JuXXtin Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Hey all... ok I've searched the site.... but it looks like John's Bike Bits only has the BLACK mirror extenders. What about the bare aluminum (hence... silver) looking ones. Where do I get a pair of those? like this: http://www.sincler.com/ShowImage.aspx?path...ikeDSCN3500.JPG Quote
Brian03XX Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I have never come across those. Maybe the guy striped the powder coat? I just did it to my bar ends looks good. This winter is driving me crazy had to do something on the bike. Quote
JuXXtin Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 Hey Brain... you got a PIC on 'dem bar ends, that might be cool... Then I got emailed back from the past-owner of that bike and he pointed me to this: http://cbr.geckobox.net/forum/viewtopic.ph...aluminum+mirror So, then next, JOHN01XX... can we still them from you like this, or was this a once time thing?

Sorry no pics but they came out nice and bright. I used a steal wier wheel brush on my hand drill to shine them up. I might get a set of those extenders this spring, black is ok with me. Quote
Warp11XX Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I'd be interested in a black set of extenders too. My elbows are really cute and everything, but I'm tired of looking at them now... :mrgreen: Besides that, I like seeing other bikes get smaller and smaller and smaller... Quote
John01XX Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 The Matt Black finish to match the rubber boots are readily available for immediate shipment. Quote
JuXXtin Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, looks like black only since I want to order asap.... order sent!! Thanks John. Quote
Byrdman Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Just sandblast the black prodercoating off of them? Quote
John01XX Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 The powder coating makes for the best primer for respraying to the color you prefer. Priority out tomorrow Thank you Quote
Warp11XX Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Is the black powdercoat a close enough match to not be noticable on a black Bird if left unpainted? It may take me two or three weeks (I owe my life and first born child to Visa right now on a CBF bigbore project ) before I order, but I am guaranteed going to get them from you as soon as possible. :mrgreen: Quote
John01XX Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 The Matt powder coat matches the rubber boot next to it pretty close. Look at the pic on my site of a board members yellow bike. You can get a good perspective of the color match to the boot with the yellow paint on the adjoining side. Quote
Warp11XX Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Been looking on the BikeBits website... :sad: Are the extenders sold out? I don't see an order option there anymore... Quote
John01XX Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Warp, I took them off temporarily due to being out of stock. It will be about two weeks or so till another batch are made. I sent you a pm as well. I will post here when they are back in stock. I had an unexpected run on them about two weeks ago and sold out the last six sets. I usually sell about two sets a month and then suddenly 6 sets sold in two weeks. Quote
Warp11XX Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 One question... :grin: Is the stock wiring for the signals long enough to stretch without splicing in a new section of wire or connector? I'm just guessing that it is... Quote

Squareman357 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 John I want to order those as well as some other stuff from you. I need to know how best to go about it. Posting here? Or through your web page? Bird board members get any discounted pricing? I'm looking to order clear signals for front and rear, tail light, and the mirror extenders. Let me know what I need to do.

Skull Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I just want to jump in here and say that John runs a good business, with excellent customer service. I had a special request for a one-off item and he went to his supplier and set the whole thing up for me. I couldn't be a happier customer. Quote
John01XX Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Oh thats reminds me, I will give Clear Alternatives a call tomorrow to see when they will go out. I got your check today also Thanks Quote

X1rider Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I got mine from Johns Bike Bits in Ft. Lauderdale. In 2 days! They work great and I am well pleased that I can now actually see what's behind me now. The wobble a bit at 130+ but that is to be expected. To bad the stock rubber cover isn't as thick at the forward edge where the retainer screw is. It would lock the rubber down better. Quote
