[H20SKIER]

AWESOME. i'M IN FOR A GROUP BUY. what is the US dollar amount for these??

[st11ray]

I think they are only about $30.00 including shipping to the US for 3 of them.

[George]

I'm in for two sets. Who's gonna do it? Pat, you brought it up. :D

[AgSTreak]

I'm in. Two sets for me too!!:D

[Hashimoto]

If it becomes a group buy, I'll take a set.

[helicopper]

I'm in for a set as well. Very cool.

[STindy05]

I can send them an email and see if they would be interested in offering it as a group buy.

[sirepair]

Well, since I put my foot in my mouth I'll see if I can work out something!

Sending them an email now..... Will keep you posted!

[dannyk]

AWESOME. i'M IN FOR A GROUP BUY. what is the US dollar amount for these??

Live rates at 2008.02.06 18:22:30 UTC
1.00 EUR = 1.46385 USD
Euro United States Dollars
1 EUR = 1.46385 USD 1 USD = 0.683130 EUR

[STindy05]

I am kinda interested to see what their radiator protector looks like.

[sirepair]

OK, I sent an email requesting a quote for 20 sets and shipping to US. Let's see what we get....

[EASt]

I'll be following this too. If we can get something going, I'm probably in.

Neat!

[st11ray]

Well, I already ordered a set before I posted the link. I'll let you guys know how they look when I get them. They cost me $28 with shipping.

[gwensec]

Ray,
Thanks for pointing them out!

[Austin city limits]

ME,,, ME,,, ME!!!

I want a set!!!:D

[sirepair]

OK, here's what I got back:

Hi Patrick, (lovely Irish name!!)

Many thanks for your enquiry.

Rest assured - I'll do my best for you.

Price per set, based upon minimum order of 20 sets =
£11.50 less 17.5% = £9.49 per set.
20 x £9.49 = £189.80

In respect of shipping....
given the small and light packs that these are in, the shipping costs will be minimal.
So....
I will share the actual cost of shipping with you on a 50/50 basis.

Please be aware, these are selling really well - particularly as the Honda VFR 400/750/800 guys are also on to them!

And..... most importantly...... you and your fellow members are gonna love ‘em. They look great on the bike!!

If I can be of further help – please let me know.

Kind regards,
Keith Munro.

Let's see how many more wants a set and I'll tally it up. Let this run a week?

I'll order the entire bunch and then split the shipping cost (from UK) by the # of sets and add that to the set cost. Then ship to each of you, set cost + actual shipping to your door.

Sound OK? Hope so! We can use paypal for fees.

[Northeast Rider]

I'll take a set, thanks

Brian

Casey, IL is almost 600 miles from my driveway! Are you kidding? The ST wasn't meant to do so many miles.

I 117% agree... That is why everyone rides to here as it is to far to ride...:confused: :duck:

I am in for a set if there are any available.
Is Sirepair handling this?

[EASt]

Look, mister, I didn't buy the ST to go galavanting about the countryside, racking up miles, finding twisty roads, and seeking great little places to eat in the middle of nowhere.

No sir, my ST sits in the garage where it belongs.

(FWIW, I'm checking average temps up here for that week to see if I can sneak out)

DING-DING-DING, The market is now closed!

"Katapult" picked up the last set!

I think this buy is putting a big dent in his inventory, but Keith stated that we were covered!

Now, for the logistics!

I'll PM each of you for payment/shipping info. As I said, Moonshine delivery is a FREE option!!

[sirepair]

Phil and all,

You're welcome!

As soon as I get a cost calculated I'll let you all know. I do not expect payment until I am ready to ship.

Hopefully the shipment from UK won't take too long. Maybe Keith can give me some idea.

Terry, you been raiding yur neighbors' mail boxes for Social Security Checks again? :D

BTW, these badges are technically not a farkle. F=Functional. They are just "bling." :D

[STPaulK]

LOL, I have always joked that any company could unload a bunch of trinkets here by simply stamping it with 'ST' or 'Honda'. :D

[georgeorge]

Sorta like stamping em with 'Harley' and selling em on their forum!

[egar]

If anyone bails on this, please add me to the list!

