PRICE CUT! Last Set of Rumbux Rear Protection/Soft Pannier Bars

[EricV]

If you happen to remember this, when you try that 4.5 plate on your ride, let me know if I'm gonna' have to score some new hardware (for the added plate thickness).

I (briefly) looked at my current bolts, last night. And, it appears that they have enough meat on 'em. But, if you find differently (and happen to recall this post), let me know.

EDIT- By the way, I did receive your order confirmation e-mails. Thank you.

I'll check and let you know, and post to the forums, but do not believe any hardware changes will be required. 1.5 mm is about 0.06"

How many orders are pending to get to the magic #5? I'm in the hunt for a skid plate, and maybe bars. Probably will do the whole setup depending on the mood that day.

Also, I don't have any of the OEM aftermarket crash bars. This isn't a big deal since the 3 piece kit has that wrap around bar anyway, right? I'm a little confused looking at their site, but it looks like they offer a kit w/o the wrap around front bar if you've already got OEM aftermarket, but also sell it as a standalone piece if you want the more robust Rumbux tubing down the road and ditch the OEM, right?

Hi Karson,

Right now I have an order in process, but all units are spoken for. I have another fellow on the fence for the next order, but no one has pulled the trigger for the next order, so I need at least 4 people. If I get 4 pre-orders, I'll do one on speculation to get us to the 5 needed to cost out for the shipping.

Yes, Rumbux does offer an add on bar for the OEM Yamaha bars. On the up side, you gain better side protection and rigidity since it adds another mounting point on each side and has much better side protection. On the down side, you can't get the crash bar mounted skid plate with the OEM add on set up.

The 3-piece full Rumbux set gives you the wrap around protection, PLUS the lower bash frame and it's skid plate that is mounted to the bash frame, NOT the oil sump. That's the real bonus and strength of the Rumbux full system, the skid plate being mounted to the lower bash frame instead of the engine's sump. For maximum protection, the 3-piece full Rumbux is the way to go. With the OEM Yamaha system and the Rumbux add on, you still need a skid plate and are limited to units that bolt to the engine oil sump, with the exception of the outstanding Ride On ADV unit that is bomb proof, but also costs nearly as much as the full Rumbux 3-piece unit.

All new Rumbux orders will be delivered with the thicker 4.5mm skid plate that is now standard. Honestly, the 3mm skid plate is pretty stout, but it's still a 600 lb bike and if you hit something immovable at a good clip, well you can use all the protection you can muster.

Please feel free to PM me or call if you have any questions not answered here. I can place another order as soon as I get the demand, so once pre-orders start happening, it can move along quickly. The usual 6-8 weeks from when I place the order to Rumbux is expected, but we have been enjoying fewer unexpeced delays now that I've done this many times. Customs no longer needs to "re-inspect" my shipments, as they all come from the same source and go to the same destination. The current order is expected to arrive stateside at the end of Feb if things continue to go well.

Do understand that Rumbux has raised prices as of 2/1/13, so my prices have gone up accordingly. I will post new pricing tomorrow. The one potential customer that contacted me recently will receive the quoted price.

New 2013 pricing will be as follows and still includes all shipping to your door:

Full Rumbux 3-piece set - Upper Crash bars, Lower Bash Frame, 4.5 Skid Plate - $xxx

Rumbux 2-piece set - Lower Bash Frame W/4.5 Skid plate - $xxx

Upper Add on Hoop to OEM Yamaha bars - (replaces the stock upper hoop to give better side protection, no skid plate option) - $xxx

Rumbux 3-piece Aux light brackets - (can be used with Yamaha/PIAA lights or others) - $xx

Upgrade 4.5 mm Skid Plate - $xx

My prices went up ~11%, but I'm keeping my increase to you lower than that to try and maintain a competitive pricing structure. The 4.5 mm Skid Plate is now standard on all orders, so this is only an upgrade for Rumbux customers already out there. As always, all prices include shipping to your door, never an additional charge beyond what's listed.

