Ducati Monster Forum

Hey everyone -

I'm organizing a group buy for Sato Rear Sets for the S2R / S4R.  I have never found them for less than $550, but found a vendor who is willing to do a group buy for $460 - SHIPPED in your choice of colors: black, silver, or gold.


This group buy is open for 2 weeks (payment DUE July 25th) and everyone will be paying the vendor directly.  Sets will ship a week after payment.

Please add your name to the list in the next post with your preferred color.

What payment methods are accepted by this vendor? Visa/MC, Discover, Amex??

Thanks

That's a helluva deal. I paid $520 and they are worth every cent.

Nice price. I paid $500 cash for mine and another $60 for the right Heal guard. Still a good price. Makes me want to get another set for my S2R1000.

Yes, Visa/MC as well as PayPal. 

Adam

Sweet Deal! I paid $485 shipped couple months ago, and I thought that was a steal

does sato make passenger sets?

Sir ICON shows it but I'll just mention that the S4R version fits the S4RS as well... in case anyone with such a bike wanted in on that deal.  Have 'em on mine and couldn't be happier.  (except that I paid the full deal)  :)

Gah...I wish this was around 2 months ago when I bought mine.  That's a good price for brand new shipped!  I love mine, but they don't come with the right heel guard. Free bump in any case.

I'm probably not doing this right, but add me to the list
Brian Baxter Mopardude383@sbcglobal.net  -Black -paid

 Why do they not come with the right heel guard?  ???

Is there any chance they will do the same price for dual swing arm (2004 1000S ie)

I think it has something to do with the stock exhaust. My 2cents.

I'm interested in the group buy but,  I have a 2001 S4 though. 

Would it be possible to get the 01 S4 model?  Also are Sato rear sets compatible to both high and low mount?

when are you going to order?  i get my bonus next month and might be able to hide $460 from the fiance....LOL, i suck

It might just stay open until we get 10 people ... But not sure at this point, response has been kind of lukewarm

Adam

Comn people!!!! these rear sets are schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet... and i want them at a discount!!!!!!!

how do people like the sato's for the s2r?  i may be interested, tired of the lame stock rearsets making my feet slip off

Bump for a great deal, ICON maybe we could get some pice of these on your bike?  ;D

The Satos are really well made and the pegs are knurled enough to keep your feet from slipping.  The only downside is the positioning is fairly limited and they are slightly higher than stock so it reduces your leg room. 

well i also want new rearsets so that my pegs CAN be a little bit higher than stock  [thumbsup]

Is there any news on these Sato rear sets, will they do the same deal for the S4 and 2004 1000Sie

DAMN ALL OF YOU.   >:(


Must .... resist....... want rearsets so bad......

no make the beast with two backs that, give in.....

you need some positive karma that only new rearsets can bring....

besides we need a few more people

 [laugh] [laugh]

You are right. + one of my pegs is bent thanks to bad karma #3.  I am in for a definite maybe. Can you wait till monday. I need to dig up my money jar in the back yard and see what I can pull together.

any info on the new speedymoto rearsets?  i sorta would like to hold out till i hear about those, any news?

There are lots of other threads that discuss this  [thumbsup]

I think the plan was to make sure that we have 10 people before the order was put in to get the group rate.  So i guess we can wait till monday :)

I'm interested but who is this vendor?  how do we know they are reliable?

The vendor is http://www.cyclesector.com/ (http://www.cyclesector.com/), he's done GB's for other forms too (google "Sato Group Buy" and you'll find a few.)

Adam

I met Mr. Sato at Laguna. He said that they now come with the right guard.

Him and his wife where hanging out at the KYLE USA booth.

Bump.

Current List:

(I'm out of my own freakin' group buy ... Don't hate me for the reason why guys)

Adam


3 to go! Come on we can do it!  ;D

I've been following this thread closely as I may be able to commit the last day.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you back out?

Any chance on getting an extension for the due date so that we can get more people?  ???

I found something i've been looking for for 2+ years ...

