Machined T6 Aluminum Axle Sliders...Looking for interest in a group buy

[flaya564]

I contacted the seller of these on ebay, to see if he would be interested in a group buy.

These are for an 1125R and he said he can go off his brother's xb12s for dimensions.

He's asking $85 on ebay for the set but is willing to do a price break if he get at least 10 people interested.

If you are interested, PM me so I can get a count going. When I get at least 10, I will find out what sort of price break we will be looking at.

I know I'm interested if the price is right. we shall see.

[xtremelow]

Mark me down for a set[up]

[BuddhaBuell]

been eyeballin some for BamBam
count me in as well
;)

[xtremelow]

I shot him an email to show more interest as well

[ArmyMP09]

I'm in. [up]

[blackflash]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300408683815&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT

[xtremelow]

Yeah he emailed me back and already offers them for XBs for the $85 shipped like blackfish's link shows so a group buy might net us at $65 shipped which would be great.

[Miami78]

I'm interested. Any word if he can powdercoat them?

[flaya564]

I've got 7 if blackfish is in. I'm going to call him shortly to see what the price is going to be.

[jreinke]

If these fit an 1125CR id be intrested.

[flaya564]

UPDATE:
10+ orders $70 shipped
20+ orders $65 shipped!!!

CAN'T BEAT $65 FOR ALUMINUM SLIDERS

•Polished

•No hardware visible-smooth cap on both ends
Tightened with special tool.

•Back axle machined to ride on axle tube - does not touch swingarm.

•Front sliders come with a punched felt washer so no direct contact onto the forks

•Stainless Steel Rods - no rusting

[xtremelow]

Mark me down for 2 sets at the $70 price and if we can hit $65 mark m for 3 sets. Either way I will do one set as a Giveaway.

[flaya564]

VERY COOL... I'm hoping to get to the 20 mark.

[flaya564]

You know you want a set.

[Paniller]

Count me in. (just PM me if I forget, and I'll send payment wherever)

[flaya564]

The 1125R sliders will work with the CR.

As for the powdercoating, He can get it done in black but needs at least 5 orders to out source the work. Add $10 to the price.

So, a grand total of 10 or 20 orders XB or 1125, powdercoated or not, will get us the $70 - $65 prices, SHIPPED

[jmcrutch]

Count me in for an aluminum set.

[blackflash]

The 1125r front sliders are the same as the xb .The rears are different.I just want to clear this up.
Both cr and r rears are the same.There is a small difference between the two but my design works with both.:D

[Miami78]

Cool, I'm in either way, but if we get enough to get a group powdercoated I'd like to do that...assuming this special tool will not scrape off the powder.

[flaya564]

We're over 10 interested. Can't beat 65 bucks.

[xtremelow]

I say give the guys on the forum till next Friday and see where we are, then we can go ahead and do an order next weekend or that following Monday. Hopefully we will be above the 20 mark!

[acepilot79]

I'm interested in a pair, black if it is good job and wont come off when I put it on.

[ArmyMP09]

Yeah add another set for me so 2 for me total. I know we can get over 20![up]

[reebis]

I'm in.

[flaya564]

We can go til next friday. I'm glad I'm not the only one excited about these. I was going to make the skateboard wheel ones but for a little more money, these are slick.

[ArmyMP09]

same, I was gunna use skateboard wheels, but after getting some and test fitting it, ehh doesnt look decent so I'll just do the group buy! h

[RT Performance]

Lol you guys crack me up blackflash is the one building them.
I have a set if his 1125 crash bars and toe pegs coming.
Turns out my tool and die buddy can't make mine .
So I need a set for my 1125 and an extra set fork. Sliders

[flaya564]

is that a full set (front & back) plus an extra fork set, for your 1125?

[flaya564]

we're at 13 possibly 14.

[flaya564]

Bump!!! Keeping this fresh since we're so close to 20.

[xtremelow]

For sure 20 would save me $15 even though I would be spending another $65. Sort of like gettting the 3rd set for $50 :D

[ArmyMP09]

So how many people we got for black powdercoating part of the group buy? I'm interested for the 2 sets I want.

[Miami78]

I'd like my set powdercoated, as long as the tool used to install them won't screw up the finish...

[ArmyMP09]

Agree with miami on that.

[Baal]

I'm assuming that he doesn't do a slotted set for stands, correct? I'm pretty sure I'm up for an XB set, powdercoated black for the back, silver front. 'Zat work?