I currently have (1) person committed to the next order and another on the fence. I need to order at least 5 sets in order to make the shipping cost out. Shipping and transport, customs, etc. is the biggest cost to me in this process. Once I reach (4) pre-orders, I will place my order with Rumbux in SA, ordering (1) unit on speculation. Typically I order that as a full 3-Piece set and typically it's sold before it arrives in the US, but don't count on being the guy to get that set, please commit to the order if you want the product so that you won't miss out on the next order and have to wait until the next one builds.

At this point, it's looking like the next order placed with Rumbux will happen in the next two weeks, meaning delivery around the middle of April, just about the time many folks will be getting back out and riding more.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to post them here, PM me, email me at eric.gonedark@gmail.com or call me at 435-817-0809

Hi Augie, hope life is treating you well. I wasn't making enough of these up to get a decent price break, so opted not to sell them any more. PM me if you want and I can give you the info for the Vegas place that I had make mine up. A one off set would run around $100+. I believe Jaxon at Ride On ADV is or will be offering these too.

Hi Eric - Will the upper wrap around bar interfere with my fog light output if they're mounted in the OEM location under the headlamp assembly? I've got the Denali D2D's up there right now, and can't quite tell from pics. The Denali's are considerably smaller than OEM, so that's why I ask.

Also, I'm sure you've mentioned this already but I'm getting a cold and don't feel like searching O Do you require the total $775 upfront and charge the card upon order, or do you wait until you actually ship them out to charge the card? Or, do you just charge a certain amount as a down payment upfront.

I take your CC info, but do not charge the card until I am ready to place the order with Rumbux. At that time, the full amount will be charged and you will receive an email receipt of the CC transaction direct from the CC processing company. This will be your primary receipt. From that point, you can expect email updates from me as the process moves forward and delivery has been within the 6-8 week time frame. Naturally, if something happens to change that delivery window, like customs issues in London, you will be notified as soon as I learn of it. That only happened once, and is unlikely to happen again. That said, international shipping is full of steps and paperwork and sometimes weird stuff happens.

On the Denali D2Ds or other lights mounted in the nose with the oem mount locations, The center bracket for the Rumbux hoop goes down the middle, but does not block the oem mounting points. However, I am not sure how much depth the lights take up. There should be plenty of space for them, though depending on how low they hang down, the upper hoop crossing the nose may block some of the light.

I found it necessary to move my nose mounted light that fit nicely tucked in the nose, but spanned it entirely, to the Rumbux bars. It would not fit behind the Rumbux. See the earlier pics.

 

[Karson]

Well that about seals the deal then. I'll try and call you tomorrow.

 

[cmastrom]

[EricV]

For those that missed the order in process, the next order is building and is up to 3... so now is the time to jump in and get on the order that will bring your bars to you by spring!!

Give me a call or ask your questions now so that you can have your bars mid April when Momma Nature starts to let up and we can go riding!

[EricV]

is there any way to still get in on it ?? Just happened to check the forum.

Yes, and thanks for your order this morning. ::012::

For any others, I'm still taking orders today, untill 12:30 this afternoon for the order being placed with Rumbux today. These will be delivered early to mid April.

If you miss this order, no worries, I will start building pre-orders for the next one.

 

[oilfield_trash]

It seems I checked this thread a little late. My Altrider bars and plate will be here Friday. Doh!

 

[EricV]

@oilfield_trash - I was going to joke that AltRider has a good return policy... But I did order an extra set just in case you change your mind.

The January order is shipping to customers now. If you haven't already, you should receive an email with your tracking number this week.

The February order was placed on 2/20/13. I sent the first update out by email today, if you are in that order and have not gotten an email update, please let me know by PM or email, as I may have erred on your email addy.

I have one Rumbux 3-Part Crashbar/Skid Plate unit in the Feb. order that is not spoken for. These should get to customers in early to mid April, though if this order sees the same smooth process as the Jan. order, they may arrive in country by the end of March.

First come, first serve, same price of $xxx delivered to your door.

After that, I will take pre-orders that will again build until a qty of 5 is reached and another order will be placed with Rumbux SA.

Thanks for all the orders and your patience when waiting for your Rumbux Products!!
