I am the importer for ABBA products in the Netherlands, and it does work great. However, it is a little expensive overhere. Your USA prices are quite good actually.....
-
Why not use adjustable bars? Then you can choose how much up and how much closer you want the bars. I prefer the Gilles Tooling VaioBars for that reason, but there are others like ABM/Spiegler and BKG.

Projector HID for the bird.
Helvet replied to Silverbird2's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
Yes, I've done several with and without the Angel-eyes. No by this supplier, but from here in Europe (Germany). It is some work to install them, but the light is much better than standard, and even a lot better than replacement HIB-bulbs. -
Corbin Seat for Blackbird (Palm Coast FL USA)
Helvet replied to BobZ's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
If I use USPS calculator it states about 130 USD, but I don't know the size of the box you will use. Check here: https://ircalc.usps.com/?country=10298 -
Corbin Seat for Blackbird (Palm Coast FL USA)
Helvet replied to BobZ's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Too bad you won't ship overseas. I'm always interested in Corbins, they are much more expensive overhere. -
trade corbin seat for stock seat w/$$
Helvet replied to vrodguy12's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I use exactly the same when I ride with a pillion. It's a Gunfighter and Lady model in Carbon-look. I am interested, what are you asking? -
trade corbin seat for stock seat w/$$
Helvet replied to vrodguy12's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I am also interested, depending on the seat. Since Corbin is rediculously expensive here in Europe I am willing to pay top dollar. And I have 5 stock seats you can choose from..... -
I have about 6 sets of them (all used). But shipping will be to expensive, I think.
-
They are hard to find nowadays. The last ones I've sold for 500 up to 600 Euros. They are brandnew over 1500 Euros here......

WTB: Fuel Injected Front Wheel
Helvet replied to Hypnotik's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Sorry, it was a stupid joke from my part...... Yes, the wheels are a bit different (mostly the brake-discs). But if you can buy a carburated model front wheel complete with discs and the spacers that are on the axle, you can use that just fine. -
WTB: Fuel Injected Front Wheel
Helvet replied to Hypnotik's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Is a fuel injected front wheel faster? Good luck in finding one that is undamaged. They are hard to come by (just like the top fairing and headlight). -
Carbon Fiber Digital Dash cover
Helvet replied to cbrbear's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
Do you have information about the analog-dash? I sell these for the digital version a few years now, but I could never find one for the analog dash...... -
CHEAP Cruise Control that works great
Helvet replied to ksucrow's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
I have been the Dutch importer for the GoCruise throttle-lock for 2 years now, and it's doing great here. I've sold quite a lot without much problems other than people mistreating them. -
What you are selling is the tank-cover, not the tank-bra. Yes, Bagster added a tank-bra which is a lot less visible than the tank-cover. http://www.bagster.com/en/showroom.php?id=132 It will fit all bags and most bikes.

Corbin Smuggler F/S - Needs TLC !
Helvet replied to oldbird's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
No smuggler there...... -
Ferodo FDB2098ST (sintered) are great. I like them more than the original Nissins/Honda or the replacement Brembo Sinter.
-
There is a small difference in the upper mount, but you can buy that seperately.
-
Did you ever get a reply from Gilles?
-
In that case you've never looked across the pond. Bridgestone is considered (at least here in Europe) to sell mediocre tyres the last 10 years....... Dunlop is making a big comeback!
-
I think I've sold about 10 sets to BB-riders. All of them like it, and get 8000 to 12000km with them (5500 - 8000 miles). But since the Dunlop Sportsmart was introduced nobody buys these anymore (that is why the price is dropping). The Sportsmart does eveything better than the Q2, including mileage.......
-
Forget about the GT for the BB. It is far too stiff..... I sold a set to a BB-rider a few weeks ago. He insisted (against my advice) on the GT's. He replaced them last week by the tyres I originally suggested to him (Dunlop Roadsmarts), and now he's happy again (told you so...). The bike was much too bumpy, and could not give enough grip on bumpy roads.

http://www.bagster.com/en/ http://www.motorbikeseats.com/ http://uk.baehr.net/komfortsitze.htm I sell all of these. The first and last upgrade your seat, the second one sells complete seats without sacrificing your old seat.

I've sold over 200 and fitted about 75 of these to Blackbirds. Please note: DO NOT Dremel anything on the bike, you ONLY need to Dremel the Vista (like in the pictures of Evelakes). There is not much room between the grips and the housing of the gas-cables (HGC). If you want to fit heated grips this will become even worse, so forget about those, or change or remove the bar-end weights. The heated grips are longer....... I've noticed that in some BB's you have a lot more room between the ridge on the throttle and the HGC. If you heve enough room it's a straight fit, just Dremel one of the fixation points (see Evelakes pictures above). If you don't have the room (please note that the HGC is not straight-angled, so it fits a lot better in one place than the other), you need to Dremel the Vista a bit more. I don't really know how to describe it better than cutting the part of the Vista that touches the ridge on the throttle. Just 1 millimeter will do the trick...... Then clean the Vista from all remaining melted plastics, and mount it. You might need to try several times.... In the beginning it is possible that either the Vista is too tight (will not loose the throttle fully), or too weak (will not hold speed). Just mount and use it in either position you like. After a few hours using it it will work a lot better......

If you are willing to ship to Holland you've got a buyer...........