(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk291/mediascope/Misc/unobtanium.jpg)

Definitely - it's not a date locked thing at all, so we'll just keep it running until 3 more join the fray  [drink]

(I'm not collecting money, just orchestrating it by putting the post up and working with the fellas at CycleSector)

Adam

i hate you for the reason why. 

i think you should sell those to me and stick with YOUR group buy.  it's the right thing to do  ;D

Oh come on! You're still getting a great deal  [bacon]

Adam

I want to know what he's going to do for replacement parts should anything unforeseen happen.  :-X

Already ordered a couple sets of toe and foot pegs from the gang at OnCycles  [thumbsup]

If I ever need anything more than that ... Well, I'll be putting together another Sato group buy!  [laugh]

Adam

you are dead to me

Could someone enlighten me as to what the pic above is? They block the pics from flickr et. al. here at work.   :-\

 :'(  :'(  :'(

Adam

They are another set of Rearsets. Not sure what make !!!. But they are a nice set.

They are CycleCat brand, and no longer in production -- so lets hope I don't have a tipover!  [moto]

Adam

fixed it.   [cheeky]


Totally kidding of course - i would never wish ill things for a fellow rider

bump

come on.. just one more member!  [coffee]

The group buy is probably funding their "buy-in" with a distributor.

I'm on the edge of the fence now, but can' commit until I'm sure the $$ is there.

Well, they've done GB's with Sato before, so I doubt this is popping their Sato cherry.  Shoot them an e-mail if you want to find out for sure

Adam

bump for one more

will they (the vendor) let some of the rearsets be for the Monster/S4 model?

If so there could be 2 more from Down Under!

Spider (& the Don!)

Cycle Sector is now taking orders on the rearsets! They have enough orders with this and other forums.  [thumbsup] He said to give him call. He had been waiting for the group buy organizer to contact him. Also if you are looking for other good deals they have the Powercommanders for $260 shipped, and Dynojet just released the one for the 07-08 S4R/S4RS monster (p/n733-411). [moto]

Hans

Still get the $460 shipped price?  What's their phone number?

PAID......

the sooner you guys pay up the sooner we get our parts, if we all pay up before the end of the week they will be on there way to us mid next week.

Guy said I was the 4th to pay....

Still $460 shipped.  ;D

Hey!  [moto]

LOL it is the truth though.....

wonder how many people paid up at this point...

i believe they are up to 6 people that have committed... they need the rest to call in/email.  All you have to do is let them know you are calling about the Sato Group buy from the Ducati forum.

-O

Huzza for rear sets!

PAID!!!   The faster everybody pays up the faster we all get our rearsets!!!

No huzza yet.....we still need 3-4 more people to sent payment info.....

Some of you may remember the thread about me getting robbed a few weeks ago.
Well they stole my credit card.
Long story short it won't be here till next week (which means I will have to pay then).  [bang]
I already called Oncycles and he said they will still honor the price for me.

Plus got a cheaper price, since it was the S4 model!

just got off the phone with Devon from cyclesector and let him know I'll be making the payment a little late.. I don't believe that will affect the other members receiving their rearsets.
-shawn

I called Devon today and ordder mine today. He said I was the 11th customer that was paid so he was able to place the order with Sato. He said he would be placing the order either today or Monday. What color did you guys get? I'm so frickin excited about getting these.

Brian

was charged for it last thursday, so sounds like we should be getting them within a week or 2 :)

Yeah they took the money out of my account today. Who's going to be the one that calls them everyday for an update?...Not it.

NOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

well I got an email saying it was shipped on friday too, so it's not in their hands anymore.  time to wait [coffee]

an email saying it was shipped, or just an invoice?

I just got an email with an attached invoice, but no indication that it shipped

guess just an invoice

Damn I never even got an invoice. Just a debit from my checking account.

it can be rear-set time now pease?

has anyone talked to Cycle sector this week?

Talked to them yesterday and they have been ordered.  Everyone that has paid should get them by the end of next week supposedly. 

Having said that Devon told me they have not received payment from everyone.  If you havent already, please call them and give them your info so they arent left standing with the bill.

-O

I believe everyone on this forum has paid already... I think I remember Devon saying it was a few members on another ducati forum that hasnt paid yet.

The Don and Spider were able to put through Monster/S4 sets as well. Paid up today.

Cheers

we should all post pictures as they arrive and get installed!

