New 1/4 Turn Throttle Tube from TM

[OldGeezer]

Order placed, got a T as well, many thanks for the great products and service Sandro.

 

[SEXT9]

Placed mine as well. Thanks for offering it!

 

[mowgoli84]

I'll order tomorrow.

Right after i order my Russian mail order bride.

Thanks for hooking us up Sandro [up]

All sound good guys! Thanks for the T-orders as well! [up] We're glad to do group buys on anything that we can get this much interest in. We saw this as an opportunity to do so since the long throttle action is such a nuisance on these bike and for a few bucks they can be cured!

mow: Let me know if there is a group buy on those brides!

 

[50dro]

Just want to say that I'm personally excited about this mod! I rode into work and paid attention to whether I hit the stops while laying into the throttle...NOPE!!! Have to make a concerted effort to get there (and it's nearly physically impossible if you don't plan ahead)! This will be a nice addition for sure!

 

[Tommy the Cat]

I didn't put my name on the list but I did just order mine. Hopefully they come in soon...

 

[Petedawg]

i'm in too. Will place order soon.

just wanted to let you know that we have surpassed the number of paid orders required for the group buy which means there will be no reason for us to postpone the order from Twin Motorcycles beyond 6/24/2013! [up]

THANK YOU!!!!

If you still would like to get in on the group buy please be sure to place your order by 6/24/13 or sooner!

 

[50dro]

These tubes should be to your door (if in the States) during the week of 7/8/2013 if all goes as expected. As always, I'll keep you all posted.

Keep in mind that no orders for the group buy will be taken past 6/24/2013. If you need to make other arrangements with us please contact us before then.

I'm still a fairly new rider, and even so to my XB12Scg (riding 2 months). Is this a mod you would recommend for a new rider, or should I just leave it alone till another time?


Cheers!

 

[50dro]

hmmm...Good question. I guess it depends. The stock tube is somewhat of a throttle limiter as it can be difficult to reach WOT sometimes with it. It really depends on your comfort level your control and probably a million other things really. This mod is to get to WOT quicker...as a new rider if you don't want to flirt with WOT then leave it. Ultimately, it's up to you to control the bike and modulate the throttle. I don't think this will make it more difficult to ride.

Ronin- I would still do it now. GB is a great price. Aluminum is better then the plastic tube. It is made to work with your bike instead of needing you to modify stuff. You just have to take some extra care until you get used to the throttle again. The fact that you are getting to WOT faster could add danger to an unsuspecting person, but the fact that you have to rotate your arm around less can enhance safety as well. Dro is right. It is your choice.

As much as it pains us to do this, we have to regretfully cancel this group buy. This product has been removed from our site.

Without getting into all the details, there were some mis-communications on the pricing from the manufacturer that had us off by quite a bit. So much so that it would have cost us money to deliver them to you.

Those of you that have placed an order already will be given a full refund in the next day or so. If you ordered other products along with the throttle tubes you will be given the option to keep those products on your order or be given a full refund for those as well. If you ordered other products, please send us an email with your selection if you don't receive one from us first.

Please be patient as there are many orders to go through and refund. If you don't see your refund in a few days, please contact us and we'll make sure we correct the issue.

Please accept our sincere apologies for this. We wish this were not the case. Any questions...please ask.

We hop you will consider doing business with 5-0dro again in the future.

wow was just about to order one. so you guys are not even going to carry this item at all?

 

[stensg]

So what's the actual price?
How do i get just my shirt?
First thing that comes to mind with price jump its there was so much interest so fast they figure price could go up. Hope that is not the case

If the twin motorcycle guys can't run a good business you should drop them 50. Stuff like this is bad publicity...

 

[50dro]

so you guys are not even going to carry this item at all?

At this point no. If we did they'd be around $125 and that seems awfully high to us...Don't think many would buy them at that price.

Do you means w/o the group buy? It would be around $125 shipped
I'll PM you about the shirt if you still want it.
I don't think that was the case. Certainly not on our end, and not on TM's end. More-so on the manufacturer's end. I think they had old pricing etc etc.

As said above, I don't think it was on TM. They're good people and we've had a really good relationship thus far. In this case there was a drastic change and we got caught in the middle of it unfortunately. This was the only way we could find to get out of the increase w/o loosing our shirts.

It is bad publicity and for that I am truly sorry. I'm nearly sick over it honestly. I was really excited about it for myself and it was a good deal for you all but it wasn't meant to be. I'm just glad that no-one had to lose any money over it...Just a bunch of time on my end...

Thanks to all of you that were interested!

 

[50dro]

All refunds have been processed. If you haven't received yours by the end of Wednesday, please contact us.

 

[crawfo]

I was about to jump on the band wagon and get one as well. Too bad i guess. You're still the man 50. No one else tries to set this stuff up so your efforts are awesome and noted!

 

[50dro]

Thanks crawfo!! [up]
