Ok I will get to work on a discount. I will report back soon, cant ride now anyway


Ask 'em if the can change the name so I don't think about Mr. Ed everytime I hear the name "Wilbers". :laugh
 
I have emailed the Rep at two different addresses, with no response. I am guessing that they arent interested in a gorup buy, but if they ever reply I will let everyone know.

At least you tried. Thanks for making the effort.

Are you on the right site? http://wilbersusa.com/wilbers/index.htm

I would phone. The guy asks about 4 questions for each shock order.
1. your weight?
2. your passenger's weight?
3. your luggage weight?
4. your riding style?
 
There is a group buy going on at the Advrider.com site. You have to pm Ajay for details. Search for wilbers groupbuy and it should pop-up.
Just ordered mine from Wilbers. :D
 
Your effort is appreciated

that might explain why I got no response. He may not want to sell all his shocks in a group buy fashion.

He may not want to, but then again there is a month delivery time on the shocks now. There is a deadline for this deal :deal so if you want/need them better check it out fast on advrider.
 
I don't mean to spam the group, but...

If you're one of the "depends on the price" people, consider talking to Ted Porter this week. Ted runs the BeemerShop, an indie service shop. He's going to be getting a great price on Ohlins shocks, but only for the next week.

The deal is that Parts Unlimited, the Ohlins distributor in the US is offering dealers a big discount, and Ted is trying to take advantage of this and pass it along. It's worth a phone call to see if you can save enough to make it worthwhile.

Disclaimer: I do Ted's web site. Otherwise, I'm just a happy customer.