So THATS what messed this all up, you damn dual sided swing arm guys.... ;D

just like beer and women mate, two are better than one!  [thumbsup]

hmmm.  when i talked to devon last week he said we SHOULD be getting them by the end of this week (delivered).  We'll see i guess

maybe the people who paid right away had their order already placed and should be getting them soon.  while the slowpokes who didnt pay till yesterday get them later.  guess time will tell

Hey guys!  This is Devin from Cyclesector.  I know there is a bit of confusion regarding your rearsets so I decided to register on here to make it easier to communicate with you guys.  First off, I want to thank you all for your patience and support regarding this GB.  I want to make it clear what is going on at this point in time:  Right now, most of our funds (this includes almost all of the Sato money) have been frozen due to a large transaction from one of our customers in Brazil.  There was nothing illegal or even irregular about the transaction except for the large amount billed, so please don't be worried.  We have been in constant contact with our bank and are doing our best to figure out a way to release the funds so we can make the Sato order ASAP.  We expect the funds to be released Friday, but will try to buy the rearsets in increments and send what we can get now to those who ordered first. 

Once again, thanks for your patience.  We are a very small business (2 people) and greatly appreciate your support.  Know that we are doing everything in our ability to make this as painless to you, the customer, as possible.

Thanks!
Dev

P.S. These rearsets are awesome! They will be worth the wait!

Ha! it wasn't the Aussies after all - it was the bloody Brazilians - but we can''t hate them....they did come up with that 'wax'!  ;D

Yo Devin,
You still taking orders at the GB price? Wouldn't mind sending my dough once all this gets sorted out.

Devin,

Not to be a dick, this is the last thing I want to come off as. But the reason I ordered rearsets is cause I dropped my bike and my stockers while usable are pretty well tweaked and it makes riding....interesting.
Your price point was amazing and that is why I went with you guys as opposed to a normal board sponsor to buy them or rizoma's. Now with all the delays its really frustrating cause I'm in a position where I want to really ride my bike, and would've paid more had I known all this was going to happen.

But enough of my pregnant doging, I thank you being open and honest about this situation. Will there be any way to speed up shipping when you start to receive the rearsets from sato?

But again thank you very much.

 You sure it wasn't Nigeria?  [laugh]

Dammit Tom! You beat me to it.  But seriously i am the former President of Nigeria and i need your help spending my money.

Dev,

Thanks for the heads up.  I appreciate what you guys are trying to do and hope to continue to support you.  I am in the same boat as Jesse (well as of this past weekend), but i have a spare stock rearset i can throw on in the meantime. 

Thanks again

Jesse,
Dont you love that custom toe out peg position and toe in lever position!??!  I know I do!!

fromario, yeah I REALLY love it when I'm full lean in a left hand bend and my right foot slides right off the peg....

yeah, didn't need that foot there  ;D

I bent the crap out of my brake lever and it at least works now but the angle you gotta put your foot in, well blows.

I came in late also, too late to get in??

we should totally start a new thread called the Custom Footpeg/BrakeLever Club.. i will be taking pics when i get home   [beer]

I hear it's a complete tank/exhaust/rear set/clip on kit, right?  Is there a package discount?

I should put a GB together  ;D

Adam

For those wondering if they can still get in on this: Group buy is closed.  We need to focus on getting these to those who already paid before we divert our attention anywhere else.

Thanks for showing interest though!
Dev

That B-L-O-W-S!!  :P

Hope everyone gets their rearsets quickly.

Me? I'll pay retail and haven 'em in a few days.  [cheeky]

i have a track day at end of september, so hopefully get them before that :-X

End of september my ass....I certainly hope they are on the way to the paying customers by next week.

People can be pretty understanding, and I can sympathize with the situation as weird as it sounds......but i figure if they aren't on bikes by the end of the month its going to get ugly.

 Call Dana at Riverside Ducati @ 617-628-6400. She'll cut you a deal if you tell her I sent you.

Dooooood!!
That's cool of you, lookin' out for a fellow rider. [bacon] I'll give her a call. One question though, who do I say sent me; monstermash--seriously?

I would say "Tomcolore" but then, she wouldn't get that either ...

you could also try Tomignoni

Dev -

Thanks for the heads up for everyone, but frankly this isn't the way you should be running a business.  One random guy from Brazil shouldn't be derailing your entire financial agenda and delaying legitimate (paying) customers.  You’re telling me that you can’t smack five grand on a Mastercard or get Net 30 from your distributor?  Really?

I appreciate it’s a group buy and you guys are (apparently) just getting started here, but this is really, really not getting things off on the right foot.  I’m not trying to be confrontational but this is getting exceptionally frustrating for people who paid you for gear and now have to deal with the waiting game because of a poor lack of planning.

Thanks for keeping everyone up to date with this, I’m sure it’ll be well worth the wait – just avoid Brazil next time*

Adam

*Except their beach volleyball team  ;D

I agree with Adam. I don't see how someone else's legitimate transaction can screw up your funds...Well, our funds.

