Organizing a group purchase from a non-sponsor is no different than advertising for that non-sponsor. It just isn't fair to the good folks who sponsor and thus fund the ongoing operation and maintenance of the site.

If you want to organize a group purchase for say rearsets from Woodcraft, then please go through one of our sponsors, any of them. That would be perfectly acceptable.

Unfortunately, I don't have ANY time to discuss the issue further. Thanks for understanding.

I understand your point. My point is it is not as cut and dry as arranging a group buy from a supporter of the site. This is a product that is currently not produced that I am trying to get for the Buell community. I doubt anyone not directly impacted would be interested in doing the leg work to make this happen.

No worries though. Sorry if I didn't play within the rules.

Call Al at American Sport Bike and get him involved.
He just recently did a group buy for some exhausts.

I'm up for a group buy through amreicansportbike. But we (or american sportbike) have to let Woodcraft know of the interest so they will make them.

I would second Zack's advice - this sounds something they'd be interested in carrying anyways.

Also, grandstand designs does race parts and has brought in products from other manufacturers, like the TH muffler.

You can still make this happen.

This is a one time run that Eric is willing to do IF he can 20 twenty people interested. It's not dead just being organized elsewhere.
