GPR Stabilizers

[Puzzled]

Yes, about a week longer. The last time I spoke with GPR they mentioned they were busy as it is the beginning of the season for those of us in the North East. My last order was towards the end of the riding season and shipped real fast. I guess this is why they don't quote ship times/dates.

So when is the next order then? Anyone from current order having second thoughts ?

 

[Loki]

Yeah mine is in at home, fantastic that i get to use it in a month...

 

[netty2424]

Loki, yours delivered to your house already?

 

[Loki]

Yes. Girlfriend said it got there.

 

[netty2424]

Interesting. Nothing at my place and the lightnings were supposed to be in stock. Maybe it'll show today?

 

[Puzzled]

So when is the next order then?

Once the current order arrives in its entirety I'll start a new thread with current pricing.

At this point in time I'm in no hurry as I'm not thrilled with the way GPR handled this order. Combine that with the price increase and there isn't much incentive for me to distribute their product.

I'd like some information in regards to my current order. I keep hearing 2-3 days and I've been hearing that since the 22nd of May. I see I have been charged for several stabilizers however I don't know for which units. I have one customer who has received his so I know at least one shipped. How about a thorough update like what has shipped, what I've been billed for and when will my order be completed?

first off i would like to say thanks to mike. i know this deal didn't go smooth. i also know i had hounded you too.
but it looks like i got my gpr on wednesday of last week 5/30 it just went to my billing address instead. if loki didn't say anything i would not have checked it till the 15th.
so loki thanks for the heads up.

oh also almost forgot i had ran into a problem with the spacer for the frame mount so if your mount looks like this

you will have to grind the little spacer that goes around the bolt that goes into the airbox

Mine was on my porch today when I got home. Just picked it up.

Thanks for the heads up on the spacer Squidbuellie.

Thanks Mike for following up on it.

 

[netty2424]

Squid, you happen to know the torque specs for the handle bar bolts?

 

[netty2424]

I've got two clearance issues on mine. It's rubbing in two places.

1. On the back of the GPR, it's rubbing the bar clamp:

2. Where the arm coming off the GPR bends, it's hitting the bar clamp. You can see the mark at the end of the allen wrench.

Anyone have any clearence issues, if so, what adjustments did you make?

 

[squidbuellie]

did you tighten the frame pinch bolt before you tightened the stabilizer? if so that would explain why the arm hit the top clamp. but would not explain why the bottom is hitting. i think ill go check mine.
i almost want to say there having some machining issues.
its funny earlier today i talked with Randy at gpr and he kinda gave me the song and dance about older frames being a little different from early to later buells

 

[squidbuellie]

**** this ****...looks like mine is going to do the same thing

im going to email randy the pictures now..
netty i suggest you do the same

Lets hope i dont have any problems with mine when i get home... Wont be able to check it out till then.

 

[netty2424]

did you tighten the frame pinch bolt before you tightened the stabilizer?

Pinch bolt was the last thing I tightened.

im going to email randy the pictures now..
netty i suggest you do the same

I'll do the same squid.

In the instructions, it says to call if there are some clearance issues so maybe it's a common quick fix. But there definitley shouldn't be any rubbing underneath, or the arm hitting.

All of those parts have to essentially be on the same plane or it creates a binding of sorts which causes the rubbing were seeing. I'm guessing the issue is in the bar clamp.

 

[jcrosby4288]

yeah so i havent gotten mine really would like to know what is up... just want an update on mine

 

[Puzzled]

^^ I'll check with GPR. I thought they all shipped. Some at the end of two weeks ago and some last week.

This is the down side to drop shipping, I have no information in regards to shipping and tracking.

 

[netty2424]

Puzzled, how efficient is Randy and his guys at GPR handling issues like the one squid and I are having?

 

[Loki]

As far as everything has been going, im going to say not very.

Im not to pleased so far about them.
