Mirror Extenders for 2nd Gen Bandit - ON EBAY NOW
« on: May 14, 2008, 11:01:57 AM »
I have someone who will produce delrin mirror extenders for the 2nd Gen B1200s, but he needs a stock mirror for the initial fabrication.

Anyone have an old/damaged mirror they can send me to give to him?  Once he gets the extenders fabbed, they will be less than $25 per set.

Also, anyone interested in a group buy on these, please post up here so I can give him an approximate count.

UPDATE:  Price could be as low as $16 per set on a group buy of 10+

It's "delrin".  They are black.

Shipping not included, probably around $5-6

New bolts are included.

I believe they are ~ 3/4".

I also got a price update on a group buy.  They could be as low as $16 per set for an order of 10+

The mirror extenders are ready.  I gave him one of my mirrors to use as a template, and he gave me the 'prototype' set.  They look great as you can see...





I measured them and they are 1" thick.

No set price yet... probably in the $16-24 range, plus shipping.

Anyone interested in that price range should PM me.  He doesn't know how much material he has to make these yet, so it'll be first-come-first-served.

I got these off of eBay to fit my 1250. They came with new bolts and are well-engineered. Is it the same guy?

Could be.  He told me he used to be the 'top dog' in this business a few years ago, but he stopped making them.  He wants to get back into it again.

How much did you pay for them?

Cost me $24 inc. bolts and they were made from black Delrin.

Okay... cost is going to be $28 shipped to Con-USA.

Right now we're up to 11 orders.  I'll probably an extra set or two (if he has enough material to make that many) just in case there's any late-comers to the party.  If I have leftovers, I'll sell them on fleabay.

This is who I have gotten commitments from so far on this website:

T748
dpturner - PAID

Here's how your cost breaks down....

1.  My total cost of 11 sets shipped to me.
2.  Postage (flat rate for everyone in the USA) via USPS Priority Mail
3.  Packaging (Probably will do bubble-mailer packs)
4.  Gas/time/energy
5.  My initial cost of shipping him my mirror ($7)
6.  Paypal's 3% cut.
7.  A 6-pack of Sam Adams for me.

... divided by 11.

I'm doing a 'flat rate' shipping because I don't want to have to figure out everyone's individual postage, unless you're outside the USA, which will be whatever my cost is.

I'd prefer paypal so we can get this order expedited... but if that's not an option, you can send a check or M/O .  I will wait until everyone's paid before I place the order.  Once I give him the go-ahead, he says he can have them ready in less than a week.  I'll then ship them out within a day or two after that.

If this isn't amenable to anyone who told me they wanted a set, just let me know via PM, and I'll adjust the order accordingly.  I'll PM everyone who said they wanted a set with my PayPal address.  Again, if PayPal doesn't work for you, let me know, and I'll give you my mailing address for a check or money order.

Sorry, I already placed the order.

If all goes well... I'll see how many people are interested in a 2nd group buy.

Crap...that's what I get for not getting on here for a week or two. Definitely count me in if you have any extras or if there is another group buy.
