XJBikes products

bandanas, vests, lemme think a bit!

hmm something bike related would be cool!

 

I think a key ring would be a good addition to the list. Maybe a small rubberized fob that has "XJ" or something. This way we could have our bike key separate, and not have all of our keys hanging on the handlebars. I've seen one from a company that had a picture of a motorcycle on a plastic fob claiming to be one of our bikes. It looked horrible, and indistinguishable from any other bike.

 

Sno,

Have you looked at http://www.cafepress.com

If you have logos etc already developed you can upload them and they will spin items for you.

I havent looked at their terms in a while, but i think it used to be very little up front.

 

how about a license plate holder or bracket that has the logo on it instead of a dealer one or nothing like me

 

how about decals for our bikes,cars and trucks?

 

I thup the good work.ink the idea of a key fob with XJ Bikes on it is a good idea because you don't have to carry around a bunch of keys to lose and a key fob doesn't make such an uncomfortable lump in your pocket. Brilliant club keep

 

I have a super duper hookup in the screenprinting business, let me know if you need...

 

was wondering if this was going to happen or not? maybe get an account with cafepress, they have many products,if you would like i can try to make up a logo for here.. though the one in the corner looks fine to me.. just a thought..

 

I'd like to use the POWER of 15-Hundred Members to:

Get a Manufacturer to sell us a Huge quantity of Rear Shock Absorbers at Wholesale.

Get TAYIO GIKEN to sell us a Huge quantity of PETCOCK REPAIR and Overhaul Kits at Wholesale ... so we get the quality parts we need without someone adding 60% Mark-Up for ordering it at the end of the week and forgetting to call when the damn thing was delivered to where I needed to go and get it.

Find a Company who will accept a Bulk shipment of Carb Tops and Re-Chrome them for a "One-Job" rate.

Front Fork Tubes ... too !

 

Those are some tall orders to fill Rick. I'm hopeful the power of numbers would get us noticed. I'm surprised you haven't recieved a greater reception in your advances with these folks. I'm onboard with all of the parts listed above. Cheeseball parts distributors are notoriously lousy at being concerned with you as a costomer.

 

Someone sounds bitter... :wink:

 

Did you read his thread on the footwork he did trying to get us a decent price on petcock repair kits and rear shocks?

 

Don't think I did, actually. I got the impression he'd ordered said parts and wasn't too happy with how the order was handled. (shrug)

 

A short while back, Rick (generous with his time) tried to get his foot in the door of a major shock manufacturer and the folks that produce the OEM fuel petcock parts. The shock folks didn't even respond and the fuel parts place politely brushed him off (something about contractual obligations or something to that effect). This dispite the obvious potential sales from a dedicated fan base. Rick gets a A for effort.

 

Ikon Shocks. I filled-out the questionare they sent. Never heard a peep out of them after two folo-up's.

TAYIO GIKEN Co. Suppliers of petcocks to every motorcycle maker on The Third Rock from the Sun! Under contract with Yamaha ... Preeze do see dah dear-rer foal do oar-er-ring.

Looked at their "New and Improved" -- YMO-31-100D Petcock to see if its available. (I looks as if the New Design incorporates a Plastic Housing, beneath the valve switch ... containing an Inline filter, ahead of the Supply Out Pipe).

They know we this additional filtering.
Rusting tanks and crap-filled gas will sell a bunch of 'em.

 

You never did say where you bought that gas...

 

That's the shame of most places today they do not care about anything unless you can give them lots and lots of orders :< It's really a shame

 

Is there an XJbikes.com flyer or calling card? Sometimes I see an XJ on the street or in a parking lot somewhere, (Saw one at Boeing Renton today, for example) and I often wonder if the owner is a member, or even knows of this forum. I owned my XJ for almost a year before I discovered this site. Anyway, I've often wished I had a calling card or flyer I could discreetly leave on a bike I see, as a way of inviting XJ owners to visit our little community, if they haven't already. Something a member could download and print at home, perhaps? Your thoughts?

 

Great idea.