I just sent you a pm with the details.



 You guys are funny!  [laugh]

Just a quick FYI on the left and right height difference of the Sato rearsets

Below is the link to my original post.   To date, I have not heard anything from the distributor.  A simple response whether it was designed that way and/or a fix would have been appreciated.

http://www.ducatimonster.org/forums/accessories-mods/183622-s4rs-sato-rearset-help.html

Have you talked to them recently?  I heard they changed the sets to include the right heel guard so maybe (hopefully) they fixed this also?

So.....Friday we should here the good news?

make the beast with two backs that, friday every damn one of us should have tracking numbers OR the products themselves. IF they want to save face they will eat the cost and next day out every freaking pair. You burn a bunch of people on a board and it can spread quickly. But if I don't have my parts or a tracking number by friday I will be demanding a refund.

I agree with the good Dr....I wanted to freak out over this because frankly the moment that money was collected that order should've been placed and paid for. PERIOD.

so now some clown from  brazil has crippled your business and managed to put how many paying customers out on a limb and your bank can't fix this in under a day?

Well, I haven't heard shit. Are we really at the mercy of these guys?

i just want my parts, I know GB's can take a while....but its been 15 days since I have been billed. If I have my rearsets by friday I will be happy, if not.....well


yeah not so much

Hey guys -

I just e-mailed Scott from CycleSector, and will be giving them a call on Monday if I don't hear anything.  Watch this space!

Adam

I got ahold of one of the guys earlier and they claim that the accounts have been un-frozen. But now they have to call the distributor and find out what is available......

thats right, you read that correctly.

whoa, this is turning a bit sour....shouldn't have waited till now to ensure that the wholesaler had stock - you don't charge and THEN see if you can get the parts!

I'm off to go look at the Brazilian volleyball team to put me back in my 'happy place'.

Everyone got credit card protection?

So should we see if any board sponsors want to save the day?


Do these guys NOT understand how BIG of a mistake this will be if they don't go above and beyond from this point forward. AND the impact it could have on future business?

Yeah cause stringing along a bunch of guys on a few forums won't get out and spread.....on the internet

i will talk to Dr. D and find out what their deal is today

Anyone know the dealeo on the cash money we forked out?

All right guys, just got off the phone with CycleSector - here's what's going on NOW (the whole payment freeze aside):

1.) Someone contacted their distributor to complain about the pricing they're giving everyone
2.) Their distributor is being a giant PITA about it now regarding availability
3.) Their distributor claims to have 7 sets in stock right now
4.) With 7 sets, the GB price doesn't apply
5.) They're trying to work it out right now

My opinion? Their distributor is stonewalling them because another vendor complained about the price.  I could be wrong.

Either way, they'll be posting some information in this thread later tonight or tomorrow.

Worst case?  Everyone's orders get cancelled and all payments refunded ASAP.

Sorry for the cluster**** guys, I was just trying to hook everyone up.  Totally lame in any case, but at least we know what's going on.

Adam 

WELL....

After calming down I pulled what I typed.

Regardless I'm out near a month now with a mangled rearset. >:(

OK BOYS AND GIRLS

I'm talking to another vendor that will remain nameless...They may be able to help us out, but to put everyones mind at ease they do alot of ducati stuff and it should hopefully go smoothly.

Smoother than this??

(http://www.pinewoodpro.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000002/sandpaper-big.jpg)

Ok......Jokes over. Someone send me my rearsets.

Ok here is the deal, I just got off the phone with the NEW vendor. They wish to remain nameless UNTIL we can guarantee the purchase number.

Sato Rear sets have gone up in price by 45 dollars, they are now including a right side heel protector and that has been reflected in the price.

The new price will be 545 shipped in september.
We will have a better idea of actual date in a couple days, but I have been assured that september is a do-able date.

To get it started they will ask for a deposit of 245.

OK so I know its not the price that we got earlier, but after speaking with this vendor it makes NO sense to me as to HOW they were going to be able to get us the parts at that price.

So if we still can get 10 guys to commit we can still get this done.

if you still want in please list your name: email: color

thanks guys

Again this is a trusted vendor

im not getting put on another list until the current one is resolved

I understand your pain ducsteve.

I have asked for a refund, and I ADVISE everyone of you to do the same. They will not be getting us the parts.

