I will ship to New Zealand and other countries outside North America via USPS Airmail. I've set a flat shipping rate of $22 US for all shipping outside North America. You can go through our normal checkout process on our website - just use a valid credit card/paypal account, and make sure you put in all the address info I need to ship to your country.

The price is for the pair, but it is an introductory price that is subject to change.

No pics on an 06 yet, but it the bike frame is the same one we have pics for on our site, and the sliders should stick out basically the same amount out of the new 06 fairings.

There are so many ways of cutting the fairings that we would rather leave it up to you to find a way you're comfortable with. Our sliders are no different as any other in regards to cutting the fairings. Our bases are 1.75inches diameter (or 44mm), so the holes you cut need to clear that size. Check around on the internet - you will find a wealth of info available on how to cut your fairings for frame sliders.

Great stuff James

Have just put in an order

I received my sliders in the mail yesterday. They arrived quickly, very safely packaged, and the craftsmanship/quality is top notch! Thanks James!

As soon as I get my new rightside fairing, I'll be installing them using, for the first time, the laser method of determining where to drill.

A despicable act, IMO, and I am ashamed at having done business with someone with such a lack of integrity.

Sometimes honesty gets in the way of profit.

It's a shame. Sounded like a nice guy with a good product.

In the short run but in the long run no. My brother does business with a lot of companies and the old line companies have follow through, honesty and quality vs what most of the Chinese companies have which is none of the above. Reputation is something that is hard to fake or steal yet has big value.

Hey guys,

I’m writing here to apologize to the forum members for what happened today. As I explained to the forum admin, it was a lapse in judgment deriving from my frustration and lack of patience at not being able to “profit” from our site sponsorship here on this forum.

Despite very positive product and customer service feedback from our few customers that came from this forum, we did not sell enough product over the last 2 months to even cover the reasonable sponsorship fees we paid. We had 1 month left on our initial 3 month sponsorship at Fireblades.org, and my false post was a last ditch effort to jump start some discussion about our products for the last month, so that we could justify continuing our sponsorship of this forum. As a startup, we do not have the reserves to absorb advertising costs that don’t justify the benefits, and we are under pressure to generate some sales to pay our bills.

Some actions sound justifiable while you’re doing it, but are regrettable and inexcusable in hindsight. This is unfortunately one of those occasions, and it is deeply embarrassing. Again, I personally apologize for my actions, and I hope our past and future customers can forgive this mistake and not write off our company due to my moment of weakness.

A simple PM, or a response to the emails I sent a couple weeks back, would have gotten you a "satisfied prototyper" writeup. My Blade isn't pretty, but I had the pics and writeup all ready to go. Was just waiting to hear that you had all you needed from me and that it was ok to post pics and writeup. I even "dump tested" them the other night when my bike fell over. Haven't slid them yet but I'm really not that interested in testing that aspect yet.

You have a great product that will eventually bring in a large audience, and probably some copycats.

Boy, this is just a really, really bad day. I want to start over! After reading your post, I went back and frantically searched my email records for your last email, and I found my same day response saved in my email drafts folder, never sent. I honestly thought I had sent it to you. I know my credibility is not so good right now, so I have to back up everything I post. Here’s a snapshot of my email draft records, and my email that I thought I had sent to you. I think I must have left the draft unfinished because I went to look up more info about when the sliders were going to be available on our website.

Thank you for your encouraging words.