[Bones]

Where are you all planning to put these badges? Curious to see other ideas before making my choice.

[sirepair]

Think I'll wait to see where Terry puts his....then NOT put mine there!:duck:

Not really! But I want to get these in hand then they will "tell" me where they want to go.

[Winged_STer]

Naturally I stumble across this thread after they are all gone. If you do another run of them I would love a set!

Same with me, I didn't this one until it was closed out. I'd be interested as well. Can the 50 be expanded to 60 or 75?

Hey Guys,
You can order a set directly from Bike Quip. That's what I did before the group buy started. They only cost me $28 and that includes shipping from the UK.

[Winged_STer]

Thank you sir! I will do just that.

Gary

[stoc445]

I just placed the order.

Thanks Ray

[sirepair]

The group order was to have shipped today (saturday). I should have tracking info monday.

[sirepair]

I have the tracking info, the badges are on the way!! My understanding that shipping will take about a week. I'll update when I have received them!!

[EASt]

Great! Thanks for the work! :bannana

[stoc445]

As posted earlier, I ordered my badges on Feb 9 and they arrived today, Feb 14. Even included a nice hand written note thanking me for my order!

I figured mine would have been here already, but maybe tomorrow. How do they look, Denny?

[Mark49]

I'm interested in 2 sets. Welcome addition to the look of the bike. People are always asking about the engine. Let me know

[Grantizzle]

I am also interested. possibly another group buy?

[DeanR]

Also interested......Was too late for the first batch

[Winged_STer]

Has anyone posted pictures of the badges mounted on their STeed? I am curious to see how others are locating them and just how great they willl look.:D

Gary

[stoc445]

Sorry for the delayed response, been out Farkling! They look great. Haven't put it in the bike yet. Haven't decided where I want to put them.

I could take some pics if you'd like.

[STBNE]

I cant believe I have not seen this thread until now...well if another group buy happens I'm good for 1 set too...what was the price before a group buy??

[ST-Brian]

I'm in too if there's another group buy....

[stoc445]

I cant believe I have not seen this thread until now...well if another group buy happens I'm good for 1 set too...what was the price before a group buy??

I forget exactly, but less than $30.

[STBNE]

Just wondering if they could still be ordered as an individual buy?

[sirepair]

As far as I know, there are still some available for individual sale.

Keith seems like a great guy to work with, contact him here: http://www.st1300-accessories.co.uk/st1300_honda_v4_badges.html

[stoc445]

So where are you guys placing your badges?

[retpd2001]

So where are you guys placing your badges?

One on the front, one on the back, just below the "Honda" emblem (??).

[st11ray]

So where are you guys placing your badges?

Maybe one on each side, under the ST1300 decal.

[st11ray]

Just got mine in the mail today! They look pretty good, I don't know how well they are going to show up on my '06 but the '06's are so fast it will be hard to see them anyway!

[stoc445]

Ray,
thats why I was thinking of placing them on the side cover, like the older Honda 750's. You'd only see it when it's parked.

[st11ray]

Well, I placed them about 1/2" below the ST1300 side decal and centered between the "3" and "0" in 1300. Like the directions say, make sure you have it marked right because they don't move once they touch the plastic!

[sirepair]

**UPDATE**
I just sent an email to see if Bike-Quip folks can track the package. I'm expecting it any day now, but I have had issues with receiving packages here (another story...)

Here's a few pics. I'll try to take some better ones in the daylight.

[st11ray]

Well, those are about useless.

Well, those are about useless.

LOL.. hey, you tried... the 2nd one isn't too bad but yes, in daylight and a bigger pic would be great.

It does give an idea on how they look and I think it is a nice addition. Well done!

[st11ray]

LOL.. hey, you tried... the 2nd one isn't too bad but yes, in daylight and a bigger pic would be great.

Hey Joe,
How do you make the pics bigger? I took the shot, downloaded to computer, and then did the "manage attachments". I also use a Mac. And it is raining today, so I'll try again tomorrow!
Thanks.

It looks like that's how big the pic is on your PC... the site didn't resize it.

Check your orig pic, if you have a bigger one you should be able to attach it.

