RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 6:36:20 PM    cozye Posts: 86 Joined: 4/12/2006 Status: offline ^^ this is true, but for almost half the price they serve their puprose well on the track. The real question in my mind is why did vortex disco the f4i sets but they still have the f2/f3 ? _____________________________ E-Racings Race Bodies from $342 Shipped! 2007 CBR 600RR Blue (in reply to Hershey) Post #: 17

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 6:40:05 PM    Hershey Posts: 668 Joined: 7/27/2007 Status: offline Half the price? same as the Vortex ones from that ebay store. I wasn't aware they disco'd the F4i rearsets, maybe not very popular? _____________________________ I intend to live forever. So far, so good. (in reply to cozye) Post #: 18

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 6:50:54 PM    cozye Posts: 86 Joined: 4/12/2006 Status: offline Is the ebay store "sum of all parts" ? I remember seeing some threads recently about people being very unhappy with ordering stuff and not getting it for weeks with no communication at all. I'd be careful. For a while there were these chineese vortex clone rearsets on ebay that seemed decent, LNG, or LFG, or something like that. _____________________________ E-Racings Race Bodies from $342 Shipped! 2007 CBR 600RR Blue (in reply to Dj_Squatch) Post #: 20

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 7:28:32 PM    Hershey Posts: 668 Joined: 7/27/2007 Status: offline Yeah sum of all parts, they have great feedback and have some recognition awards on ebay. I havent been able to buy anything from them yet, although I have tried... They dont ship to Canada However, I did just ask today if they will ship to "ship happens" at the US/Can border... We'll hear back tomorrow I guess! _____________________________ I intend to live forever. So far, so good. (in reply to cozye) Post #: 21

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 8:01:10 PM    radtechrider Posts: 89 Joined: 1/2/2008 Status: offline I have done business with "sum of all parts".  I bought a 520 chain and sprocket set from them.  As for the email problems they told me that for some reasons that web based emails such as hotmail and yahoo filter their emails and some people dont get their emails.  I personally called their phone number and ordered that way. I also had to fish their email out of my blocked messages folder. I got all my tracking #'s through email and the product in about 5 days. I trust 'em hershey you may want to just call that number, I believe its on the auction page.  They will tell you if they can ship to you up there. (in reply to cozye) Post #: 23

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/20/2008 8:20:03 PM    Hershey Posts: 668 Joined: 7/27/2007 Status: offline At 2,000+ emails a day I could understand a short delay in communication. I've read quite a bit about them and they seem to do business right, you cant let a few bad experiences turn you off from a company with so many more positive experiences. _____________________________ I intend to live forever.

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/21/2008 12:38:14 PM    Dj_Squatch   Posts: 341 Joined: 1/14/2008 Status: offline lol...no not really at all...i just put all my money into my bike because its what i love. I build trusses, and it sucks and pays awfull...but anyway....yea i think you misunderstood what exactly im getting....im just reasearching to see what will give me the best bang for my buck. i plan on..... Chinese Fairings - $460 + shipping ($200 ish?) Subframe-(allready have) $35 Racetech springs, valves 15w, $170ish F4i shock (allready have) $32 headlight & signals $50ish F4i undertail w/ integrated turn signals $99 900rr motor-500ish SS lines and pads- $150 Rearsets-$100 Used aftermarket slip-on-$50? Total= Roughly 1446...plus i bought the bike for 1300....and am going to sell all my fairings for about 350 or so.....so i will have spent somewhere around 3k total...maybe a little more or less......and then...i can turn around when im done having my fun with it, and sell it locally to some highshcool kid riding on daddys coat tails for around 6k...and then get a gsxr 1000 or r1. Eitherway i think it will be worth it not only to have a one of a kind bike but i love doing all the work and upgrades etc. so its more for the love of bikes than the price differnce. _____________________________ Dj_Squatch (in reply to Hershey) Post #: 29

RE: Vortex Rearsets - 1/21/2008 12:46:41 PM    Hershey Posts: 668 Joined: 7/27/2007 Status: offline You wont sell the bike for 6 grand, sorry to be the one to have to tell you that... but nobody will pay $6,000 for a $2500 bike. Not when you can get a 2006 600cc with low K that hasnt been modified (decreases value) for 6 G's. A vehicle isn't an appreciating investment... sorry dude! not trying to be a dick, just maybe spare you some lost coin. I've seen people try to do what you are trying to do, and their bikes NEVER sell, they always lose the money. The only way to make cash off a vehicle is to buy it for close to nothing, return it to clean an operational status, and sell it. Not dump a ton of cash into custom parts < Message edited by Hershey -- 1/21/2008 12:54:02 PM > _____________________________ I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
