so we're starting a relationship with a vendor...

[crashtd]

what sort of group buys are you folks itching to do :O

-:banana

[BigMille]

PC3......

Acualign rearsets......

i am looking for a double bubble windshield..:thumbup

I have the Puig, I like it:thumbup

[novos]

I vote for rearsets also, but ones that relocate the rear master.

[shannon]

I just want a windscreen available in something other than dark smoke or light smoke. How about chrome, iridium, or even red.

[crashtd]

novos where are you from? i recognize that bike behind you in your avatar :confused

[tdogg]

PC3......

Acualign rearsets......

I need to stop spending money though :confused:.

[novos]

crash - i'm from the OC area

[crashtd]

that might be it...i did my undergrad at UCSB...looks like a guy named Chris i think...he's big with the LA toy ride. Races a RC51, tracks a TLR :O

[crashtd]

that's a fucking great shot btw :thumbup love the color effect :drool

i think photoshop fridays are going to be a big success here :laugh

[MASHMAN]

PC3 and maybe an airbox should my incompetence really hinder any future attempts at making one of my own

[MY06RSVR]

Renegade airbox and PC3

[V8-Powered]

Stella Artois or Kronenberg

[Racer X]

STM slipper clutch, Brembo clutch and brake master cylinders. 100mm piston kits.

Look at Yoyodine and see if they offer any specials for group buys.

[The_Sav]

I'll put in 1 vote for the Stella and Acculigns. Only problem with them is he doesn't make the shift and brake levers for Aprilias. They are sweet looking rearsets though.

[carbon kid]

SLIPPER CLUTCH and DYNO quickshifters

[Spudbud]

id go for the Dyno quick shifter and the Acculigns

[TarkMalbot]

Things like Cans, Air Box, PC3, Sprockets are just a few commond things that spring to mind.

[little1uk]

Are we any closer to the relationship with a vendor ? i gotta get some stuff to change the standard look... :thumbup

[crashtd]

errrmm...working on it....really, i'm a huge procrastinator...keep bothering me, and it'll get done more quickly :laugh

-:banana

[little1uk]

Cheers crashtd :thumbup :biggrin :thumbup

[crashtd]

which, btw...for you non-americans, if you've got a local aprilia or parts vendor you've got a good relationship with, tell them to give me a holler, i don't suspect a US vendor will be too helpful for you guys after shipping is all said and done. :banghead

we've got three sites currently, almost 10,000 members total they would be catering to.

-:banana

[LostInGJ]

How about clutch covers (w/clear window), CF stuff, sprockets, PCIII's, rearsets, tires, Ohlins rear shocks (to replace what comes with our models). Thanks for the site man!

[MY06RSVR]

What about some good quality carbon fibre.

[Spudbud]

any luck yet?????

[crashtd]

i've got to admit...i've been a little slow getting around to it.

cmon crashtd, this is me botherin you to get it done more quickly :devious:lol:tongue:lol

[Spudbud]

im almost to the point of not waiting anymore and just buying the stuff... comon please hurry!!!! lol

[crashtd]

Ok, i talked to one of our contacts...

The Good News
we're well on our way to getting something done, we'll have to see the prices we can get, and what you guys came up with.

The Bad News
You folks abroad are going to get killed on the shipping. Sorry, just not a lot we can do about this. There are TWO options. 1) If we get something small, like say power commanders, we could prolly put them all in one box and ship it to someone, who then ships or has people come pick them up (i'm thinking this would work well for the UK people who see each other regularly). or 2) If any of you guys have any sort of contact with a parts distrubutor (preferably in the EU/UK) LET ME KNOW. We might be able to have a setup for a US source and EU source.

For you guys not in the US, UK, or EU...i'll be willing to ship to you, but can't bear any of the costs...if you can get more locals to join the site, and participate then maybe we can do something similar to what i proposed for the euro-folk.

-:banana

[Rajin Cajun]

I would definitely be interested in an "Acculign Rearset" Group buy.

[little1uk]

Im startin to wonder if anything will ever happen with this :confused:confused

[crashtd]

patience...we're working out logistical stuff...i'm still looking for a good europe vendor though :O

I guess this will be the problem...find a USA vendor and then 'accidentally' forget about the European/UK/Australia etc users......Sorry to be negative but there appears to be a bit of a bias here!!! Correct me if I'm wrong:O

[crashtd]

i'm sorry, i take a bit of offense to that statement. Its kinda of impossible for us to "forget" about the UK (and EU) members on this board...you guys comprise the bulk of it. :hail We do have two other boards that have a strong US base, and this was something we were starting before this board came online.

Since day one i've been looking for a vendor in the UK or EU for our european members (we have strong UK and EU presence...as well as OZ/NZ...on our other boards). To date, no one has even given me a name or number to follow up on. I'd like nothing more than to have a vendor for you European guys, and as far as this site goes consider that to be the priority for this site....over the US members.

Help me out. I'll make it happen. :cheers

-:banana

[carpe diem]

You can't say fairer than that guys, cheers crashtd....:biggrin

[sharky]

Well depends on what you want,but at present i've got one shop in the uk called Midland Superbikes in Market Harborough in leicestershire if you mention to them that you are a member of this forum they will take 5% of the cost with a bit more work I could possibly get that to 10% i'll let you know on that one and also got 2 more in the pipeline also let you know about them.

[crashtd]

thanks sharky. you have a pm.

Hi Crash, sorry, I didn't see this thread before !
We've got a great Belgian Aprilia dealer right on this forum who helped me out tons of times, maybe drop him an e-mail? I know he's a horribly busy man, but a great chap nonetheless, and who knows he might be interested. :thumbup
I'll pm you his e-mail rightaway!

:cheers

p.s.: put some new sidestands on the group buy list ! The stock one scares me to death I'm always afraid the RSV 'll just tip over :scared :laugh

[cwalker]

if you need my help, just shout...

[sergi75]

Hi Crash,

A few uk based guys take our bikes to www.southerncrossmotorcycles.co.uk in London. When I took my bike there for a service 2 weeks ago I told them I had been recommended by RSVZONE and maybe other guys have done the same so it's worth a try. Top service, the even did a mod to my rear brake and it works perfectly now!

[dipper]

I'm new to this board but may be able to help on the vendor front. While I'm not an authorised dealer for motorbike parts(I deal in mountain bike gear) I do have a good relationship with a motorbike bike shop that helps me out with stuff so have access to most goodies. I'm sure he'd be up for supplying stuff at cheap prices if i do the leg work.

let me know what your criteria is and I'll see what I can do.

Hi Paul

Here is a pic of the TRW rearsets, they are as well made as the AP ones. I can do a single set of these for £288 delivered or £270 delivered for 3+ sets.
