The design is 4 1/2 inches long.

Uhmmmm, what is that in mm's?

4 1/2 " = 114.3 mm

COUNT ME IN FOR ONE, MAYBE TWO. DEPENDS ON PRICE. LOOKS GOOD

Dag · Fri 18, Jun 2010, 18:42:43

The mfg are working on the mold for the design and hope to have a sample by mid-week.
I will know the exact price next week as well.

There are two different ways to attach the design. We put in two sleeves in the bottom of the design that can be used with bolts to attach it to the fender. Or there is a 3M two sided adhesive tape (very sticky) that is used by many motorcycle and car dealerships.

I'd like to see the "illuminated" option...

Like Indian has had every time they've been in business

¿spoom · Sun 20, Jun 2010, 20:05:19

If folks don't like the price of a solid one they'll never pop for 3x-4x the price needed to make an illuminated one. That would require molds for the metal and plastic parts, the parts themselves, lamp sockets & method of attaching the lens & metal parts together so that they could be easily separated for bulb changing. Dag, I appreciate that you're having them made here to take advantage of cheap American labor

Put me down for one if it happens

Dag · Wed 30, Jun 2010, 11:56:03

Here is the first Maidenhead Ornament. ( I can smell chrome)
I will not sell these in USA, but the club will

Willow will come up with details like price and deliverytime. -and it looks like they will be ready before Inzane.

I'm up for one ..made my vote ..recall

Very nice! I can't wait!

Molasses · Fri 02, Jul 2010, 15:51:01

Haven't been around much lately, so just saw this thread today. I'd like to get one very much and voted accordingly in the poll.

Willow · Fri 02, Jul 2010, 15:54:31

We're cutting it pretty close, but we may actually have some at InZane.

TomT · Sat 03, Jul 2010, 05:46:14

Dag, or Willow,
I won't be able to make Inzane this year.

Has there been a final price and time for availability for those of us that are wanting one by USMail?
Thanks again and for all those that are heading for Michigan, RIDE SAFE!!! Wish we were going with you!

Yes, but first opportunity will be at InZane. After InZane we'll make the ornaments available by mail order. I'll hold the price announcement until then.

BudMan · Sat 03, Jul 2010, 08:59:29

I'm actually considering turning one into a pen and pencil desk set by mounting it on a walnut base. I can see lots of cool designs around that. Part of a picture holder, business card "take one" display, desk name plate, etc.

I'm sure something like that is what I'll do with the one I put on The Dark Lady when I'm forced to retire from riding her.

Disco · Sat 03, Jul 2010, 09:25:10

Beautiful! Thanks, Dag.

old grouch · Sat 03, Jul 2010, 09:35:55

I will be wanting one at Inzane. Voted accordingly. Stan

elraque · Sat 03, Jul 2010, 20:34:36

I'd love to see a pic of one mounted on a fender... to answer the question about where "she" will be looking...

TomT · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 05:57:38

What ever happened to these ornaments?? Just curious. Last I heard, they were going to be offered first to the folks at Inzane, then to those of us that were not as fortunate to have been able to go.

Thanks,

I dont know how many that was sold at Inzane, bu I know they brought 25off.
I got a message from the customs in Norway that 10off arrived Norway yesterday. I`m leaving for two weeks vacation on Crete tomorrow, so I wont see them until i`m back home.

I`m sure Willow will chime in...

rmrc51 · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 09:37:53

Dag,

Count me in as well!!!

Willow · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 10:34:33

We did sell a few of the twenty-five at InZane.

We (some of us) have just gotten home and are beginning to catch up.

We intend to offer the fender ornaments at $63.95 but it will be just a bit before we're ready to accept orders. Please be patient with us.

As an aside, when I saw the actual item, it appeared to me that even someone who isn't particularly interested in a fender ornament may want one of the maidenheads to mount on a base as a desk ornament.

HayHauler · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 10:42:02

Just let us know when you're ready...

Willow,

Keep my name on your list! When they're available, I definitely want one!

Big IV · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 12:52:00

Cannot wait for the announcement that these will be for sale! I think my wife will let me have the 63 dollars. I might just have to keep the bike washed for it to look right. Oh well. Sacrifices we make in life.

Dragonryder2 · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 13:10:07

I want two of them. Am interested in attachment and is it going to be curved to fit the fender?

Black Pearl's Captain · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 13:32:00

OK we're patient.

Put me down patiently for one please.

there is a curve to the bottom that is intended to fit the fender.

If I remember correctly (they're not currently in my possession) some had two threaded holes in the bases and some had solid bases with double sided tape.

Big IV · Wed 28, Jul 2010, 20:45:15

then that means that somewhere someone should be mounting these to their bike. I wonder if they've taken pictures? I'd like to see those.

Thanks for working to those of ya'll on both sides of the pond that are making this happen.

They all have both the threaded inserts and the double sided tape. Carl before you ship these open them and inspect. I sold one at Inzane that had some chrome chipped. That happened to be the first one that I sold. After it was returned I had everyone unwrap them as they bought them. We never found another one that was unacceptable. This might save some shipping headaches.

All had double sided tape. Some had threaded holes, as well.

Karen · Fri 30, Jul 2010, 22:18:55

Please put me down for one; I've decided to replace my one remaining deer whistle with this lovely artifact. Call me crazy...

Cleaner Man · Sat 31, Jul 2010, 08:41:43

I've got a chrome fender tip...will this (hopefully) cover the two holes in my fender, or would it set on the fender behind the tip?

Misfit · Sat 31, Jul 2010, 09:22:56

I think behind the tip would be better.

JP in SC · Sun 29, Aug 2010, 20:30:57

I have been waiting patiently

, (not really,

), for someone to post a photo of a Maidenhead gracing a fender. This thread has been lain lifeless for almost a month. Has anyone put one on their Valk and if so, would you post a picture? Thanks.

Are there any updates on where to order one of these little ladies? Ya'll got us all worked up and then left us hanging! Some of us are chrome junkies and can't take this kind of teasing. I NEED A FIX OF SHINY!

bigguy · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 09:52:38

I saw this recently and wondered how it'd look on a fender.

I order my tank badges last week. (The one in my sig. That's my wife's face.) It will probably be a few weeks before I get them, but I'm looking forward to it.

Quicksilver · Mon 25, Oct 2010, 10:03:20

Is there any news on availability yet?

TomT · Mon 25, Oct 2010, 17:04:50

Thank you! I've been waiting also!

Chattanooga Mark · Mon 25, Oct 2010, 17:52:43

When and where will these be available?

Thanks,

Mark

Willow · Mon 25, Oct 2010, 20:16:03

I know you've heard this before, but soon.

It's on our front burner.

Chattanooga Mark · Mon 25, Oct 2010, 21:24:26

OK, thanks Willow, I'll stay tuned.

Mark
