group buy is a good idea , however I remember that we failed in trying to group buy some t shirts a while back, what with people not paying/ late paying / changing mind and pulling out it caused a major headache for poor OC, and that was just t shirts .

sounds like ryan has given us his rock bottom price ?

What size tubing is used on the R&G ones? I'm sure the new ones from MCEnterprises are 1" making them stronger

I can't find any information on the overall diameter or wall thickness of the material they use. However, it definitely appears to be under 1". Keep in mind, though, that wall thickness is generally a better indicator of strength rather than overall diameter.

Ryan, what's the cheapest tracked shipping you can do? I can wait a while so wouldn't need it to be air freight.

Group buy would lower costs as well

What's the small modification required to remove the fairings?

Normally we ship international orders via USPS and the cheapest price I'm getting from them (for the Canyon Cage only) is $89.50. We do not charge up for shipping and there is no "handling" fee, we simply charge the customer what the shipping company charges us. The parcel weighs 16 pounds and ships in a 20"x12"x10" box. If you can find a cheaper shipping method, I'd be more than happy to send it that way for you.

Oh, man, if we could put together a Group Buy then I could definitely save you guys a pretty penny on the Canyon Cage accessories. I don't mind organizing one for you guys, if there's enough interest in these accessories. There would need to be at least 10 participants to make it worth it, though.

The small modification that allows you to remove the fairings without removing the Canyon Cage is very simple to do. There are these small tabs on the fairing at the front portion of those air vents that slide behind another portion of the fairing, basically you have to notch a few small gaps in those tabs. The photo below shows where these gaps need to be placed. It's very easy to do with a hack saw or dremel and is hidden once the parts/fairings are completely installed. So, you'll never see this modification when the bike is all put together.

Oh absolutely! If we can get at least 10 participants together I can certainly offer you guys a sizable discount. The more people that participate, the better the pricing will be.

I'm not familiar with that Group Buy but its failure could have stemmed from the way it was conducted. We've conducted numerous successful Group Buys for other similar products that we offer. Normally, we offer discounts based on the number of total participants (10% off for 0-10 participants, 20% off for 11-20 participants, etc.) then set a deadline for everyone to order by. People call or email individually, give their shipping and payment information, and then we ship the guards based on order number once the deadline hits. That way it's much tougher for people to back out and we can easily adjust the discount as the total number of participants changes.

It's definitely something I'm willing to set up for you guys as long as there's a decent amount of interest. I have basically given you my rock bottom price for individual sales but if there's enough interest for a Group Buy, you guys could potentially save even more.

if you are handling the admin of the group buy then we have a chance of making it work, lets see how else shows an interest

Sounds good to me! I'll keep an eye out for interested parties and mention to them that we may be doing a Group Buy in the very near future.

I take it you can fit the cages without cutting the fairing as in the above photo?

Hang fire for the moment guys.....Im working on something with Ryan so I will keep you posted

You can indeed fit the Canyon Cages without any modification to the fairings. There is no cutting or drilling required to mount our accessories. The only reason to do that specific modification is so you can remove the fairings without having to remove the Canyon Cage. Makes it a bit easier when doing routine maintenance.

Do you mean so that you can remove the fairing without removing the Canyon Cage or am I getting confused now?

[viper]

without the cut in the fairing you would need to remove the cage first, with the cut the fairing comes away without removing the cge

Not quite what I had in mind!

Oh, yes, I apologize. I messed up the wording. I modified the original post so as not to confuse future readers. But, you have it correct. The modification allows you to remove the fairing while leaving the Canyon Cage installed.

Well, good news everyone! We've been in contact with a dealer located in the U.K. to hopefully import our Concours accessories. If we can get the details ironed out, they'll be carrying our products there at very competitive rates to the R&G accessories which will really help you guys save some coin. Once it's finalized, I'll post the dealer name and location here and you guys can begin purchasing our products directly from them to save on freight and duty fees!
