Is Bygdawg still in business ?

[VT-Woodchuck]

Does anyone know if Bygdawg still in business and selling tip over bars? The website is still up but I've sent email a few days ago with no answer.

He was travelling last I saw.

Is he still selling the tip over bars?

 

[drtyrrel]

He made more last summer. I had emailed him early last year and he had none. I picked up a second hand set, shortly after he emailed to tell me he had more in stock.

 

[Landon]

He is. You can email him at jjhumphries@iccms.edu

I got in touch with him and just ordered a set. They are due to arrive in a couple days. Great guy, great bars. I went with his because of the cleaner more discreet look and I like the solid bars.

Jay is good people! Don’t tell him I said that though. Glad you got things taken care of. I’ve had a set of them on mine for several years now.

I've got one of his racks for the 1300. Very well done and very handy.

I got a pair from him early this spring. Maybe March or April? Shipped to Canada and worth every penny! Had my first tip over at the 40th anniversary of the Ride for Sight last month and they worked exactly as advertised and saved my paint and saved my leg from getting pinned under the bike.

I hope he's still in business - - - I placed an order on 9/2 and paid with Paypal. I'll give it some more time in case he's on vacation or something.

I have his cell number. Let me know and I will give him a txt or a call. He’s a college professor. He might be a little busy. But he always replies to my txt or call. He’s good people! So I don’t mind helping him out in anyway I can. I have his tip over bars on my ST.

 

[iflyvfr]

Thanks! I sent an email earlier. It's only been a couple of days since my order was placed.

My only problem with my buddy Jay is when I spent the night at his house he maid me stay in a room that had Alabama football paraphernalia all over the room. He knew I was an Oklahoma Sooner Fan. I’ll get him back someday!!! I enjoyed every minute of it though. He’s good people!

 

[iflyvfr]

Well he's definitely still in business because I just received my tipover bars...lightning fast! Placed order on 9/2...just received them today, 9/6. That's very fast!

 

[iflyvfr]

aaaand..here it is installed. Gives a new guy like me some peace of mind.

As of September 2, 2019 Jay is still cranking them out.... per his reply email to me as of an hour or so ago.
FINALLY I'm ordering a set for my ST!

 

[Larry Fine]

1100s too, or only 1300s?

 

[k2mpw]

Well... dunno... All I can attest to is that he had the bars for the 1300 in stock and are shipping out in a day! I've emailed him a link to this thread.

 

[k2mpw]

ST1300 only....

You could probably make a set up for a ST1100 but it would require that you put a hole in each side panel for the top mount.
And every time you wanted to pull a side panel, you would have to remove the bars.
I have seen a 'police' set that go around the saddlebags but they would make opening the bags a problem.
