Hey guys, I have to apologize for not posting an update lately. Work and pers. life have been way to busy to got on the forum to any extent. Haven't even had time to ride. OK, enough whining. Regarding the "group buy" that Duke mentioned, this was not intended to be a group buy in a classic sense. It was an attempt to establish a new supplier for triple trees at a discounted rate, for continued, ongoing orders. That said, there isn't much of an update regarding progress with Hammer. Late last week I requested that Steven send back the trees that Tony and I sent, for samples. I sent an email to Tony just to make certain of the ship to address. I haven't heard back from him but Steven shipped my loaners and is waiting for a reply from Tony. Also, in the email to Steven, I asked for a status of the build. His response was that they are still building the Harley Trees and that ours will follow.
Steven has continuously told me and I think Tim (too) that he's very much interested in building trees for us.
But we should have, at the very least, seen samples by now.
I'm going to send Steven an email informing him that we're pulling the plug on this, from a "focused group" concern. I don't know what that means from a forum topic perspective (closed, suspended etc etc???). I'll mention to Steven that it is up to his discretion as to whether or not he wants to pursue manufacturing our trees. I would think that in the near future if he does have something to offer, there will still be anxious customers. However, keeping this topic going is probably not the right thing to do any longer.
Once again my apologies for not being able to pull this thing off as intended and for not posting recently (I really have been working 15 -16 hrs a day, 7 days a week and have just not had time, but assure you, I would have had there been news).