How do you know this?

So, it's possible for someone to get in on the GB that wasn't on the list before all of this?

If so I've got an S4RS that's looking for a set also my MV Senna, you could put me down for 2 sets if they can handle the variation.

they told me that now with them not being able to get the full order that the group buy is over and that the odds aren't good for things to change. Regardless of that, SATO rearsets have just increased in price thus making it impossible for them to get us the parts at the price that was guaranteed. Again, I'm tired of waiting and they led me to believe the situation will not be changing. I just told them I wanted my money back. I'm sorry I dropped out of the group buy but at this point I really have no faith in this company, and will be much happier when the refund posts to my account. (yes I'm checking it daily) But this is also why I'm trying to set up a new group buy, so that I can possibly help everyone that is caught up in this situation.

But like what was posted before, the first mistake was identifing the vendor in the thread. All dealers agree to NOT sell a product below a certain point.
If the dealer caught wind of that they WILL as posted stonewall them. Its a big deal to the companies that the vendors aren't cutting each others throats and selling products that low.
AND with only 7 sets in stock, and NO mention of what color they have it would be impossible for us to fulfill the order and when we fall below the minimum quantity we loose the better price point.
AND on top of all that any NEW order will have a new price on the rearsets and I BET you will see any in-stock sets reflect that price also.

BUT here is the thing that bothers me, TWICE now I have called them and TWICE they have said....yeah we need to post something up to give people a heads up. Yet they don't. They are hiding, and I now with what has been mentioned with the price increase I think they are just hoping it all goes away and people just ask for the money back.

carman, I will ask about what they can do for your MV.

But yes this is completely different, the price has changed and we will be dealing with a new vendor, if you want in you are more then welcome. Everything will be handled through them at the appropriate time.

+1

So you dropping out of the group buy caused them not to have enough people participating?

no...I think Sato not having anywhere near the required number of rear-sets or wanting to sell them (which would piss off the other vendors) would be the main reasons! There are at least 12 of us buying, so Jeese dropping out cannot be the reason.

I've asked for a refund for The Don and myself. Being down here makes us more susceptible...not like I can hope on the bike and go 'talk it out'.

Spider

ahh, that explains everything

No, the fact that they don't know what they're doing is causing people to drop from the GB.

As an aside, it's not like Cycle Sector is quiet about doing group buys for Sato - see here (http://tinyurl.com/5tbjj3)

Adam

yeah, i got that. it was all explained very well. thanks anyways.

Not to crap in anyone's group buy organization, but if things fall apart and there are those who are just looking to get a set of Satos for a great price as an individual without all the hassle of ten other folks being involved, I recommend giving Dan Kyle a call.  (866) 667-4925       

 

+1    Dan Kyle and his crew

    Good deals on Öhlins parts also

I'm out.  :'(

Epic Group buy fail 
That's okay - I used the money to buy a new chain, sprockets, and some other goodies from CA Cycleworks.  [thumbsup]

OK, I want to assure anyone still considering the group buy that the new vendor is a trusted ducati parts dealer and things will go MUCH smoother.

 [thumbsup] Thats where I got mine.

On another note. I really dont see what the big deal is about these Sato's. I have seen better, & ones with more adjustment.

I seen some really nice adjustable Rearsets at the track the other day. A guy that comes up from Blaine, Washington to Race his 650 SV sells them.  http://stores.ebay.com/SV650-Racing-Partsy. $260 bucks. Fully adjustable. I talked to 2 guys that have them on there bikes (both were Suzuki's) They liked them.
For a few dollars more he get them anodized to what ever color u want.

He said that they are going to start making them for Ducati's. Not sure how serious he was about that. It might be worth giving him a call tho.
Ph 604 261 4654

monster's have a smaller range of quality rearsets to choose from it seems.  that and these satos were quite a deal.

anyone get money back yet? just call them to have it cancelled?

I just called and talked to Devin and he's refunding my money. Hopefully will be done today.

Brian

+1 i called today and he will be refunding... keeping a close eye on my card statement

Hey guys, Devin here.

First off, I want to make it clear for those who have not yet asked for a refund that the GB price is still good for those who can wait a few more weeks.  It is not a question of whether or not you will get your rearsets, only when.

Second, I have seen the name Dan Kyle come up a few times and I think you all should know that he is our distributer.  So getting rearsets from him will be no easier than from us.   If they had the rearsets we would have finished this GB already, but apparently these rearsets are a little hard to get a hold of from Sato.

