HeliBars GROUP BUY

Hey, Guys and Gals. About a month ago I sold my KTM SuperMoto to an eBay buyer in Florida and then went and bought a nice 2006 VFR800 from my local dealer here in Delaware. So, yes, I'm a bit new here to this forum, but with help from the buyer of that KTM, we’re offering a “Group Buy” for HeliBars. As it turns out, he operates a motorcycle accessories company/website (Biohazard Cycles, Inc. Clermont, FL (352) 396-9115) in Florida. Between selling him my KTM and a few other transactions, I can vouch for him.



3-4 pair will be $235 shipped (in the US).
5-9 pair will be $225 shipped.
10+ pair will be $215 shipped.

So, who wants in on this deal? Obviously, for me I need the 6th Gen version (part #HB01003). The Group Buy prices above apply to multiple orders of the SAME HeliBar part. Not a combination of different HeliBar part numbers.

I want to leave this up for one week and place the order next Monday provided we have at least 3 people to get the $235 price. He accepts PayPal/Credit Cards and the HeliBars will ship directly to you. FYI, I'm also posting this on the "other" VFR forum site in an effort to get as many people as possible in on this deal to lower the cost for everyone.

-Alan

I am interested in this; unfortunately, I do not currently own a VFR. I'm on the look out for one right now and hope to have it soon.

There's a large chance I'd still buy into this without owning one.

Please email me @ exxyiphone@gmail.com if you need a 3rd or 5th person for the deal. I prefer to paypal him directly if possible.

I'm interested and have on 07 RWB . I tried this on the last group buy and only 3 of us actually put up the money. How many are doing it this time?
How does your source want to work the deal?

Please count me in for a 6th gen set. I'm new to the VFR and this forum and I'm in the market for the Helibars. I rode about 190 miles yesterday and was a bit fatigued. I think the bars will help.

count me in, but I'll have them shipped to upstate NY. What's the next step? I think we're over 3 people now.

Today is the last chance for anyone to get in on this deal. (6th gen only) If you want to be part of it, PM me with your email address. Later tonight I'm going to forward them to biohazardcycles and he will send out a PayPal invoice to each of us.

Helibars

Thought I'd throw a tip for any of you that need a torque wrench. (The pinch bolts need to be correctly tightened) Check out Harbor Freight. They have some really good prices.

Is this going to be a revolving group buy, available as groups of 3 or more want to purchase?

they said they make them in batches of 15.. so i can add more until they get to the 15 then it would be another week past that.. seems they cant make more than 15.. that doesnt make sense to me!! since she said they sold of them everytime they make them.. make 30!!!

I spoke with Tom last week and Heli was supposed to ship the lot to him sometime late last week (probably Friday). So, depending on when HE receives them and the shipping time to each of us from his place in Florida, I'd guess "by this weekend" is a possibility, but mid next week is more likely.

Tom did get them to me on Friday unfortunatley it required my signature.I'm having them delibered to the job on Monday. I think these will make the VFR
perfect. I appreciate your efforts. Now if we can get a break from all this rain.

For the next group buy please count me in. I am willing to put the $$$ down. On long rides my hands are killing me. Anyone know when it will be?

Next group buy, count me in. Sounds like a great opportunity to upgrade my older helibar set to the latest and greatest ergonomic adjustments. Please send an email to me directly at - wyseDOTtomATgmailDOTcom