Okay, since I'm being picky, any way the silver one can be brushed, instead of polished?

[cool]

[flaya564]

He said the tool should not ruin the powdercoat.. so far there are 4 and a half interested in powdercoating.

RTperformance = are you looking for a set or ?

[Evil Mechanic]

Damn, I just need a front set in black. Anyone need just the rears in black?

[xtremelow]

Baal only needs a black set for the back.

[RT Performance]

Yes I need a set for my 1125 and a pair for the front.
Not sure if I will count here he's already making my frame sliders and toe pegs. Figured I call tomorrow and have him add them.
No Color on mine

[Evil Mechanic]

Ok well ill take the black front from Baal's set and he can ship them right to you joel since ill see ya eventually. Haha still buyin parts for a bike I don't even know if I'm keepin!

[flaya564]

That's a shame, lol. I'm trying to get up that way this weekend. we shall see what this week hold.

[Baal]

Now, now. Baal needs a full set, just black on the back only.

Actually, like a lot of this stuff, "need" is a nebulous thing.

[Evil Mechanic]

Damn Baal, you're effing up the rotation! Pass it to the left!

[flaya564]

I've emailed him about you thre:RT, Baal and Evil, to find out the possibilities and cost. With the mix and match, that is 5 for powdercoating.

Just a few more and we all win :D $65.

[Evil Mechanic]

Rep to ya for puttin in all the work man [up]

[flaya564]

Thanks, I figured this was the best time to get the sliders...at the beginning of the riding season.

[flaya564]

4 MORE TO GET THEM AT 65 A SET!

[ArmyMP09]

Come on only 4 more sets!! I know more people out there need them!

There's got to be one of you wanting a set of sliders.?.

[thunderstormgrowl]

I would like a set of black powdercoated sliders.
I read this thread really fast.

So the cost is $65 for front and rear powdercoated black and shipped?

[flaya564]

The polished aluminum sliders front & back will be $65 shipped.
Powdercoated Black Sliders front & back will be $75.

[thunderstormgrowl]

Put me down for a pair of Black front & back sliders.

[flaya564]

NICE 3 more to go!!!!

[braindead]

i will take a set in black front and rear

[thunderstormgrowl]

What is this special tool that we need to tighten the sliders?

[Baal]

What is this special tool that we need to tighten the sliders?

I'm guessing that comes with 'em?

Should we/have we posted this up at B-board.com? I know better than BadWeb...

[ArmyMP09]

flaya, u got me down for 2 sets black right? Just checking, since one of my sets is going to a friend.

[xtremelow]

So what is the counter at now?

And I am also interested in this "Special" tool

[thunderstormgrowl]

It is probably a gamma bomb to turn you into the Hulk, then just tighten with you hand. :)

I make my self laugh

[xtremelow]

I am guessing a small rubber strap wrench

[thunderstormgrowl]

Ya that was my other thought.

[flaya564]

We're at 18!

Yes i have you at 2 Army and xtremelow with 3. When we get to 20, I'm going to PM every one on my list to get the model of the bikes and let you know about your cost and payment info.

From what I understand, on most sliders, there is a hex bolt aimed down on the slider to hold it on to the rod that is threaded through the axle. With his, this hex bolt is hidden with an additional piece of aluminum to give a clean look. Don't quote me on it, I'll double check. He calls the tool a dowel.

[flaya564]

I thought about posting it on B-Board but I rarely go over there and didn't want to be that guy that pops into sell something.

Was hoping people would come over here for them :D

[Baal]

Looking into the propriety of it right now.[up]

[flaya564]

The more the merrier but this group buy will end on saturday sometime so I can get the information to

The stickers are on their way.

[Paniller]

You have me included in the list, right? I need me some sliders.

[flaya564]

Yup, 1 set polished

[Terp_Bueller]

I'll take a set for an '08 1125R, polished aluminum.

[braindead]

i forgot to mention for xb if it matters

[RT Performance]

don't post this on badweb they will freak.
I paid for mine hopefully have them buy the weekend and yes my 1.5 sets count

[flaya564]

Got you down on the list Terp
Thanks Braindead, I was going to message everyone soon about what model they have.

19

[Baal]

Got a pass to post up over at B-board.com. So, look for some more takers.