**LATEST ON THE GROUP BUY**

I got this message from Keith at Bike-quip today:


Hi Patrick,

Oh dear – this is the first time this has happened to me in almost 5 years and I wonder....
Why with your order??

I confirm all of the following to you....
Ref. PARCEL No. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

1. It left me on 9 Feb.
2. It left the UK, bound for JFK Airport on 10 Feb. (the Royal Mail site confirms this).
3. The Royal Mail site reads.... as you state below.
4. The US Postal Services site states.... ‘There is no record of this item’.
5. I have emailed USPS via their web site but I have no idea what response I will receive (i.e. I’ve never had to do this before).

Today (25.02.08), I have contacted the Royal Mail International Services dept and they have told/advised me....
- “there are industrial problems within JFK Airport and we have 000’s of packages held up because of these problems”.
- “keep looking at the usps site for any changes in what they are recording against your Parcel Ref. No”.
- “unfortunately, because of the International Postal Agreements that are in place,
we can not investigate this any further until 27 March” (given the initial posting date of 9 Feb.).

I’ve searched to see if I can see that there are problems with handling international mail in JFK, but I’ve found nothing.
This does not necessarily mean that there are no problems.

In the meantime, unfortunately.... we have to wait until it is received by you, OR, until 27 March, when I can start to process a claim.
Also, whilst I considered sending you a 2nd package.... this is not possible as these have sold so well, I don’t have enough to send you (and my next batch will not be with me until early April).
Please believe me when I say I feel really bad about this but I have certainly played my part correctly and it seems Royal Mail have also completed their task correctly.
None of the foregoing really helps you or I but I have to ‘tell you as it is’ (i.e. I like to be 100% up front with all of my customers’).
I really am sorry about this delay, I ask that you understand my dilemma and..... please pass on my most sincere apologies to our ST1300 colleagues.

I’ve no doubt – we will keep in touch as required.

Kind regards,
Keith.

Sorry for the delay guys!:banghead:

[Austin city limits]

Sorry about this for you Pat... I will buy a beverage of your choice for the problems this has caused you... :(

Everyone~~~

Pat is out the money,,, right now,,, today,,, really about 2 weeks or more ago!!! So,,, remember this when you pay him and throw a little extra his way... ;)

[George]

I'm on the wait list and will continue to wait. Happy to pay at anytime via PayPal, let me know, Pat.

[sirepair]

Thanks for your patience folks! I don't want anyones money till I have these in my hands!!

[Papa]

Geeze,, I missed this completly :turtle

[sellyoursol]

If these are re-ordered or if there are any left over, please let me know, I'd like a few.

[EASt]

My ST will run fine until they come. Doesn't have to be right now.

Thanks for your persistence.

[sirepair]

I've been emailing back and forth with BikeQuip. Keith is doing everything he can, short of a plane ride to JFK, to locate the package. Worst case is that we wait till he gets another batch (mid April, I believe) before we can take delivery.

I keep waiting for them to "magically" appear at my door....

This is frustrating to be at the mercy of the shippers, but there really isn't much else to do at this point.

Fortunately, these items are just a "pretty-up" thing and not necessary for the operation of our bikes. I'd be really cranked if we NEEDED these to ride.

[tommyboy]

I have implemented my backup plan - I have ordered the V-4 plate frame from Keith on this site!:D
No worries about the delay.

[sirepair]

OK, looks like I should have the group buy package Monday. I will send PMs once I have them in my hands....

WOOT!!

I have to get the postage figured out, along with the final cost. I should be able to get these out in the mail by Wednesday! I will be sending PMs with the payment information. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!

Keep us informed

This has been an enlightening experience! Even with the delays and such, everyone has been GREAT! I MIGHT even consider doing it again!

Joe, quick question: Is there a way to automate (like a mail merge) sending PMs. A java script, maybe?? Sumpin?? That's been the biggest PITA of the whole thing!

Nope... the only way to handle that would be get everyone's email address and used your mail client for that kinda stuff.

Sorry.

Pat,
I'm sure I speak for the rest when I thank you for the effort you have put forth on our behalf.

