Please let me know if you are interested
 

I am ordering some fork spacer from Kev and he told me that if anyone is intersted in ordering a set, the actual workshop where he gets them made will charge less for a few more made, so I am going to order one set anyaway regardless but if anyone else fancies one please let me know. Kev will let us know the prices including shipping shorlty and there is a thread somewhere her with the review of those who tried them and I must say they were all more than pleased with the result.

Cheers

I'm game for anything - but don't shoot me!

Kev how much? :D

My mate normaly makes them up for AUD$50.00 per set. If we can get a few sets he will make them for AUD$35.00 per set. He said I am a pain just ordering one set at a time.

He can only make them up in June as he is out of the country on holiday & will only be getting back at the end of this month. So there is plenty of time to think about them if you want a set.

It will save you on postage if I can post one parcel to the UK with all the mods. As it normaly it costs AUD$18.00 to post one set to the UK. I can post anywhere in the world.

Payment is by PayPal request.

He can only make them up in June

Suits me - I shall be back in the U.K. mid-late June until end September.

You're on.

Any pictures of those spacers somewhere?

Spacer mods

Thanks mate!

Yes they do, the front end does not dive as much under braking. There also a gain for high speed riding.

Spacer kits

That is a lovely memorial bench to your daughter David
RIP

Thank you - it was given to us by her work colleagues after being in their office garden for two years.

But what about that pretty reservoir cover? - It'll match the new fork risers!

And what about the guitar - or aren't you into classical?

Nice resevoir cover there fella.

Where did ya find that if ya don't mind me asking?

My son got it from GW in Oxford when he collected my bike for me. It was a birthday pressy for my 60th. :happybday2:

It looks very nice. Wouldn't mind one of them on my XTX.

BTW what does GW stand for? Have they got a website or do you have a phone number for them? I gotta get one. I neeeeeed. I'm becoming a bit of a magpie for XT bits recently. lol.

George White's - infamous in the annals of the forum.
Just type george white in the google bar above.

Yeah I know the brake cylinder cover, very nice, a bit too.... gti-esque for me, the guitar is nice, I was taught on a nylon strings one so yeah I do like them

Manic Mic GW = George White the dealership

Cheers guys. I found their website.

I'll check 'em out when I get home and I am using a proper pc (dam windows 95 is doin mi ed in again, humph!!!) :022:

Ta.

3 taken & one cancelation.

I had to pay for all 4 kits myself & have stuck no mark up on these kits.

So I have 1 kit up for sale. AUD$35.00 + postage

I can appreciate a cancellation, no one is truly obliged but I am slightly embarassed that Kev had to pay in advance for these orders to be met.

All I hope is that, before these go on ebay that some of you will take on this opportunity to own a set of custom made fork spacers which have been designed by somoene who could be regarded as the world's best XT expert mechanic.

And for those who don't know how much 35 Australian dollars are in pounds, the equivalent value is: �14.51, so not exactly an astronomical figure and the postage I don't think it's going to be more than a few quid.

Yes! I'll have 'em.

Only problem is I don't do paypal but if Captain can sub me I'll give cash on Monday. I'll pay �20 cash cos of all the help I've received. Is that ok with you Guv.

Yes if that is ok with Kev, I have no probs

i got one of those for me xtx i while back off ebay, havn't seen them on there for a while though

edit... this is the one i have but guy doesnt seem to be selling anymore, but has others available so still may be able to get them or make them or however he does it, send him an email to find out

Dam I just posted off your mod Fran, you could of saved on postage.

Cost to the UK Total = AUD53.50 including postage per mod. Fran please send me you Paypal Email & I will send you a payment request for both.

ManicMic please send me your postal address & I will send it straight to you.

Spot on - I've had mine on for two days now and the front end is so well-behaved I might not have to diet as much (sorry doctor).

Don't know about high speed - that's 80kph in my kneck of the woods but the mountain hairpins I have to ride to go anywhere are kept in vision under even heavy braking now.

Thanks a million Kev - you've done it again for my riding.

Will there be anymore group orders for these anytime soon ?

Cheers

Ask Kev what the status is on a possible group order otherwise make an appeal here to see if anyone else is insterested in getting their set together with you.

I have a few sets already made up, just waiting on me to go & collect them from the engineering shop.

If you want a set then that should motivate me in going to collect them.

Price is AUD$35.00 + AUD$18.50 Airmail postage including insurance, payment by PayPal.

The more that I can post to one address the cheaper the postage cost would be. Sorry no discounts on the spacers as that is the price I pay for them.

Me too!
 

Hello Kev,
Id also like to purchase a set.
Can you let me know how to pay you with pay-pal.
Ive only ever used pay-pal on ebay which does it automatically.
Cheers.
Warren.

PS. Pauli I live in Surrey, what part of Hampshire do ya live in we can possibly save a bit on postage.

When Kev will give you his paypal email address by pm, you go to your paypal account and chose the "send money" feature, then you enter the email address Kev gave you and you can leave a reference saying this is warren and here is my payment for the fork spacers

But please remind Kev you are using an XTR and not an XTX as there might be a difference in the preload required due to the extra lenght in your forks.

Attached paypal example

Warren - I live in Fleet so not far from you. I'm definetely up for a bit of postage saving - maybe some other North Hampshire/Surrey guys would be too?

I've PM'd Kev with respect to his PayPal details.

Spacers
 

PM sent to Pauli with details.

Pauli,
I made a bit of a mistake and read the thread that takes you straight to Kevs E-Bay page before reading your last post and have ordered a set allready.
Sorry mate.:BangHead:

PS. Fleet is a nice area we must get together for a ride soon.

Cheers
Warren.

Thanks for payment Warren. Not all is lost. Pauli has not paid yet & I have PM him & told him that I can still post the two together, he will only have to pay AUD$7.00 instead of the AUD$18.50. Just waiting for payment & I will post both to your address Warren, then you guys can split the postage cost between yourselves. If you guys are not sharing post let me know & I will post your off ASAP Tuesday morning.
Kev