(Done)

[drawkward]

Saw your post Baal. I'm in for a set for an '08 1125R. The swinger economy set I bought from DarkHorse fell off while I was riding....that's with the nuts past the rod ends AND loctite. Hoping these work better.

How do we go about paying and shipping and whatnot.

Oh....I'm DrAwkwArD btw...same on BB and BadWeb.

[xtremelow]

Bamm that make 20 right[confused]

[ArmyMP09]

I hope!! Really want them soon![up]

[flaya564]

THAT MAKES 20!!!!

DRAWKWARD: I will be sending PM's to everyone who was interested in the sliders.


Still open til Saturday.

[drawkward]

Badass.

I started doing track days and not having a swingarm slider was really bothering me.

That's a hell of a price for these too.

[flaya564]

I just PM'd everyone on my list. let me know if I missed you.

RECAP:
$65 A SET POLISHED SHIPPED
$75 A SET BLACK SHIPPED

I screwed up on your price owed, let me know...(a lot of cut and paste)

[jmcrutch]

Soo, what happens if he doesn't get all twenty orders in? Is he going to refund the money? Also, how is our order quantity not an integer?

[ArmyMP09]

Can we track down who said they wanted in and didn't pay yet?? I want my sliders, if we come up one short I'll buy another set just to make up the difference so we all can get our sliders. Lemme know what the count is so we can make sure he gets started right away.

[Lando]

Hope I'm not too late on this but I would a set for a xb12scg in natural aluminum. If brushed finish is possible, that would be great.
Thanks

[blackflash]

Thanks for your payments.The 6061 t6 metal and stainless rod was ordered thursday for this huge order.I keep some metal in stock but with normal orders and then this added on I needed quite a bit more.It will arrive early this week.They will ship in the order of the payments.Black ones will go to the powder guy end of the week and will be back the following friday.He's a good friend of mine and does it part time.That why I got the 10 dollar rate.Im not making a dime off it.Make sure that all your payments have notes containing the bike type and finish.I dont have the time to email everyone that I recieved payments.The cuttoff on this price is this monday at noon.
:D

[xtremelow]

I just shot you an order for an addition set for a 2009 1125CR, it is for the monthly giveaway.

Hope you got a chance to see it before you ship out my other 3 sets that I ordered[smirk][up]

[RT Performance]

Ok I have my set for my 1125r and the toe pegs for it installed.
I must say it is so easy (as gieco would put it) a Cave man could do it.
I will grab some pics and post them up later for you all.I really like they are preset width and the tool makes it a snap to put them on and look awsome.

[flaya564]

Thank you for the update, just knowing someone approves of the quality of his work makes this so much easier.

[Baal]

You already have yours? [confused] Not that I'm jealous, but...wait! Yes I am!

[flaya564]

He had ordered from him before hand I believe and added onto his order when this all started.

Can't ask for anything less. Thanks for the update. :)

[Baal]

Thanks, blackflash. Looking forward to 'em! [up]

[091125CRblack]

Thanks!! [cool]:D

[blackflash]

Fronts are roughed in for all bikes.
I will cut the rear material needed tonight or tommorrow And hopefully have them roughed in by friday.The powder guy will get them saturday.He said mid week they will be ready.
I already had one dilemma .The saw motor blew up but I got that fixed.AH fun

[drawkward]

Hey BF, you think these will be ready and received by April 24th? Non-powdercoated version that it...

[blackflash]

Oh ya I hope to ship polished ones next mid week. I'm going to the buell meet at the gap. They'll be done before I leave.

[Terp_Bueller]

Headed to the Gap on April 30th. Hope to have them by then...to not use them. :)

[blackflash]

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5723_20100407180501_L.jpg


Progress
All fronts are done except polish .That will be last.
Powdered ones will be sand blasted.

[flaya564]

Excellent!! Thanks for letting us know of your progress.

[BuddhaBuell]

way to go blackflash! [up]
I am sure we are all stoked for our 'BlackFlash' axle sliders!
:D
+1 for setting us up with some sick gear!!
:)

[Baal]

Cool pix. Thanks! [up]

[ASH]

Is it too late to get a set at $65...

[Fireplug111]

Yeah, I wish I could jump in on standby for a black set myself :)

[flaya564]

From Blackflash:


I'm going on a trip next week so I pulled most my ads off eBay . I'm not accepting parts orders till . If they want a set at the 70$ price they can put the order in for polished only and they will ship the 24th. Everyone elses will ship mid late next week.