So please, if you can wait a few more weeks for your rearsets... hang in there!  We are in constant contact with our distributer and will update you as soon as we get a more solid estimated date of arrival.  On the other hand, we understand if you want a refund and will return the full amount billed for anyone who requests it.

Thanks!
Dev

P.S. For any of you that may have asked for a refund but are having second thoughts after this post, feel free to call us back.  Your price is still secure.



** Edit**
After reading a few more posts I also want to apologize for not posting up sooner.  It has been just me running the shop for the past week and I have been doing my best to make this GB work. However, I realize that from your standpoint it was impossible to know this without any input from me.  So I want to make myself more available to you all by providing my email address: devin@cyclesector.com  This will be more effective than emailing the sales@cyclesector account which gets dozens of emails every day.

Thanks again!
Dev

I truly hope this finally works out.  I don't want to dick around with getting refunds and getting on a new GB list, I just want my friggin rearsets.  Devin, for the remaining people on this list, it would be greatly appreciated if you updated us very frequently. 

Hey guys, I'm the owner of Cycle Sector.  I just wanted to jump in here and personally apologize for this confusion.  This GB was started by a former employee and was passed on to me once it had already been posted.  We have never had a problem with availably on Sato rearsets so we didn't expect to have this issue but then again we have never sold this many Ducati rearsets. 

Like Devin explained above, we are in constant contact with the distributor and they have already agreed to let us know as soon as any Monster rearsets come in stock and are ready to ship, which should be in a couple weeks.  If you guys want to hold your order with us, we will honor the price of $460 shipped, if you want to cancel we can do that too, but we will not be able to offer these rearsets at this price again.

Again sorry for the frustration with this, but we will get this all sorted out.

Thanks,

D

i just want a new pair of rearsets, my stock right side is mangled and I just want my bike "right" again. It sucks to have to ride like this.....

I just want my make the beast with two backsing bike to work well again.... [bang]

hmm. . . .so where does that leave me?  I wasn't on the original list.  I will just sit back a while maybe save it for a winter mod?

I'm still trying to set together a new group buy. But with what cyclesector is saying I doubt I will get anyone to go with mine. Carmen, call em....I'm sure they would give you my spot that I left since I'm waiting my refund currently

I'll give them a call when I get back to the states in a week or so.

Thanks Jesse

Refunds have been processed.

Dev

Dev -

Who's still in then?

Adam

Not sure what their names are on here.  There are 9 rearsets (6 From this board) still paid for.

-Dev

I'm still in
-Brian

bump, cause i don't want this falling off the first page.   Update?

has everyone that requested a refund received them yet?

yeah mine was credited like 2 days ago.

I'm still trying to get a new group buy setup.

any updates?

Are you a buyer or have you requested a refund? As of this morning still haven't got my funds returned, Diego says it should be today or tomorrow. Apparently more of their funds have been 'held up' by their bank and they don't have any spare funds to return my money....not sure how your rearset orders/deliveries are going.

christ....

I hope things work out for you guys, I would start calling banks and CC companies.

I called them when all this started going sour and got my refun in 3 days. I seriously doubt I will ever do a group buy again.

A classic case of trying to save a dollar ends up costing you more.

Guys -

Apparently the CycleSector is shipping orders by sea:

(http://www.chaobell.net/gallery/d/2198-2/failshipment.jpg)

Adam

I'd be interested if there were to be another group buy  [thumbsup]

has anyone here received there rearsets?

or has everyone asked for refunds (and got them?)

Anyone want to do a group buy on Gilles?  Maybe the wrong place to ask, as this is Sato country.

Hey guys looks like we are finally getting all the rearsets by next week.  We will notify everyone that is still on the list when they ship.

thanks again for your patience.

 I wouldn't jump off the group buy bandwagon just yet.

 Normally, group buys are a great thing. For some reason this one got FUBAR but so long as the dealer involved is reputable there usually isn't a problem.

Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

I asked for and recieved a full refund for the rear sets some time ago. I kept my order with cycle sector for my billet sprocket cover.
The cover arrived last week in excellent condition.

Now it's just too bad that my bike is totalled.  :'(

I'm still in for the group buy if it is still there.  I was on the original list.  I called CycleSector and gave them my info.  I have not heard from them.  Left a couple of messages.  My order was a little different, ordering rearsets for an 2001 S4.

