    Hi All, Richard from Racebikebitz emailed me with the good news. So you can take advantage of the discount on anything on their web site until the end of the month. We still need more 3rd Gen owners to get involved to make sure that it is also added to the product list. Also over on the VFRD forum someone as started a similar thread for 5th Gen owners wanting Samco hose kits.

    Hi Brian,

    I have taken the call today to go ahead with production, we are up to 8 people and I want to get you sorted as soon as possible. I wouldn’t advise we have done this as it may stop more people ordering in a hurry but getting you and the 1st come purchases ready is paramount. I think as soon as some also get to you guys and photos start going up they will realise what they are missing out on.

    Also I forgot to mention which is worth saying, I have activated this code to work on any kit on the whole site on and off road, so if anyone requires anything else they get this same great deal.


    Thanks and Best Regards


    Richard

    Hi All, I have received this email from Richard at Racebikebitz. So hopefully we will get a price and discount code this week. so all you 3rd Gen owners can place your pre-orders on their webpage and when enough orders are placed productions will start for this kit as well.

    BigB.


    Hi Brian,

    Hope you are well !

    We got the 3rd gen kit in this week for the guy in the UK, we should have a price on these on Monday or Tuesday. I will send over the minute its priced like before and have the link to the website.


    With the 4th Gen we made it up to 8 in the end so still a few off but like I said we did go ahead and have the tooling made, I am positive we will sell more once some arrive. If you could please re-post and have a little ask would be appreciated, going forward we will stock them in Red and Blue as this seems to have been the most popular. Around the 8th April it looks like the 1st kits roll off the line. All the tooling is now made and complete just now they are all being hand made in our South Wales UK factory. I will see if I can get a picture of an actual kit being made.

    Thanks very much !

    Will let you know minute we are sending you your 1st kit very soon,

    Kind Regards & Thanks


    Richard

    Hi All, As my bike is already stripped to remove the hoses I will post photo's of the fitting process when I receive my kit. I intend to use the original hose clips, a couple of them weren't in good shape so I'll replace them with spares from my stock of bits from bike that I've stripped in the past. As you can all see from Richards email he would like a few more people to order 4th Gen kits to justify his decision to go ahead and start to make the first kits. The 3rd Gen kit will need the same level of support with orders before they will put that kit into production. So when we get the price and discount code please get your orders in A.S.A.P. ps please add your name to the 3rd Gen list if you intend ordering a kit.

    Thanks for all your support,

    BigB.

    I received the email that all you 3rd Gen owners have been waiting for so click on the link and place your orders, as the quicker you all place your orders the quicker they will start production of these kits. Also you can all see that Richard has kindly agreed to my request for permanent discount for forum members :cheerleader:



    Hey Brian !



    Hope you are well, I have been away this week and again next but understand James arranged your hoses being sent last week.



    Cant wait to see pictures,



    Good news also is the new kit is up now, we only had it finalised on Wednesday which hoses were required to complete as some measurements were in question but now all sorted.



    http://racebikebitz....oolant-Hose-Kit



    Please find the link below if you could post up would be great, again I have just pushed this through to be made assuming the demand will be there after the commitment offers form the members.



    Also I have activated the voucher code to be valid until end of May 2014. This will be at the intro offer as before of 15% so plenty of time. ( code VFR750-15 )



    Then after this introductory offer the we will make a new code for your members for a permanent 15%. How does this sound ?



    Look forward to hearing, have a good weekend !



    Kind Regards

    Richard.





    The only sad thing I can add is my kit didn't turn up today :mad: But living in N.Ireland Iam used to next day from mainland UK actually being at lease 2 days so I wasn't that surprised.

    Can't use the above link on either msn or mozilla. When I go on "their" website and I click the Gen 3 description, I get promted to a white page with four strange pull downs, at this point, I have to cancel the page. Can you let me know if the "kit" is available for my Gen 3 bike and how much it costs? Thanks in advance for your help, :thumbsup: Cheers.

    You have to create an account for the code to work. 3rd gen sets are $141 without VAT but including the discount. About $20 shipped to Cali.

    Hi All, Can all 3rd Gen owners that are intending placing orders do it A.S.A.P. as production will not start until they receive a few more orders and its not really fair on the people that have already placed and payed for their kits to have to wait until the rest of you get your fingers out and use them to click on the buy it now button LoL. :sneakiness:


    Thanks,

    BigB

    Hi All 3rd Gen owners PLEASE place your pre-orders for these kits A.S.A.P. so that the people that have already placed their orders can get their hoses A.S.A.P. and do not have to wait for enough orders to be placed for production to start on this kit. A lot of people have put a lot of time and effort into making this happen don't let the opportunity to get this kit added to Samco's options list slip by. All 3rd/4th Gen bikes WILL need replacement hoses sooner or later and we have got are shelves a good deal here. So don't sit on the fence and press the buy it now button or what ever the link asks of you PLEASE. I know Samco are not the cheapest but in my years of experience using them on race biked they are the best. Using the link posted earlier in thread and interring the discount code when placing our order to receive the 15% discount.

    Thank you to all the 3rd & 4th GEN owners that have already supported this topic with a special mention to JZH who by putting his into his own pocket and buying a set of 3rd Gen hoses & sending them to Samco to be used as template for this kit but if not enough of you 3rd Gen owners do not place pre-orders NOW these kits will not be added to their list.



    Thanks,



    BigB.

    Order placed. Your posted links are being truncated for some reason, the URL and pic posts.

    Reposting the link to Racebikebitz, '90-'93:
    http://racebikebitz.com/samco-hoses...990-1993-5-Piece-Samco-Sport-Coolant-Hose-Kit

    Can you re-post the pics?

    The initial shipping quote ended up being $13 less than the final shipping quote that they hit you with in the last few ordering pages. Just a web site issue they should look at as they seem to both be based off the complete shipping address, so I'm not sure why it jumps on the payment page.