[blackflash]

Off to powder .Polishing and shipping starts monday.

[xtremelow]

Update, Blackflash sent me a confirmation my order has been ship, so the others who ordered polished sets should expect the same soon. [up]

[ArmyMP09]

So excited for these. Thanks for all these updates!

[blackflash]

Most all polished shipped today except for 1 1125r slider set.It will ship tommorrow.

In the kit ther is two felt washers for the front fork sliders .Use them on each side of the pucks.There is also adjustment in the threaded rod if needed.
I just wanted to state this as well. So if they dont tighten up just take the jam nut and loosen it and reajust the rod to what you need .I measured front 9.25 on my brothers xb and 14.25 for the rear . Thats what I set them at.I havent had any fitment issues for the xb models.I even sold a set for a xt with no problems.The axle tubes are all the same .On the 1125 series the axle is just flipped backwards.Any little issues that might occur for the not so mechanic style individual should email me at the instuction manual address provided.

I wish to thank you all for your patients and your honesty.None of the paypal money has been cashed as of now and will not until everyones happy.

Powder will hopefully be done wendsday night.If all looks good I will hopefully ship thursday early morning all the powder.
I leave for my trip to the gap thursday morning so I will be cruching for time.I will also be going to atlanta for the ama races.I will be back tuesday or wendsday morning.I will answer emails if needed in the mountains off of my iphone when reception is available.

[flaya564]

How's that for customer satisfaction? Thank you very much for the update.

[091125CRblack]

Thanks! Can't wait to get em!

[Miami78]

Blackflash, if you are hurting on time for the powdercoated sets you can wait on mine till after you get back if that helps. I got tasked with a short notice tdy and am away from home for the next 5 weeks, so no riding till I get back at the end of May. Mine are the powdered set going to the 89138 zip in Vegas.
Thanks!

[blackflash]

I promised and I will keep my promise as long as the powder guy holds up.

[Baal]

Good on ya, mate. [up]

[Paniller]

Mine arrived today. They look amazing, well machined. Thanks man.

I haven't installed them yet, but I'd imagine there'll be no problems[up]

[Livers]

Just got mine this morning. 5 minute installation, couple drops of Loctite just in case. Dry fit showed I didn't have to adjust anything, just checked that the locknut was tight.

Done. Perfect.[up]

[drawkward]

Got mine in yesterday. Install was a breeze. May throw some loctite on them as my DHM rear sliders literally fell of the bike while I was riding...kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

Fit and finish is fantastic on there. I may scour up that beautiful polish job though...not a fan of shiny things, lol. Thanks Black...this was a great price on a fantastic set of well made sliders. Much appreciated.

[flaya564]

Got mine today. Nicely done.

He wanted me to let you guy know that the Powdercoated ones weren't finished today so they will ship Tuesday after he gets back from The Dragon

Wish I could be at the dragon.

[ArmyMP09]

I hope to get mine before I ship out for Iraq.. My second is going to a friend as a bday gift.. I don't want to make him wait for 6 months until I'm home on r and r. Fingers crossed!

[blackflash]

Just got back early this morning.I have to pick the parts up tommorrow and go through them.

[091125CRblack]

Beautiful. Can't wait!

[Baal]

's all good.

[blackflash]

off to powder guy

[BuddhaBuell]

thanks Drew and Joel, my 'BlackFlash' axle sliders arrived today [up]

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5248_20100423124630_L.jpg

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5248_20100423130120_L.jpg

nice work, great fit!

hope to never use them :D

next week will bring my PolkieJoe timing covers! [up](fingers crossed)

happy happy, joy joy!
:)

[Baal]

Got mine, got 'em on. Pix to follow. I cut a donut from a piece of inner tube to pad between the sllder head and the swingarm on the left side. It only appeared to make contact at the front edge, but I figured better to not leave a mark. Nice pieces! [up]

[091125CRblack]

Got mine saturday, thanks!

[Evil Mechanic]

Got mine today. I only got the front set because i already had the dark horse rears. They fit great. Thanks again!

[blackflash]

Any interest in another group buy? 10 setd sold will get 70$ shipped aluminum polished.1125r,1125cr & xb models.

[Terp_Bueller]

Blackflash,

How about a group buy offer for frame sliders or bar ends? I want to add a set of frame sliders to my 1125R.

[jasoncummings64]

[blackflash]
