For Sale: 12" Road 6 Customs Z-Bars (Black, 1") - Never Mounted

sirbOOm · 09-19-2009, 09:25 AM

I have a set of those Road 6 Customs Z-Bars. They have the following specs:

Rise: 12"
Pull-back: 6.5"
Width: 31"
Bottom width: 9.5"
Color: gloss black
Knurled, drilled, and dimpled

Same specs as the eBay listing linked to above. Same exact bars. These have never been mounted... only put next to my stock bars to see if I liked the rise. The bars are in Europe right now. I can bring them back with me in my luggage to the States on September 24th if bought and paid before then and ship from Canada (where I land initially) or the U.S. (depends on where you are to save shipping). Otherwise, you will have to wait until Christmas to get the bars shipped to you because I'm not dealing with customs bullcrap. They are nuts in Germany. I can, of course, ship to anyone in the Euro Union or we can meet somewhere for a pick-up. I'm near Frankfurt. I won't be going to any more HD events in Europe, if there are any, so we can't meet there.

If you're interested, PM me. I'll get a picture up later. But same bars as the eBay ad.

I paid $140 + shipping. They charge $20 for shipping, so will I for the U.S. I will have to quote you for CA and Europe.

Make me an offer I can't refuse. Remember... I don't need to get rid of them. They make a nice decoration and could end-up on an Ironhead I buy in the future. Nah, they'd look like crap on an Ironhead, that's a lie. But they are a great decoration!

i wanna T shirt

sirbOOm · 09-19-2009, 11:15 AM

You are disqualified from the t-shirt exchange on this ENTIRE site. Dictated, noted, and scribed. The senate agrees, too. Slap...

sk8rod · 09-19-2009, 11:34 AM

but in mitigation,, i started the whole T shirt exchange program on this site

sirbOOm · 09-20-2009, 05:30 AM

Well... sometimes people start great things... only.

sk8rod · 09-20-2009, 07:43 AM

sometimes your words can cut thro me like poisoned barbs

pepper · 09-20-2009, 02:37 PM

How do you reckon them handlebars would look chromed Nick?

sirbOOm · 09-21-2009, 05:17 AM

Sometimes people lean towards buying your shocks. Not feelin' the Progressives or Works Trackers. I'm just worried your shocks have had use with a lowering kit so they could be hurtin', plus they are used. And if I needed a rebuild, I'd have to explain the p'coat.

sirbOOm · 09-21-2009, 05:21 AM

Chromed, eh? Seriously? Well if we're talking about YOUR bike, quite honestly I think they'd look cheesy on anything but a rat or a bob. Well... I think they'd only look good on an Iron or Nightster, to be real honest. On your bike, if you were thinkin' apes, I'd get Gimps or something with less edges and circle holes and what not. But it's up to you. In chrome? I hate chrome, so I think they'd look like crap. There you go... nobody ever said I wasn't honest. Except a couple girls I cheated on... needless to say. I'm willing to sell, sell, sell... not going to use them.

they aint hurtin,, and the powder coat is a pro job

BUT, hell,, just get them straight from Harris ( the site i mailed you )

or, check eBay

Hmmmm,, dammit,, was going to offer another alternative,, but its just fallen out of my noggin

besides,, i am thinkin that you as a customer would be a freakin nightmare

sirbOOm · 09-21-2009, 06:55 AM

I'm the best customer you can get, brah. Let's talk about this... it's an interesting topic because, yes, I am a pain. We all know this... but that's how I get shit right... it's what I do. I'd bet there are a few dealers, sellers, etc. out there than think I'm an annoying customer. Good. Those who provide honest service and SHOW ME instead of TELL ME, talk TO ME instead of AT ME get my business, no matter their price. Can't stand dealers that assume I know nothing. My dealer has gotten used to me... before they were trying to walk all over me. I want to learn as much as get it done right but I'm not willing to pay someone who can't or won't explain the situation, explain what could be done, explain... show... discuss... Just because they show me what the issue is, demonstrate it, and even show me how to fix it doesn't mean I'm just taking their knowledge. It means I can trust them. I spend money, and too much, on my bike. It's my money. If a seller wants it... they have to realize I'm either a customer or I'm a walker. I'm not the high dollar customer that will walk in google eyed willing to spend anything. I want it right the first time... skipping the B.S. in-between. That takes pushing. We know this. Just sayin'... and not directed at you, King SK8 IV. I want your shocks, but only think holding me back is.... they be 12". I kind of wanna drop without a lowering bracket.

sk8rod · 09-21-2009, 07:08 AM

i hear ya,, anything i do, anything i make etc has to be perfect or its binned.. so i know where you are coming from..

Also this business has shown me the extent of my obsessiveness when it comes to a flawless job, i am very passionate about the bikes i build and they all have to be better than any other Co out there or i aint happy..

lowering blocks on mine are temp,, as i want to ditch all the crap, the mounts, the caliper mount etc etc and fabricate my own swingarm with integrated shock mounts at a height i choose

doesnt help you,, but thats just to let you know i hate lowering blocks also,,,

you need 11" progressives, my friend

There's a couple pix on the board showing the inside of Rocket Bob's Cycle barn.
You should see the size of his 'bin'

!!

sk8rod · 09-21-2009, 07:51 AM

not in that barn anymore

sirbOOm · 09-21-2009, 07:59 AM

I want 11" so I think I'm going to get the Works shocks as Progressive can only give me 11.5" unless I get the 412s or 812s, which are crap.

sk8rod · 09-21-2009, 08:01 AM

well i am glad we got that sorted and i feel its all thanks to Bens input at the end

I appreciate your honesty, yeah they would look like crap chromed.....my bike is just pretty much gonna stay the way it is, and my next bike will be some sort of dark black bobber, prolly a Flyrite, or may even try to build my own...

Yeah Murray, they have some sweet models to choose from in any state, from roller to to fully finished, you choose......and for the pundits and naysayers, ye of little faith, like David Brinkley said, "A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him"......

sk8rod · 09-22-2009, 11:57 AM

judging from the look of that petal bike rear,, your fckin golden pal

pepper · 09-22-2009, 12:13 PM

A petal (from Ancient Greek petalon "leaf", "thin plate") is one member or part of the corolla of a flower. The corolla is the name for all of the petals of a flower; the inner perianth whorl, term used when this is not the same in appearance (color, shape) as the outermost whorl (the calyx) and is used to attract pollinators based on its bright color. It is the inner part of the perianth that comprises the sterile parts of a flower and consists of inner and outer tepals. These tepals are usually differentiated into petals and sepals. The term "tepal" is usually applied when the petals and sepals are similar in shape and color. In a "typical" flower the petals are showy and colored and surround the reproductive parts. The number of petals in a flower (see merosity) is indicative of the plant's classification: eudicots (the largest group of dicots) having typically four or five petals and monocots and magnoliids having three, or some multiple of three, petals.[1]

A bicycle pedal is the part of a bicycle that the rider pushes with his or her foot to propel the bicycle. It provides the connection between the cyclist's foot or shoe and the crank allowing the leg to turn the bottom bracket axle. Pedals usually consist of a spindle that threads into the end of the crank and a body, on which the foot rests or is attached, that is free to rotate on bearings with respect to the spindle.

For the sake of literacy I've attached visual aids, to help with future recognition.....
