    I hope the box doesn't stick to the conveyors etc during the shipping process from the strength of the magnets??

    This can happen from my experience.

    When we were setting up the Crash Test Dummies, I got a few kits sent to me in the one carton, so if they were gonna stick to anything, it should've happened then... they didn't have any hassles - and that was 18 magnets in one wrapping & pretty much the same carton!! So with only 6 magnets wrapped up even better & packed in their wrapping into the carton, it should be fine!

    Here's hoping they all get to their intended recipients OK & you all find them easy to fit - which shouldn't be hard, as you can see from the vid! Enjoy.

    How did you change your oil filter without removing the side panels and mirror?

    thanks for post

    end of the month dealers kits will be ready
    the plan is to get them to the dealers well before spyderfest
    3dealers have been sent a sample
    after they appraise I will send kits to them if they wish to proceed
    i can't say who as I don't have their orders yet,but you know them all well
    re supply.....I expect to be playing catchup into may but after that I retire and it will be easy to keep the product up
    re store....the dealers will be supplied with spares so if you do happen to need anything there will be minimum downtime
    thanks. Russ (and Brenda)

    orders placed now.....I plan to overrun dealers batch by about 30 kits so if not too many orders placed you can expect mailing 2nd week in april

    I'm still waiting for them to arrive... I saw that the installation video had been posted, so I figured that bringing it over here would help everyone see how easy it should be to perform this task...

    Default Silly Question

    Possibly silly anyway. With the strength of these magnets and their proximity to "electronic things" on the byke .... any chance of something going awry with some internal circuitry? I am especially interested in the CB ..... about to have mine replace a SECOND time (two bad units on a 2016 after the CB on my 2012 was nearly flawless).

    BTW, I REALLY like these Magic Mirrors ... I have broken, or severely bent, pins on both my 2012 and 2016 RT. Looking forward to ordering my own and doing away with that spooky set of "SMACKS" required to remove the mirrors now.

    Thank you for the response ..... Ann

    If you read this thread :- http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...=Magic+mirrors

    You will see this question was raised at #68 and an answer was made Ref the electronics on the Spyders
    I don't believe when fitted they will cause any problems just ensue you keep them far from electronics when fitting them

    I am also waiting to hear some good news but with the time difference and knowing he has been extremely busy getting all the items together, Preparing to pack and post to us purchasers throughout the world and doing the installation video I am sure he will let us know as and when he can
    So don't worry Bob, Merlot is on the case

    once i receive said magnets i will then be able to reorder(i cant re-order til i know they are correct),then continue supply on a fortnightly basis

    as soon as they land i can complete the sets and start posting(mid march?)

    meanwhile i have done a couple of "how to" videos on you tube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj8fD5dfb3fg6cWbujjLw

    or there is a link on website www.magicmirrors.shop

    price rise on 1st of march due to handling costs(i had to take on an extra hand to help with packaging) but have tried to keep costs down
    they still dont cost as much as one front tyre

    thanks for your patience
    russ
    Will be waiting
    thanks

    Hi bob,eddie
    i ticked all buyers boxes at the same time
    it auto sends email for confirmation
    if you don't get one then just be aware that your package was sent earlier in the day regardless
    i don't know mailing times but when I buy from USA it seems to turn up quite quickly
    obviously I've never done this before so really no sure when you will actually get the kit

    re back orders
    mailouts for ALL outstanding orders hoping to complete by end of march

    thanks again for patience...russ
