Hey Darren.

I'm currently 900, but will hopefully one day (I have the parts, but that's it) be 985cc.
But, and let's hope this isn't an issue, the Canadian dollar will have to gain some serious ground before I'll be able to buy anything this expensive from America. The exchange right now is a real problem for me.

Thanks again for getting this going. I look forward to a stronger dollar and a spring with a beautiful new set of carbs.

Cheers.

I'll be contacting everyone at the end of the month to finalize the details on this, including shipping details, payment, etc. Still time to get in on this.

Twist my arm......... a little more......... more........... OK, OK.

If I'm not too late I would like to be counted in on a pair of Ohlins.

I need to drop out of the ohlins buy for now. I hope this doesn't affect the order for others. It looks like there would still be 10 if old1100 from the post before this one is included.

I still want to try and get in depending on when or if it happens, but the money that was set aside for this deal needs to be spent elsewhere.

If this happens now when I can't afford it, it'll be the 3rd time I've missed out on a ohlins group buy here.

I just picked up a new CB900F2B. I did not think it would be a project bike, but alas...

Short story, I can step in for pipedope and pick up a set of the Ohlins so the deal can go ahead (yes, still good for the 31 CRs as well).

Regards,

Chris

I still in on the shocks but the carbs might have to wait. Thanks for this opportunity Darren this is very generous of you.

PMs have been sent out on the OHLINS group buy who have expressed interest. Check your PM's and if you didn't receive a PM from me, let me know and I will send again. Anyone else interested in this who hasn't chimed in let me know ... this will probably be the only time I arrange a group buy for these.

Cheers.

Hi Darren,

I sent you a PM. I hope maybe I can order some as well. I was just informed from a fellow F'er.
Thanks,
Kyle

I now have all the info to submit to OHLINS to get the final shipping prices on the shocks for all participants. LAST chance to get in on this, as I'll be sending in the info early next week.

Price is $665 USD + shipping for continental USA shipping. International customers must pay any extra taxes, customs, duty, and shipping, as the shocks have to be shipped to me in Canada first, and then I send them out to you. Or, you can have them sent to another member in the USA and they can send them along to you (I'll drop ship to them). OHLINS offers a drop shipping service in the USA, but only in the USA.

Ok, OHLINS is setting up to drop ship the shocks to everyone for a flat shipping rate of $25 USD for each customer. They have 7 sets in stock and are processing an order to bring 10 more in from Sweden immediately. Therefore the cost is $665 USD + $25 USD = $690 USD. The shocks will not go out until I have collected all the payments. You will receive your invoice from OHLINS with the shock shipment.

I will follow up with individual PM's on how to send the $. Not much longer Cool

Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2016 4:05 pm

Individual PM's went out. If you did not receive a PM from me, let me know. 3 out of 10 payments received, 7 to go.

+ one

Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:16 pm

OK, so I have received 8 out of the 10 payments. Those who have paid are going to have their shocks shipped out immediately, and the other two will have to wait. I will get shipping confirmations soon. Hopefully these go out tomorrow.

Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 3:15 pm

Pm's sent. Just wanted to make sure you got my new message

Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 6:05 pm

8 orders have been processed for those who have paid to-date .... tracking numbers will follow once your shocks have been sprung with the correct springs. Shipping is via UPS so hopefully by the end of next week you will have shocks. I'll send each of you the tracking numbers via PM once I have them.

If someone drops out Darren let me know. Be nice to have a pair on the shelf.

The limit isn't a max of 10, it's a min of 10. If you want a set, let me know ...

Darren recived the OHLINS today. Very easy transaction. As I am in Michigan and we have more salt on the roads than snow test ride will have to wait. here is a picture with black springs just as ordered

Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2016 11:34 am

Received mine yesterday! They are stunning. Pictures don't do them justice. I'm in the process of a front and rear end swap and will post pics and feedback when complete. Darren is a great communicator through PMs and I couldn't be more pleased with his service here.

Thanks Darren!

Excellent, thanks guys for the feedback. Looking forward to seeing more pics with them on the bike where you can enjoy them.
