What about the mounting kits?
After we get a good size of interest I'll be sure and ask about the mounts.....
Steve, working out the details.... But, my guess is all forms of payment less checks will be acceptable and I believe color choice for an extra fee. Mounts, I'm still checking on, but shouldn't be a problem. If you have a friend or relative that might be interested drop me a line. Remember the more interest we generate the better deal we get!
Should have prices in by Thursday...
If you just want to transport your bike in your truck, you don't need the mounting kit. I just set the chock down in the back of my truck, then roll the bike into the chock. I use a canyon dancer just to hold the bike in place, but I don't cinch it down tight enough to even compress the forks. The bike isn't going to move anywhere.
With the mounting kit, you wouldn't have to use any straps on the bike at all, but I probably wouldn't leave my Busa sitting in a moving truck without a strap though. Otherwise, I don't see what you would gain by having the kit. In fact, you could actually screw the chock to a trailer or truck bed without the kit since the mounting holes are allready there.
We had our group buy going on for about two weeks, but once the chocks showed up a week later, there were a lot of people upset that they didn't jump on the deal. It's well worth the money.
Another great use for this chock, is for those who are squimish about putting your bike on a rear stand. Once you roll the front wheel into the chock, you can easily prop up the rear without worrying that your bike is going to fall over on you. In fact, I use the chock when I park my Busa in the garage. I ride the bike right into the chock when I come home, so I don't need to use the sidestand at all. When I want to ride, I get on the bike and push it backwards out of the chock. It is virtually impossible for the bike to fall over once you roll it into the chock, even if you tried to push it over.

Count me in for the right place
UPDATE: Spoke with the owners daughter today, unfortunately he is out of town at a trade show and won't be back at the business until late Sunday night. This kind of puts things on hold for a bit, but not to worry we will come up with something! I'll keep you posted as things develope. Have several folks working to make this group buy happen........
you are the bug!!!! Good goin brother, just let us know what youfind out.
Haven't been on the board in a while. Just found out two weeks ago that my plant was sold and the Laboratory will be closed. So that means I will be unemployed come July 18th. Anyway... as always... COUNT ME IN!!!
Also I would like to thank K-bug for all he does to get these group buys going. So far, I have been on each and every one of them. Keep up the good work k-bug. I've got a little sumthin for ya as a little token of appreciation for your Busa. I'll give you the details about it a little later. I'm just hoping the damn thing fits...
Sorry to hear this, I feel your pain with the Onex hostile takeover at Boeing in Wichita........
No problem bro...Also I would like to thank K-bug for all he does to get these group buys going. So far, I have been on each and every one of them. Keep up the good work k-bug.

Always looking to save a buck! I appreciate the props but you know I never expect anything in return for doing these.
Update the interest in this group buy is currently at 30-35 units! Might get a break on the non standard color as these come in palets of thirty.....
