Is BIG BIKE THINGS (one of the VRCC sponsors) out of business?  Ordered passenger armrests but haven't heard anything from them.  Their website states mid to late March but no phone number to contact them.  Anybody have any dealings with them?

Yep Big Mike and his company are good folks.....Mike is recovering from hip replacement surgery and some post surgery complications.  I'm sure he will take good care of you as soon as he able.

Big Mike is NOT Big Bike Things, he is Valkyrie Bling and More.

Sergeant D, BBT is not a VRCC sponsor, so I don't have any direct info.  However, did BBT charge your card for the item?  If so, there should be a contact number on your bill.

I have not heard that they are out of business.  The website says they will be resuming business mid to late March, so I don't think I'd be too worried yet.

I sent them an email about forward controls recently and he replied to it.  He had been out of the country but was back now and trying to get started with orders.  He should post a phone number tho so we can contact him personally if needed.

OK, so I will wait this out for another week and then cancel my order if I have to.  I wanted to get the armrests through Ultimate but I have an aftermarket sissy bar which is taller and they said it wouldn't work with my Kuryakan.  Oh well.  I thought I was supporting one of the sponsors since it is linked through the vendors page.  Might wanna think about removing them?

They make lots of good stuff, don't want you to get screwed over with
your armrests, but BBT is good to have around...

Barry has been good to the VRCC.  He's not a regular paid advertiser on the site, but he always donates a prize or two for InZane and has been a VRCC advertiser some years ago.

Big Bike Things is good quality and you won't go wrong doing business with them.

Barry has done good by me. Easy to approach with issues. Excellent responses and remedies to customer concerns.  ;)
