I cant rightfully get a group buy price until I can throw down a serious number to my contact. If I come at him with ok I need 10 dash pannels, 10 sets of inner fairing pannels, 3 front fenders, and 3 huggers now what can you do.... then I am more apt to get a good deal if I say hey the guys are interested what price can you get me... hes not going to want to budge too much as he may sell 3 pieces or 30 but nothing is definate. Follow me? Feel free to contact him yourself and see what he says. I know he gives me good prices because I have bought thousands of dollars worth from him and have ordered parts for my ducati's and my honda's. info@spiralspinner.com

jackbirdxx · 05-21-2008, 12:21 AM

I understand bear... that's the way of the world - agreed!

So right now, I guess there are only a few of us that are interested in the CF? Maybe you could make a tally ... and keep adding a reply to this thread as an update? That way... we'll all know where we stand, and what more we may need to go before you throw on the plaid saleman jacket.

Thanks again for the pics bud!

So the inner fairings are 2 pcs... not 4 like the stock? Kewl.

JBxx out for the evening... ZZZzzzzz!

cbrbear · 05-21-2008, 2:04 AM

YEah they are a single piece which has proven to be a lil difficult in mounting. basically you have to remove your handle bars in order to clear the piece and even then its a challenge.

Frank851 · 05-21-2008, 12:00 PM

cbrbear:
What are the 2 CF pieces on the right in the photo of the XX CF parts you posted above? Are they the pair of frame heat guards? Where do they fit on the bike? The pair of upper fairing inners look great. Count me in on one set of the upper fairing inners in CF. I will let you know on any other parts that I would want as part of the group buy within a day or so. Thanks.

cbrbear · 05-21-2008, 8:16 PM

The traingle looking pieces on the right are frame covers. They go directly below the seat where the frame area meets the subframe and goes down towards the rear sets.

XXCESS · 05-22-2008, 5:46 AM

still can't find a dash cover for the digital dash

apart from this one from Honda Australia
Honda MPE - Window Title

Don't think it would match the fairing inners from Spiral spinner tho

cbrbear · 05-22-2008, 2:18 PM

yeah that piece is carbon look meaning not real carbon... but I am willing to bet that A-tech makes it for the newer dash. I will ask to find out!

XXCESS · 05-23-2008, 4:30 AM

That's why I've not bought one. If A-tech do the newer dash then I will be in on the group buy for sure, on a dash & fairing inner panels.
Thanks for this

cbrbear · 05-23-2008, 10:39 AM

A-tech apparently makes the dash for the 97-98, and 99-01, but not for anything newer... bummer...

Frank851 · 05-23-2008, 11:21 AM

cbrbear:
Could you check on that again for the dash? I thought the digital speedo style came out on the 01 model. That would mean A-tech only makes them for 97-98 and 99-00? Thanks.

colwyn · 05-23-2008, 11:53 AM

put me down for a set of inner fairing panels if the group buy ever goes ahead

cbrbear · 05-23-2008, 2:36 PM

Not sure then but whatever the year if you have digital dash they dont make a pannel for it.

cbrbear · 05-23-2008, 2:48 PM

OK here we go.... group buy time!!!
cbr_bear@yahoo.com paypal id, include year of your bike if ordering dash pannel

inner pannels-400 shipped
hugger-200 shipped
dash pannel-130 shipped

Expect 6 weeks delivery time from group order date. END DATE FOR ORDERS IS JUNE 6TH.

XXCESS · 05-23-2008, 11:10 PM

I'm in Australia is there a different price for delivery outside the US?
I think I will get the fairing panels & do summit bout the dash later

bunbun9090 · 05-24-2008, 12:43 AM

Hi I'm from Singapore, the amount is in EURO or USA? interested t get the inner panels.

cbrbear · 05-24-2008, 9:02 AM

Price is in USD. For those outside the us, the price remains the same however shipping would be extra and I couldnt tell you exactly until I receive the items and go to ship them.

Frank851 · 05-28-2008, 7:17 PM

If we are interested in any other parts could you order them at the same time at a discount or is the buy only for the
inner pannels-$400 shipped
hugger-$200 shipped
dash pannel-$130 shipped as posted? Thanks.

cbrbear · 05-28-2008, 9:10 PM

well the best he will do for me is a 10 percent discount and combine shipping so I figure it comes out to what is quoted. I can get them in the future probably for a good price as I constantly deal with this guy but I dont want to waste a year or two with hey can you get me this, or can you get me that specially if I get nothing out of it but time spent ya know.

cbrbear · 05-28-2008, 9:15 PM

currently if you were to buy the inner pannels at just the 10 percent discount it would be 415 plus shipping... so really even that looks like I am comming out of pocket. I just put those numbers out there and I will honor them as I know I can get him to budge more but I need more than just one order and as of yet I dont have a single order....dash actual cost is 144 plus shipping, and dash is actually 216 plus shipping... so yeah I am sure thoughwith a group buy meaning at least 10 orders I can get the prices where I want them.

XXCESS · 05-29-2008, 5:42 AM

I really appreciate what you have done, having done similar things here in Oz I know it's a thankless task a lot of the time.
I really want the fairing inners, but without the Digital dash, I'm not so sure

Also I have no idea what the cost of freight will be from the U.S. to Australia.
However, if the group buy is going ahead, then I will commit to buy a pair of the fairing inners,
Thanks for your help

CanadianBird · 05-30-2008, 12:24 PM

cbrbear, I e-mailed the address you gave but there is no PayPal set up or information on buying. Exactly how do we purchase what we want? Thanks

cbrbear · 05-30-2008, 1:18 PM

you sent me an email and on june 6th I will when group buy closes you will be sent an invoice through paypal for your order. For those purchasing outside of the US there will be additional shipping charges that will be induced once I receive the items.

cbrbear · 06-07-2008, 10:26 AM

Group buy is closed and only 2 emails which means its pretty much not worth having a group buy. For the two that emailed me feel free to contact Mr Yu his website is spiralspinner and email is info@spiralspinner.com he can help you with your order.

CanadianBird · 06-07-2008, 11:37 AM

Thank, cbrbear, I visited the web site and made some inquiries. Oh!, to be a bottomless money pit.

cbrbear · 06-07-2008, 3:08 PM

I know he has some awesome stuff for the XX in there from antlion or whatever. I just received a package from him yesterday with my active quick throttle, new right hand controls, and chain adjusters, along with my new windscreen from majical racing that is carbon/clear!!! He is very good with communication and shipping prices. When you email him. His name is Yu Hirayama or something like that and just let him know how you got in contact with him and are looking to purchase parts and he should hook you up!! Keep in mind it could take a few weeks to get the parts because they are made once ordered not sitting on the shelf waiting.

CanadianBird · 06-07-2008, 6:43 PM

Beautiful and it appears more than just bling. Does he have one for the cbr1100? What did it cost you landed? Please. Time from order to receiving? Thanks, Cheers, CB

cbrbear · 06-08-2008, 12:50 AM

What specific parts are you asking about?

CanadianBird · 06-08-2008, 12:02 PM

I've rear sets that are beautiful, and the billet gas "do da" in the pic you posted. The Can. $ is relatively strong to the Yen so the issue is postage. I emailed him and asked about a cf dash. He has some serious bling for a Bird. Do we have any members from Japan?? Not Yanks living there but Japanese?
I added that web site to my favorites. Go look at the rear sets. If I wasn't a ludite I'd attach the images I'm talking about.

cbrbear · 06-09-2008, 1:46 AM

I have gilles rear sets they are the best I think! The shipping is not an issue his prices are VERY reasonable!
