RS Body Panel Braces.

[coreyt700]

OK! I finally have everything together to get these out to the riders. I know there are a few of you that have contacted me through pm and I am going to get you guys taken care of first. We are charging $55 plus shipping and tax. The information needed is what year your RS is, Your address (to calculate shipping) and your paypal info. No paypal, no problem just call us at the shop and we can run your card over the phone. (360)825-4502. I will figure out how to post some pictures (maybe IWN2RYD will help me with this) Check out his post for now there are pics there.

Are you a site sponsor?

Corey,

Is this for the internal thingy that prevents the side front panels from moving in when you lean your thighs/knees on them?

Are there any issues with heat dissipation or anything else? Simple install, I presume?

Thanks...

I am in fact a site sponsor. You will have to cut me some slack if my eddiquite is not proper, I am kinda new to posting on forums. My name is Corey, I am the sales manager and owners son at Clem's Enumclaw Powersports, our service manager is also on here as SPYDERJEFF he has been posting some tech stuff as he gets it. If there is anything else we can do to help out let us know (even if its not local we will try). To address the heat issue, we have installed this "bridge" on a few spyders now and no one has reported cooling issues or excess heat build up.

Thanks, I was just curious if you were a supporting vendor as we love all of those!

I'll cut you some slack with your 'etiquette', but you get no slack with spelling! Just kidding'...please put on some pics and give us the ins and outs with installation...I'm likely to get one...glad it doesn't affect heat in the engine compartment...

Again I apologize, I have no Idea how to place pictures in here(I need to do some studying). Here is a link to a thread that contains pictures of our original install. All you need to do is remove the side covers and top cover, using a hook and loop tape it attatches to the backbone of the frame right behind the airbox. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=26993

I thought I said that in post #5? I must be on everyone's ignore list.

I did see it and I appreciate the backup, I just figured I would bring it back up so everyone would see it. Thanks.

If we live out of your state, what is the tax for?

You did, but those pics are just the prototype they did for one customer. Seeing the real thing and install pics would be nice. Some of us may have mods installed that could conflict with this unit - thus why a pic is so important.

Corey-

Looking for my invoice to pay you. I've sent several messages with no response. Trying this thread as a last attempt.

Fire,

Not to sound like a tough crowd, but I'm with ya on that...I think the idea is awesome and the product might be a 'can't miss', but updated pro shots of the final product will help to move the product faster...if I'm impressed, I'm in...I do find that my side/front panels move in under the plastic tabs when I ride curves pretty hard...

Also, any idea about tax on out of state purchase?

[sandrunr1]

AS I have ridden my for over 10k, I have as yet to put my knees on the plastic and crush it to the frame. I dont see a need.

It's those tabs on the Y panel that are the problem---- they overlap the side panels quite often-- doesn't matter how much you 'crush' the side with your knees.....

Oh, that's what you call them...those darn tabs...I agree...I constantly have to re-seat the panels so that the tabs aren't visible...if this is a fix for this and it gives more support to the area, it's worth it...

Also, like you said, it doesn't matter if you lean on the bike or not, the panels flip over the tabs quite often...argh!

I will dig into the tax thing, I am with you if you do not live in WA than you should not have to pay WA taxes, however I want to cover our a** as a business. IF I DO NOT NEED TO CHARGE STATE SALES TAX WE WILL REFUND THOSE OF YOU WHO PAID ALREADY VIA PAYPAL. Pictures are on the way, the new design is the same as the prototype other than we used a stiffer more heat resistant material(the original is still running strong) I will try and get some up close and personal pics posted this week. Thank you for your patience and coaching on here guys.

Glue a little piece of plastic on tab making it longer.Works on mine.

You don't have to charge sales tax to people ordering out of state-- as long as you're shipping it out of state.....

Now---- are they supposed to pay sales tax on such items? Yes -- to their own state--- but no one really does..... They have area on state tax forms to pay such taxes..... but like I said most people just don't do it.

Here in Michigan a bunch of people got into big trouble for buying smokes online and not paying the $2.00 a pack state taxes---- the state tracked them down and made them pay up --- some people owed thousands of dollars.....

I doubt most states come after folks for the basic sales tax ---- we'll see this change in the years to come where we all have to pay tax for everything bought online....

Yeah, your best friend Walmart (joking, of course) wants everyone to pay taxes for Amazon and ebay, etc...it's amazing how a company that puts everyone else out of business is suddenly feeling the heat from other companies that run a rather good business. I really like Amazon...

As far as taxes go, you are 100% correct. You do NOT collect a state tax when you ship out of state, period! No states are going to go after anyone at this time (something is fishy with your cigarette example...must've really been a big business) because everyone buys stuff online these days. If states start to clamp down, you're going to see a major push to get rid of those politicians. It's enough with the political bullying and taxes...it makes no sense that if I buy anything from let's say Michigan, that I have to pay a MI, or for that matter, a MD tax...

You guys are absolutely right! I was just making sure to cover my bases. For those of you who got billed before this was brought to my attention, you will notice I edited your invoices(not paid yet) and refunded taxes (already paid) to your account. Again thanks to everyone for helping me out, I am starting to get the hang of it.

"something is fishy with your cigarette example...must've really been a big business" It happened to a good friend of ours a couple of years ago, cost her $4000.
