Group Buy *** Hyper-Lites***

[STindy05]

I recently purchased some items from Racerpartswholesale.com and had a great experience. They are local to my area and offer that item can be picked up to save on shipping. While I picked my items up I asked if they would be interested in offering a group buy to ST-owners.com. So...I thought I would try it with Hyper-Lites.


Racerpartswholesale is offering a special on hyper-lites. Its not a huge discount as he said he does not have much wiggle room on this item, but hey...its something.

For those who don't know what Hyper-lites are: Demo (http://www.hyperlites.com/images/hyperlites-lg.gif)

Here is the offer:

Hyperlites HYP-DFUNIV (http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/3122/Hyper_Lites)

Price: $67.95 with me picking them up. Shipping will be whatever it cost me to ship them to you. If you can get them at an event from me then cost for shipping will then be FREE.

Your saveings: $6.00 on the lites and at least $5.00 on shipping depending on how they are delivered.

Funds will need to be paid before an order is placed as I don't have the money sitting around to pay for 10 sets.

We need a minimum order of 10.


If this group buy goes well, then maybe we can set some other Group Buys with this vendor. They are the owners of Helen Two Wheel Bags Also!

Great. I wait three years to buy hyperlites and finally broke down this winter and got them for full price. UGH!!!

SWEET!!! Your timing is exemplary... I need some... Let me check with the accounting department (my wife)... :D

Update: I'm IN... Payment method? (I prefer to mail you a check ASAP - so that it has time to clear...)

Chipster...I don't want to collect any funds until we have ten people in to make sure we get enough for the group buy. Waiting for a check to clear will not hold up the group buy, as long as I have the check I trust the members of this board enough that the check will clear.

I did the same thing myself this winter. I am not even getting a set, just thought I could help some others out with something I wish I could have got in on in the two years I have been a member here.

[ChipSTer]

Do they also have the 'LICENSE PLATE BRACKET' also?

Count me in for three... yes, three! Also, I'll take three license plate brackets as well if possible.

I know the brackets aren't part of this buy, but hey...if I don't ask...

However, I'm serious about the three sets of hyper-lites. I have four bikes and the fourth is strictly off road and does not need it.

Let me know the details for payment.

[ChipSTer]

I don't see it listed, but I bet he can get them.
I'll take one bracket also (if he'll match or beat the price)... I think that would make for a really clean install... :D

[STindy05]

I will call them on Monday and tell them that there is interest in the license plate bracket and see if he can get them. I bet he will be able to! Half way there guys.

[tommyboy]

I would prefer the license plate bracket version, but I will take the "regular" if that is the only group buy option. Thanks for thinking of us all!

[DeanR]

I'm interested in a set. License plate bracket mounting.

Clarification. These are the 8 LED dual function units, correct?

I was under the impression that they were the 16 led/unit... :confused:

You are correct. These are 8 LEDs per pod and are dual function. With both pods there is a total of 16 LEDs. Seems these are what many have used on their backs with brackets behind the rear reflectors.

Sorry guys, I did not get him called yesterday as it was busy here at the office. Will try to get him called today about the bracket and find out what it would cost to add it.

[bygdawg]

The price is for two, correct? How hard are they to wire in? I think they are a much needed addition to the bike, but I don't want to tackle a wiring job that's going to be difficult. I'm not the best when it comes to electrics.

You are going to get two pods of 8 LEDs. Check this thread out on what you will get:

http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2813&highlight=hyperlites

These are the same as those except these have the option of running 30% brightness along with the tail light.

I don't know how hard they are to install because I have not done mine yet. Does not look that hard to me though.

[st1300r]

They are not hard to install. Search the board there are examples.
I think it took about 45minutes. I used the provided taps to pick off the brake and ground wires. Also used the provided telco bean connectors to join the two lights to the controller.

As I recall it involved pulling the rear rack cover, removing the seat and dropping the rear fender assy to get to the wires. Used an L bracket where the rear reflectors are, to mount the leds.

