My office is covered in bits of bubble wrap, tape, padded bags and sheets of instructions......:smilies0330:

I am off to the post office now to send them to you all

I hope the post will not take longer to deliver them to you, they are buuuuutiful all of them have screws and fitting instructions in english and deutsch.

:rankn-cpo:

Job done,

I've just got back from the post office, I believe UK peeps might receive theirs tomorrow, provided no further strikes are planned. (I hope there will be someone at home to sign for them, it's recorded delivery)

Enjoy them, they are very well made. :eusa_clap:


:660::660::660::660:

Thanks for your hard work Fran much appreciated.:eusa_clap:

:BaseballHat_LNY2EG:

:icon_cheers: Awesome... thanks Fran!

Thanks for the time and effort you put in Capt cheers steve http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

a huge thanks to everyone that was involved in this!!!
they are simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smilies0346::notworthy[1]:

Thanks, that would be me :) I contacted the manufacturer, sent him the the orginal artwork for the lazer etching, viewed and rejected a number of original sketches, finally when I was happy with the product, I have agreed on the price + cumulative delivery cost to uk. I then collected all the money from the 20 members, arranged 20 individual envelopes, all recorded delivery, received the parcel from Germany this morning at 09:00hrs and posted them all by 09:30.

That's everyone who was involved! :D

Correction: You actually helped me by collecting money from a couple of the greek members and chasing the missing ioannisg :D So thank you too!

sometimes you just have to laugh http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

mmmm considering throwing a sicky just to be able to sign for da bling...... possibly not a good idea tho!
Cheers Capt looking forward to receiving the loot!
Selina

BIG THANKS Capt. i'm off tomorrow so fingers crossed they come.
ta hushy:laughing9:

So who got theirs first?

Let's hear it for the first person who received his brake reservoire cover and show pics of it so I can enter those pics in the gallery.

++++++++++

Now....

Having seen the success of the first run I am going to reopen a new window to order these plates, for those who missed out on this opportunity the first time around.

If anyone is interested the company which makes these plates not only do brake reservoire covers but also key rings they come in different styles and colours, and since now they have the artwork all you have to do is choose what you would like and specify keyring, brake res cover, colour and your chosen name under the :660: logo. As usual we need 20 minimum orders.

Below is an example of their work please lets have those 20 names.

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...60/XTItems.jpg

example: X) Username: Chipps - Product: Keyring/Brake Cover, Colour: White, etc, I want this name: XT660R or... Duncan... etc.

ta hushy:yahoo:

Bad news Capt.

The screws no worky! :googly[1]:

The new 'longer' screws are shorter than the originals. So I have no new bling fitted to my bike.

Original screw thread length is 12.65mm + 2.02mm for plate new screws need to be 14.65mm +/-

Any help getting the correct screws appreciated otherwise I have a useless silver plate sitting in my toolbox. :013:

Arrived today capt, well pleased, see pics.

Capt,only problem is its the only clean bit of bike,will have to do some cleaning and tidy up work this wkend,nice one http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Waiting for me when I got in from the IT Coalface this evening. Looks absolutely awesome I'll fit it over the weekend.

Thank you very much for organising this Capt, much much appreciated.

*Now with added bling*

Have the same prob as Stinky Pete - supplied screws are too short :-(

Ok guys one of you said it fitted perfectly so the screws that don't fit are for the Tenere or also for the XTX/XTR I will get the German to send the correct screws free of charge by speedy courier, let me know please. Remember this is not my fault but i will do all my best to get it sorted, rest assured.

Message sent to manufaturer
 

Guys I have just sent an email to the manufacturer asking to rectify this problem asap as you can see in the email below:

I take full responsibility and unless you want to wait for the screws back I am willing to refund you all if you send me the plates back.

--------------------

Dear Heiko please note that the screws for the XT660Z Tenere are too short and don't fit, The other ones for the XT660X / XT660R fit perfeclty and all the guys are happy with them, but I now have 4 Tenere owners who are upset with me that the screws are too short, please can you rectify this by sending 4 sets of screws which are the correct lenght?

please send them by the fastest possible way and I am also disappointed because now I will have to pay for another 4 postage fees to these guys.

Please let me know asap.

Here are the four Tenere guys with the shorter screws.

Boys, the man who makes these apologised he said he should have sent 14mm screws and now he has re-posted me 4 sets with fast delivery, soon as I get them I'll forward them to you guys.

he said: "Yes i know, normaly i send 14mm screws for the Tenere, what screws did i send ??
Heiko"

I told him never mind what you sent, they don't f***ing fit, stop dithering around and send the right ones, pretty please :D

So they're on the way to us.

No, yours will be fine Keith, we accertained that the bloke's mistake was to send all the screws in the XTX / XTR length, whereas for the Tenere that dozey "schnitzel" :sad3: should have sent them in the 14mm length.

Still no sign of mine!!:thumbleweed:

Tha's strange, they were all sent at the same time from the same post office, all of them were sent recorded delivery. It can't be the strike. Was anyone home yesterday? Was a card left in your post box by the postie?

If it's lost in the post I'll get a new one made for you or refund you. Let's wait a few more days, I am sorry.

No one in yesterday but no card through the door either, some one was in all day today but still no sign :088:
I,ll give it till Tuesday then i,ll get back to you cheers Fran.

Bear unfortunately yours seem to have got lost in the post, it's a biatch I know but sometimes these things happen however, I made amends immediately, and a new one is on the way as we speak

------------------

Hello Heiko, one of the guys to whom I sent your plates unfortunately didn't receive it and we think it got lost in the post, so I have to order another in the same format,
So I need to buy from you one more XT660X plate with the xt660.com logo and the name Bear under.
Please let me know how much money do I have to send you so I can paypal the amount straight away. I will then try to recover my expenses from the post office as I have posted all the 20 pieces with recorded delivery.
Many thanks again for your help.
Regards
F. Camardo
