I may as well join in, I think I'll keep the bike another couple seasons, so I may as well be comfortable.

The list has grown to 28 in two and a half days. Not bad!
I've had some questions about pricing and when this group buy will actually take place. 1. Pricing depends on what you want RDL to build. Go to their website and spec out your seat. Add all the features together for a total price. Best case scenario - subtract 20% from that total. Last year RDL gave group buy members 20% off their entire order, not just the seat. For example... I also had them recover my backrest pad to match the seat. I got 20% off that as well. The discount covered everything but the shipping (and tax possibly if you live in California). 2. Build Dates... I have no idea and probably will not for some time. I just put this together Friday night and I haven't had a chance to call and propose this to RDL yet. I will do that tomorrow. If it goes like it did with the GL1800 group buy last year, RDL may not give me an answer right away as to whether they will even entertain our group buy. I will have to play it by ear on their time clock. Trust me that I will let you all know here as soon as I know. If last year is any indication they will start group buy builds around the end of December and they will go through sometime in February. For background, you can go to the GL1800 link I provided on page one and read through how that one went. It will give you some insight as to what to expect.

Thank you from a V-Strommer!
PM sent. I was too far down on the list last year. Not this year! I already bought an extra seat to deal with the wait. Thanks Mike!

41 people and counting as of Monday morning @ 8:00 AM. I'm going to call RDL this afternoon.
A few people have requested that I email them personally with updates on the group buy so they don't have to monitor this thread. There will be too many people involved in this for personal emails, therefore I will not be doing this. All updates will be posted on this thread (definitely) and if I have time, the FJR 1300 Forum and the GL1800 Forum. If you are unable to monitor this thread for the updates, (which will ultimately include when to call in and order) please don't sign up for the group buy. Thank you, Mike Williams

Well... It seems I have some bad news. I spoke with Kim and she told me that RDL most likely will not do a group buy this year. She said they were back logged on orders and didn't think they would catch up in time to entertain a group buy this year.
Kim said that I could check back with her in the middle of November and see if they had changed their position on it, but right now it was doubtful. I asked her if it would be worth wild to continue collecting names and she said that it would probably turn out to be a waste of my time. So I put it to you good people... Would you like me to continue to build a list or just scrap the thing? I certainly don't want to hold up people that were about to place a conventional order for something that likely won't happen. Please share your thoughts with me on this.
