Help, Rear Wheel Damper Question...

Bone · Thu 02, Jul 2009, 05:37:13

Gary put me on your list for 1 set of Dampers.
Thanks

So, have we heard from everyone who wants to order urethane wheel dampers? Seems like we will get it done better if we can get it done quickly. Should we start a new thread with more of a "heads-up" title?

Shockbushing Gary · Fri 03, Jul 2009, 08:08:26

Let's get closer to a ship date, John.
A new thread up now will just sink to a month old if there isn't an action needed.
July 29 parts are supposed to be ready.

TAZ · Fri 03, Jul 2009, 20:43:04

I will take a the shock ones for the standard HONDA shocks and the rear end damper too.

Do you take PayPal?

I need a set of dampers and four shock bushings please.
I bought shock bushings from you on ebay and mis-placed them, couldn't find them when I needed them.

I am new to the board but have a 98 valk (63000 miles) and need a set of dampers also, I hope it is not to late to order. I would hate have to give money to the Honda dealer for an inferior product. Can you let me know where to send the money?

Thanks

Marty_in_MN · Mon 06, Jul 2009, 16:34:33

I'll also take a set of dampers.

Thanks,
Marty

Chillerman · Mon 06, Jul 2009, 16:55:17

+ 1 on the dampers!!

JetDriver · Mon 06, Jul 2009, 19:20:38

I'll take a damper and a set of bushings. Seems like most are just replacing their top bushings; do the lowers not need it?

Paul Carver · Tue 07, Jul 2009, 05:27:10

Please include me in a set of dampers for a 2000 Interstate. Thanks!

The lower shock bushings on Valks have a steel sleeve in them that slows the wear considerably.
I started out just selling bushings in pairs- 2 parts at a time. This way you could just replace the worn parts.
VTX's wear all four positions. They almost always buy 4 parts at a time.

To All: If you've sent me an e-mail, and I replied that I'd notify you when parts are ready, that's what will happen. If you put a reply here, I read it, but you won't get an e-mail. I'll just put a notice up in this thread that dampers are ready.
As Bartles and James used to say: Thanks for your support!

roboto65 · Wed 08, Jul 2009, 10:42:12

I just shot you an email for a set of Shock bushings hope I am not to late!!!

f6john · Wed 08, Jul 2009, 23:37:11

I need two sets of dampers also.

Jess from VA · Thu 09, Jul 2009, 05:07:50

Two sets of wheel dampers for me please.
nilgun11@cox.net

I do not use paypal, so let me know how to send a check up front.

Thank you sir.

chicago67 · Thu 09, Jul 2009, 09:39:28

Hope I can also get on the order list.

I also sent an email request to you for a damper and a set of bushings for my 97 standard

Shockbushing Gary · Wed 05, Aug 2009, 21:22:09

Dampers are promised to ship tomorrow, 8-6-9
I will accept your payment now.
I'd prefer certified funds, as Paypal takes a chunk of every sale.
PM me for an address.
Better still, just take it from http://www.rattlebars.com/cart/bushings.html this page
If you are outside the US, we will have to figure out the shipping charges. All sales in the US are $75 shipped per set.
I will date all orders and send in the order received.

Valker · Wed 05, Aug 2009, 21:39:20

Gary, what are "certified funds"?

john · Wed 05, Aug 2009, 22:00:50

money order cashiers check

Valker · Wed 05, Aug 2009, 22:09:49

Gary, I ordered two sets of dampeners and two sets of shock bushings. Would that be $180? Not thinking too good along the math lines.

Shockbushing Gary · Fri 14, Aug 2009, 18:29:10

For the benefit of all who expressed interest, the dampers are in.
They look real good, and can ship as soon as I receive your payment.
PM could be slow, so ping me at
eckfamNOSPAM@clear.net
and leave out the obvious

roboto65 · Fri 14, Aug 2009, 19:45:23

Just have to say my shock bushings were shot and the ones I got from Gary fit perfect and worked great!!!! Easy job lots better than doing a Magna!!!

Farther · Sat 03, Oct 2009, 21:10:43

Incoming order through Rattlebars.

Farther · Wed 14, Jul 2010, 21:16:45

I got two sets of bushing, are the wheel dampers still available?

PAVALKER · Wed 14, Jul 2010, 23:32:42

This thread is almost a year old... yikes. But for those that ordered the dampers, and some order 2 sets??? how did that work out for you?? What is the life span for those dampers?

Jess from VA · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 07:07:29

For those that ordered the dampers (and some order 2 sets), how did that work out for you??

I ordered two sets which are now both installed (with new darkside GTTs on each bike). Both seem to be working perfectly, and I believe this is a lifetime upgrade..... or certainly longer than OE 25-30K. Tight fit, no slop.

PAVALKER · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 07:55:24

Interesting.... I was thinking and hoping that those that ordered two sets would be using them on two bikes.... hence my question on lifespan.

matt · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 13:15:02

bummer did not catch the date and was about to order a set

Farther · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 17:51:03

I just got an email from Gary saying he has one set of dampers left.

matt · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 18:27:20

thanks I just sent an email to him. hopefully email address on this thread still works

Shockbushing Gary · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 18:45:54

My e-mail address, which I edited in the earlier part of this thread, is
eckfam-at-clear-dot-net
The few sets of dampers I had are already gone, but I am going to make another batch. If you plan to BUY, a reply to me at the e-mail address above will put you on the mailing list for the finish date.
You don't need to tell me if you are "interested, but not committed", only if you plan to buy. Price is still $75 a set, and if you want shock bushings at the same time, the 2 for 1 deal goes.
Thanks to all for their encouragement and loyalty. I appreciate it.

Art708 · Thu 15, Jul 2010, 21:21:48

I ordered my dampers and bushings from Gary and they will be on the way tomorrow. Now I need to get a new U-joint and some o-rings for the wheel and a new tire and I'll be all set.
