Hey bbwatercool, if yer advertisin' there's a spot on the board for that. The admins charge a $5 hit for you advertising your business here. Not a lot, right?

that is not an advertisement, we have put a question out there and bbwatercool merely responded. HE DID NOT SAY "and i have lots of other stuff that you guys can buy too".

bbw i appreciate any discount that can be had on the muzzys steering dampener.

thanks

BBWATERCOOL,

email me directly about the steering dampener and i will find a way to rally the troops on a good deal. i think we can get anywhere from 5-10 guys right away, and possibly more if the deal is good enough. also what bikestands do you rep?

i am in contact with a few dealers that are interested in the steering dampener group deal. it goes without saying that the more people involved, the cheaper the price. right now we have anywhere from 5-7 guys interested. a few more would definitely make a difference. please email me if you are interested in this opportunity. to respect the advertising policy of htis site i shall mention no retailers names.
I would hope that one of the advertisers would step up and not allow a non board advertiser to take this business from them. i'd feel better supporting those that support the board. also i am looking into bike stands and tires. considering that we will all need replacements for tons of stuff, i see no reason as to why we cant establish some sort of group buying union of sorts.
afterall if we create demand specifically for the zx12 and we stay unified, we will have a strong lobbying party to negotiate with. i would love to rally 1000's of zx12 owners and go to corbin. maybe we could actually get some respect from those bastards.

I would say potentially "YES"....But it depends on just how much of a "Group" deal ($$$$)

If it end's up being like $10 bucks less than normal...than screw it, I'll get it later!!!!

Count me in on a Muzzy damper for an '02.

If it's going to be ordered rather soon (in the next couple of weeks) and if it's $100 off of list.

I've had head shake, all at balls-out throttle - some leaned over and some straight ahead.

My most dramatic was when I've been fully leaned over at 120+ in a long sweeper and had the front end lift up under HARD acceleration with the handle bars just flopping uselessly - skimming the pavement. That reinforced to me that I need a frigin' damper (please, no comments on riding style!). And I knew better than to close off the throttle.

But nothing really scary - yet. I hope I don't encounter it, either.

It's almost criminal that a bike this powerful doesn't come with a damper from the factory. 'Zooks do.

If there are any group deals with tires, brakes, brake lines, or any other affordable parts I'd be interested. A full exahust is not for me and a steering damper however nice it would be is more than I care to spend since I'm not pushing as hard as the rest. What about Heli-Bars? Cruise control?

i just got off the phone with a retailer that is working on the steering dampener group buy, he is hashing out the details and i'll know more in a few hours. so far its looking good. like i said the more people, the lower the price.

lou_zx12r,

if this group buy goes well, then that will certainly open the door for all sorts of other group buys. i know that we all need tires, oil, and brakes. some of us would love a front or rear stand. and the heli bar contingent is certainly out there as well.

save your pennies guys,

the union is forming.

I agree with Fish. 5 bucks to form the union on dampeners is a good deal. Just add 50 cents to everyone's order.