If people are getting their rearsets,  I may have been left out?  Info?

no one has got them yet

last I heard the US distributor has 4 sets in stock. And they are black or gold....


please people get your money back

i give em a week.  last i heard from dan kyle a couple weeks ago they had about 10 sets of em... or something.  whole thing is sorta fubar, only reason im really staying is cause bike is still in service so no rush [bang]

incase any is interested hardracing.com has them for $569.00 . Doesnt come close to the group buy price but service is great and prices on other stuff are pretty good too.

I can't believe this is going on 15 pages. :o  Group buy gone bad.  [popcorn]

You're not kidding.  EPIC GB Fail.  >:(

Adam

I just feel bad for all involved. They are good sets and I know how it feels to have to wait for a part. [bang]  I hope everyone involved finds solace on this topic soon. Best of luck.  :)

got my refund. Diego came through. Hope everyone eventually enjoys their sets.

Just called them, they said Dan Kyle should be receiving 11 rearsets today or so.  They will post up once they are received and shipped.

should get an update soon...

I think I'll buy mine retail and have them in a few days. ;D

good idea :P

called and said they SHOULD be shipped wed.  Me being in california bay area, it should arrive friday.  i have my trackday monday.  holy cutting it close batman, i ordered em months ago for this trackday.  better make it...

Ok order is in.   We will have them all shipped out by this week.  Steve I'll go ahead and have yours drop shipped so you can hopefully get them for your trackday. 

I have an extra set of S4R/S2R black rearsets, if anyone wants em I'll let them go at the $460 shipped price.  Please let me know.

Sorry for the holdup guys!!!

D

DucSteve, did you get your set yet? and how was your track day?

Didn't show up friday, saturday or today

track day was lame. I ended up picking up a nice SV650 trackbike, only to find that the clutch plates are completely toast, wouldn't engage at all

Bummer,  did they get you a tracking number at least?
And hopefully the next track day will be better  :-\  I've heard clutch jobs on those aren't too bad, FWIW...

Called em, they said that the rearsets are being shipped to cycle sectors shop today, hoping to receive them tomorrow. Which they will then proceed to ship them the second they arrive. Hopefully this will all be over soon...

I dont generally get frustrated, but this is almost getting comical.  I just want my make the beast with two backsing rearsets.

WTF?   how do we go from this, to the sets being shipped to cycle sector today?  The sets are only in if they are in!

the order was in from kyle racing to be then shipped to cycle sector. sounds like it took a week for them to actually get it shipped. i'll be call them today to see if they did get them yesterday as they had planned

I was always taught to under-promise and over-deliver ... apparently these guys are the over-promise and under-deliver school of thought.


Any word?

Word is they are still waiting for them to be shipped to their store, and they had no tracking number...

 [roll]

christ.....I'm sorry guys I'm hoping you get your parts.....at some time in the future.

Anyone here interested in purchasing a bridge?  ;D

Friend of mine called up kyle racing, and they did confirm that they shipped em earlier this week

did you say monorail?!?!
(http://www.lardlad.com/assets/episodes/season4/9f10-big.jpg)

I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum, it put them on the map!

(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk291/mediascope/Misc/map.jpg)

Adam

PUAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA

Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

Well done smitty, well done

Came in today... Will put them on tonight/tomorrow.  Finally, sigh of relief time for some [drink] [drink] [drink]

damn that makes me feel real good...maybe i'll get mine late this week or early next...

oh, yeah, lets see them pregnant doges Steve!!

Directions make it look overly complicated. Need to purchase some loctite and find some time to do it.

 8) Got mine today, finally! They look to be high quality part. Now I need to get them installed.

Installed today, took about hour and half, spending half the time just figuring out where everything goes. Bolts up easy, perfect fit. Need to make a few adjustments with right side, and still have to get the rear brake to set off brake light (dont really use it much though not a big deal). Fit and finish is great. Be sure to use loctite and check the bolts/nuts after first ride or two

Got mine today!   Hells Yeah!  They look really nice, feel sturdy as hell, gotta bring some tools home from work to put em on.  Finally!

Glad to hear it's (... finally ...) working out for everyone  [thumbsup]  [moto]

Adam

so much easier to drag knee with the raised pegs ;D freeway onramps are awesome now [laugh]

any word on getting another group buy run?

Holy thread-from-the-dead!

I think it's safe to say another group buy won't be happening.  Try one of the DMF sponsors!  [thumbsup]

Cheers,
Adam