They have saved my bacon twice.

[chuckSTer]

Count me in for one set. Thanks for your efforts

[Kessie]

I will take a set also. Thanks for setting this up!!

[STindy05]

We have reached 10 units!!! If you guys are alright with it, I would like to leave this group buy open till Sunday Night till 10:00 PM to make sure everyone gets the opportunity.


I also did call them about the brackets, he is checking on them and when I hear back from him I will let you know what I find out. Thanks!

[STindy05]

License plate brakets will be $10.00. Does everybody want them? Please post whether you wish to have it or not.

[DeanR]

yep, one bracket please

[Louie Louie]

Did you want me to pay you via Paypal? I do want the brackets.

Thanks!!

[Kessie]

I will take mine without Brackets.
Thanks
Kevin

[Highpockts]

Me to please... Just the lights (no brackets), Thanks

[maxib]

I would like three brackets please.

Thanks for getting this buy together!

[INDYBOB7]

Landon - appreciate you taking the lead on this. As bad as I wanted them, eased off the buying frenzy to take care of the latest maintenance and heated grip installation; plus have the usual spring homeowners' dues, maintenance contracts etc. Daughter's college graduation coming up in a little over 3 months so limiting the farkles right now. Looking at replacing the windshield next. Rode to DC and back last week and the winds beat me up. What is your windshield opinion?

I run the stock shield, I like it as I ride with it down unless its raining or cold. If you decide to go with something else, let me know...I may be interested in your stock shield as mine is getting scratched up and I noticed to top film layer is starting to come off.

I don't know what this will cost to ship. $4 sound fair? That should buy padded envelops and pay for USPS. If not I will just pick up the difference.

Since we have reached ten units, I will start collecting the money for them. Please keep in mind that this will run until Sunday for others to get in, then was all money is recieved the order will be placed. I am sure Racerparts will have to order them and then I will get them and ship. So we maybe talking about 2-3 weeks before you have them in your hands.

If any of you are attending CampSTOC I can hand deliver them there to save on shipping.


Expect to be getting a PM from me with your total and payment options.

Also...when you send a check or use paypal make sure you include your internet handle in the comments or memo section so I can figure out that "John Doe" is HILLBILLYBOB on here. Thanks.

Kevin...I have you marked as Paid. The No you see is for No on the bracket. The forum won't let me make columns and spread it out, so it looks like it says No Paid.

Alright guys, I have the lights and brackets at my house. I am going to be out of town this weekend. So I will be shipping them Monday and you should be getting them by the end of next week.

[STindy05]

:toot1: :toot1: Hyperlites and brackets have been shipped! I took the to the post office this morning, so you should be recieving them in the next few days.

[STindy05]

Anybody get theirs? Let me know when you recieve them so I know they got to you. Thanks!

[bygdawg]

NO. I don't think they're going to deliver mine until sometime later in May, around the same time of CampSToc I think. ;)

[DeanR]

Mine came yesterday, will be installing them on one bike or the other over the weekend. Thanks Landon...

[ChipSTer]

Mine came yesterday.. haven't even opened the package yet... busy, busy, busy.... :22yikes: Don't know when I'll get enough time to install them... :22yikes:
:cool:

P.S. Thanks for putting together the group-buy... :D

[Louie Louie]

Got mine!!! Thanks again!;)

[maxib]

PM sent before I saw this. :D Thanks

[DeanR]

Just installed mine on the Yamaha. EASY....However, It seems that I have no flashing, only always on brake light. I emailed hyper-lite to troubleshoot and they said thanks for contacting us, we'll try to answer your question within the WEEK!

[Kessie]

Mine are in hand also.
Thanks again!
Kevin

[tommyboy]

I installed mine two weeks ago. I decided not to add the flasher unit and just have them light up as a secondary brake light. I mounted them to an "L" bracket attached to the rear side reflectors. They look great when lit. Between the headlight modulator, Stebel horn and Hyperlights they will either see me or hear me!
