dont really want to spend £700 on these items but i will settle for non greddy plus the mould they sit in

yes i would say my cage is a bit rattled. having listened to all the grief that paul had over the phone something is not right. im usually pretty impartial on most things.


all the evidence i have seen and heard so far points towards the fact that MB are not that hot at custom 1 off fabrication. they may well be good at tuning bikes and fitting off the shelf upgrade parts but that's a totally different thing to manufacturing high quality one off bespoke parts.

at the end of the day i don't think anyone on here can stand up and say that inlet manifold they made paul is of an acceptable quality for a professional fabricator.

Not a prob,, thanks for your last post much appreciated.
As for MB Customs good at tuning and fitting custom parts,if that only had been the case, i paid for turbo pistons and corrillo rods and got modified R1 pistons for turbo use and god knows what rods, i supplied new buckets and wiring looms and ecu's for my race bike! the buckets werent fitted, 3 fried looms and 3 ecu's later at £2700 im still left with having to buy another. my engine was meant to be blue printed but head skimmed way past its tollerance and seriously badly ported, crank was meant to be lightened and balenced but theres no sign of this, the stator he fried so i ask it to be re wired to a heavier grade, but this was never done although i was told it was and even the starter gear was in the wrong way round so would never have started, O and i got him to make a bespoke loom as i wanted switchable mapping but he made the loom wrong so it would never had work.
This guy should never be allowed near bikes or cars, My mate took his standard SXV road bike for a new speedo cable to be fitted and it came back with the ecu mapping all wrong!! i think he was looking at his mapping so he could get some idea how to do mine but sodded up my mates bike which cost his alot with MB and another £800 at Corsa Itailiana whom i know to sort the damage out, theres alot more i could say about me or mates but i must have bored everyone now

Yes i have seen that a person on here has had the pleasure of me on Video and listened to my conversation, personally if he had any morals he would have refused!
I am dealing with this as we speak, struggling a bit as ive only my word against MB's although i have proof of payments,thats why i came on here hoping to find a few bodies who have also experienced the same as myself, thanks for letting me know
I was told in an earlier reply to my thread! im hiding behind a made up name! Motomad is my nickname on my SMF forum, SSM UK forum and in the racing world, as the name is on my bike livery with my sponsers, unimportant but felt the need to say!!

I have recently contacted Motomad and have discussed problems that have arisen using Mb Customs. Motomad i a very helpful and sincere person. I would urge anyone who has had similar problems large or small to contact him.
I am totally disgusted with what has happened to Motomad and myslef.
As you have seen i have not slated his firm or put any wild accusations up. This is for two reasons.
1. A picture of his work speaks a thousand words.
2. This is bound to become a legal matter.

If you have googled his name thinking about using him please use someone else. Anyone else.
If that does not persuade you look at his web site visit his premises, a lot of the bikes he has in his pictures, are still at his premises, that tells you a lot. Also on this web site is a picture of a plenum. Look at the standard of it. It looks like a week one year one apprentice Job.
I really wish these post had being around when i chose MB Customs? to carry out work i paid for, i would have either being a lot less trusting or chosen someone better.

So please contact Motomad if you had have any dealings with Mb Customs you never know you might finally get a return or even closure.

i want to tell the readers of this thread just what a low-life malcolm barton of mb customs is. I realise that this is a serious thing to be saying about anyone, but in this instance it is justified and i am able to provide solid proof of everything i am saying to be true. Indeed, that is exactly what i shall be doing because I am taking legal action against him.
As it is, malcolm barton has already been served with two seperate court summonses by two different people. Mine will make it three, and he is facing further legal action in addition to these on other matters.
malcolm barton is a criminal: he defrauded me out of money by charging me for repairs that he did not carry out.
i was initially unaware that he had done this and i returned my bike to him, wanting him to put things right. He took it upon himself to remove components from my bike without my permission and fitted faulty parts that resulted in my having an accident that has devastated my life. I have been unable to work since the accident which happened nearly two years ago and i live my life in agony.
He assisted in the recovery of my bike and immediately interfered with it to try to cover things up. He has lied through his teeth about everything and even went as far as to deny even working on the bike.
As i am sure any decent person knows, if you do things like that, it will bite you in the ass at some point and that is exactly what will happen because i have everything recorded..... voice calls, letters, phone records, you name it and i have got it.
He actually tried to charge me for the things he done to try to cover his tracks and then threatened to dispose of my bike to `recover` his `losses`.
He wrote to me threatening to get rid of the bike and was spouting off a load of threats to do so under various laws, even though he is not entitled to do so under any circumstances other than on the direction of a court.
I believe that he has disposed of both my own and other peoples` property on ebay and i am looking forward to hearing what he has got to say for himself.
I am aware that he done exactly the same to others that he done to me..... cause a situation, hold their bike, try to charge storage fees of over £17 per night, then get rid of their property and pocket the cash.
As i said, malcolm barton is a criminal... he is a thief, a liar, and fraudster.
I would urge anyone who reads this post to inform anybody they know who may be thinking of using him to stop them because their lives stand to be destroyed by this vile excuse for a human being. I will be reporting back to you all because i am going to expose him for the whole world to see him for what he is.
And one other thing, what i have said here isnt even the tip of the iceberg. When you have nothing but four walls for company, you have a lot of time to go digging....and what i havent come up with isnt worth knowing.
Feel free to u2u me anytime, best wishes to all.

in addition to what i have already said, i would like to hear from anybody who has had problems with malcolm barton.
i will help you to redress the balance if you too have been cheated out of money or if you have issues with him under consumer law.
do not feel that you are fighting a losing battle because you are not. I will gladly assist and advise anyone who approaches me for help and i look forward to doing so.

I've taken the decision to close this thread due to it clearly becoming a farce. I've come to this conclusion because I'm convinced that carnymouse is actually Malcolm Barton from MB Customs who, as mentioned, has previously been banned due to his behaviour. There is little point in carrying on a thread where someone is likely to be attempting to pass themselves off as an independant third party.

Reasoning behind this:

1. 'Carnymouse' appears to be the email address of a Mrs Julie A Barton, obviously the same surname and therefore possibly related. Source: http://www.carnphotographic.co.uk/80700/contact.php. I'm unable to comment with regard to whether number given on this page may or may not be the same as the one used by carnymouse to verify his/her account.

2. The domain name 'carnphotographic.co.uk' is registered to a residential address 5 miles from the industrial estate that MB Customs operates from, according to their website. (Check any domain registration site to confirm). This could well be a coincidence, except that....

3. An electoral role search on said address shows not only a Julie Barton but also a Malcolm Barton, both of whom are approximately the same age and have been on the electoral role for a similar length of time at this address. I therefore suspect that it's likely that they are husband and wife.

It's all too much of a coincidence for my liking and I'm therefore closing this thread and banning the user 'carnymouse'.

I will also be investigating 'long stand' and 'ewan hewsarmy' as to whether they are the same person/another forum member.

Note that all this information is in the public domain and available to anyone via the internet. Any claim that I'm breaching some kind of information law will be ignored.

Cheers, Chris

PS: Those interested in the saga may also want to check out the names of those who nominated candidates in the Eastbourne local elections in 2010, that being the local council where MB Customs is based according to their website.