+1 on Pat :lucky:

[Papa Bear]

Yes it is appreciated, Pat.:bow1:

Hey, it was worth a shot! Next time (if I do something like this again!) I will use email instead of PMs. Sure does fill up the PM box pretty quick!

Another lesson learned....

Maybe there should be a sticky with tips and tricks for doing a group buy!!:hat1:

STICKY
Sure-fire three step-process for handling a group buy:
1. Have Pat O handle it.
2. Wait for group buy item to arrive.
3. Convey to Pat that "a lot of people, particularly me, would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand."

Installing pictures on my bike would just be distracting...:scared2:
(just had to do it....)

Maybe I'll attach my new V4 badges and post some pics!:D

I tried to post some pics in post #117 of this thread, but they did not work to well. You can get a bit of an idea of how they look on the mid side fairing.

OK Folks, the badges are in the mail (except for those that opted for Moonshine delivery) You should have them in the next few days.

I'm VERY impressed with (nearly) everyone's prompt payment! Thanks for that!

If you have ANY issues (well, other than deciding where to apply them) just let me know!

**glug, glug, glug** Ahhh, Mmmmm, Thanks Bones! **burp** Good STuff!

[sirepair]

Just got a PM from ST1300A, he has received his badges! WOOT!

Everyone else should be getting theirs soon!!

Patrick,

I am sure I speak for everyone - Thanks for a job well done!

Here's a shot of mine on the bike:

[Papa Ritch]

Are we sure why there is a black mark over the 4. I check the Bike-Quip site & they also have the black mark ??? I do like to badges, & a thank you to Patrick for doing this for us. Ritch:03biker:

Patrick,

Here's a shot of mine on the bike:

They show up nicely on the Silver & Red. They are a little less noticeable on my Fast Black one but still look good.

[tommyboy]

I received mine today. I notice the black shading on the "4" as well. It will not be noticeable when they are on the bike. I am holding them up against the bike to see where I want to put them. The best spots seem to be the front and back, where I removed the "HONDA" chrome plastic badging.

[STBNE]

I was too late for the group buy but i ordered these anyway:D I too have the mysterious black mark on the 4...I'm sure that isn't right but again I dont think it takes anything away from the badge's design and appearance.
Bill...Thanks for the pic ....Like your dragons too;)

[smokerst1300]

I got mine today they look great an thanks for doing this for all of us :)

[Bones]

Let's see where you all are mounting these!

[retpd2001]

OK, I will say it. Does anyone besides me think the company owes us a reason for the black mark that seems to be on all of our products, especially since we paid a hefty price for them?

I don't. Go back to their website and look the the picture of the one posted. It also has a black mark on the 4. It does not look like that big of deal to me, and its our fault for purchasing without looking at it in greater detail. They seem to be "as advertised" to me.

[st11ray]

I saw the mark on their website and it is noticeable, but I still like the way they look on my ST.

[George]

Once everyone gets their badges, it won't be exclusive anymore. I'm unique, just like everyone else. :D

Thanks, Patrick. See ya at Moonshine.

Fair enough, I never saw the website, my fault. I still like them and appreciate the effort that went into getting them for us.

I was curious about the black mark on the 4 also so I asked about it at the Bike-Quip website.

The Honda V-4 badges are a cool idea. Why is there a diagonal black slash across the 4?

Hi Ron,

Many thanks for your enquiry.

How ironic that you send me an email on the very day that...........
I have exhausted all stocks of my initial batch of V4 badges, which have been replaced with by my Mk.2 version.

Mk.2 version?
I have reviewed and revised the design and, suffice to say.......
- there is no longer any shading on the 4.
- there is less shading on the V.

Whilst the first batch were exactly as I designed and therefore, as I intended..... I’ve had to eat humble pie because I have to admit, my Mk.2 version is much improved. That said, for those few people that have asked about the shading on the 4....
- they all found it looked a bit odd when taking it out of the packet
BUT...
- looked perfectly OK when placed on the bike.

Odd, maybe - but true!

Go ahead – order a set – you’ll be delighted !! GUARANTEED !!!

Kind regards,
Keith.
