    Ahhh...camping section. Good idea. Also, I just checked on this site. You may have heard of it. Amazon.com? A crap-ton of various ones on there. Should have thought of that first, I suppose.
  2. WGREGT
    I like the idea, as I too was thinking "not glass" but the cheapest 12x12 is $25+. Maybe someone else sells it? I'll look and see...

    Those of you with 6th gens that have/use the OEM topcase (mostly you Euros and fwd-thinking 'Mericans like me...I love the thing for near-daily use but see few of them on the road)... Have you mounted any sort of mirror on the inside? I'd love to find/mod something to check eye contacts/helmet hair before going into work, etc. I was thinking a Goldwing topcase mirror would work, but they all seem to be lighted/overdesigned for something like I want. Doesn't have to be glass....thoughts?

    Let us get CAD-worthy drawings completed and we'll get back to you, how's that?
  5. WGREGT
    No hurry. I prefer they be right vs. fast anyhow.

    I'll grab an oar b/c we're in the very same boat.

    Oy. If you only knew the half of it... It's not hard to make, it's hard to get the cost down for such a small number. Originally these COST (not what they sold for) was about $35 or so per set. That includes the drilled hardware. Shipping was not added to this. The latest proposal I got on the new design was about $120/set. This does not include the drilled hardware, which would add about $7 - $10 to it. Shipping was not added to this. To me, that's too much. Still trying to get some new CAD drawings I can shop around to get the price down. Stay with me, folks...

    Just as an FYI folks: The images I posted earlier of the design have been deleted. Apparently, me posting them here solely in order to gain insight to the like-ability of the design, insight as to possible design failure flaws (esp. since the previous version broke on a few of you), and insight as to potential pricing (trying to judge at which point these become viable to you guys price-wise) has been seen (by non-forum members) as some sort of unwritten/unmentioned "breech" of a non-contract. So, we'll continue on with the latest design instead.

    Feel free to lurk. Right now, I'm in communication with a list member here about other options on these, all with the grand goal of trying to reduce the costs in getting such a small batch made. Because of the holidays and the travel and work schedule around them, I'm told it will be early January for the next steps, which is surely understandable. I'll get back to you guys when I know more. Thanks for hanging in there, and thanks for your patience again.

    PM sending now...

    I do not have an updated CAD file. I am working on it.

    Hmmm...to me, AL is the way to go. Esp. after seeing the first round of these crack under the other bolt. I'm not sure I'd trust them to anything but AL myself.
  13. WGREGT
    Negative. Not yet.
  14. WGREGT
    I'm on it. I know what these sold for round one when they were produced and sold here, and this round is like 500% more. To me, that is unacceptable.
  15. WGREGT
    We got enough to get it going. There's no minimum, but of course the more people makes them much cheaper. I know you guys have been waiting for an update, but I've got one more loose end to track down and get a bid from. Right now I'm at $160 USD per set, which to me is excessive, so I'm in the middle of trying another angle. So sorry for the delay, but every time I do the math I'm astounded how it works out.

    Update: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/31665-gsxr-mirrors-on-6th-gen/page-54#entry1020095 I'll be using that link above to post updates from now on, BTW, to make this a bit simpler.
  17. WGREGT
    5th gen's will follow this run if we have enough interest.
  18. WGREGT
    Not a single one, IIRC. No responses to the post at all actually. Bastards.
  19. WGREGT
    Next up for you: heated grips. Love mine. Laugh at the cold!
  20. WGREGT
    Those chinese red fairings look like a million damn dollars. Well-done!
  21. WGREGT
    Got that @ Harbor Freight?
  22. WGREGT
    Yep. Same reason I have. Got tired of waiting on parts etc with one bike. Now, if somethings down for repair or customizing or whatever, even if it's a month or more, there's another to ride. Plus, you get calls like "I'm off for a week and I'm flying to CA and taking something out of your garage, and I'll bring it back whenever I damn well please, with worn tires and an empty tank. You are welcome to join me if you like." and be able to accomodate these so-called friends.
  23. WGREGT
    I'm from VA originally, so I know your ridin' time is slippin' away fast. I usually put mine up around Halloween when I lived there. I can feel the seconds slipping away from you as you try to get it out for "one more ride." Good luck getting out there soon...
