Hey guys.

A few of you already know of this but we'd like, and need as many people on board as possible.

Double Dog Moto already produce the world's first carbon fibre kickstand. Sadly though, for mainly Ducati and MV though. Here's some pics to whet your appetite:

Read about them here:

http://www.doubledogmoto.com/products/cf.kickstands.html

Member Death R1 has very kindly contacted Double Dog directly about getting some made for R1's.

He's had a great response back from them where they've agreed to go ahead with production as long as we can meet a few of their understandably necessary requirements:

We need a minimum of ten orders to initiate the obvious expensive process of Double Dog tooling up to make these stands.

Double Dog have said cost would be $195 per stand, decreasing to $190 for an order of 20 or more.

The initial order would need paying for IN FULL before production begins, which is expected to take four weeks +\- a week.

They have asked to be provided with a standard stand from each model required which Death R1 has very gratefully done, for each of the three models needed.

The ranges we've determined as needing a different stand are as follows:

98-01
02-08
09-11

I will be willing to collect funds into my Paypal account ready for forwarding to Double Dog. I regularly help many members here with purchases both very large and small, own a bike shop here in the UK and work for a well known bike magazine here also. If needed I'll pm anyone my full contact details and references from a few members.


So, please can anyone who is able to make a CONFIRMED order with PAYMENT IN FULL in approx two weeks once enough people have had the opportunity to see this, please speak up listing WHICH MODEL YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORDER and I'll add you to the list below:

1. Death R1 - 98-01 - USA - PAID
2. Marcaztls - 02-08 - UK - PAID
3. CARBONAR1 - 02-08 - AUSTRALIA - PAID
4. xdonniedarkox - 02-08 - USA - PAID
5. SamC - 02-08 - AUSTRALIA - PAID
6. Rorlow - 02-08 - USA - PAID
7. da rza - 02-08 - USA - PAID
8. burn-z - 09-11 - USA - PAID
9. rossm - 02-08 - UK - PAID
10. Patrick.sheil - 02-08 - AUSTRALIA - PAID
11. sykor1 - 98-01 - AUSTRALIA - PAID
12. mrailing - 02-08 - USA - PAID
13. broc944 - 02-08 - USA - PAID
14. polakw/aR1 - 02-08 - USA - PAID

Please ask any questions and we'll do our best to answer them or contact Double Dog for an answer.

We've yet to find out how shipping will work - if Double Dog will send them out individually direct to each buyer or if it's up to one of us to be sole distributor. I don't mind doing that but obviously being in the UK and the majority of orders being Stateside then it may be better for one of our US members to do as Double Dog are an American company.

IF ANYONE HAS OR KNOWS ANYONE WITH A 1999-2002 R6 THEN THEY USE EXACTLY THE SAME STAND AS A 98-01 R1 SO ONE OF THESE DOUBLE DOG CARBON STANDS WILL FIT STRAIGHT ON, NO MODS AT ALL. PLEASE POST UP IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE FOR THAT RANGE R6.

Thanks for reading guys.

how well will the carbon kickstand hold up when compared to the alum stocker? not worried about the weight but can you sit on the bike while on its stand? will it hold up to winds or other forces that a normal stand sees? just dont wanna put on a baller kickstand only to sit on the bike while on the stand and have it snap on me.

4) What warranty typically comes with a carbon fiber kick stand as it pertains to breakage ? They are fully warranted for replacement or refund if they break but that doesn’t include any damage to the bike as a result of the break. We haven’t had any complaints so far and I think you’d have to really be mucking around to have one fail. In fact if the stock stand would break due to some sort of misuse, then ours probably would too

Right guys, Death R1 has very kindly paid out to buy one of each standard stand to cover the three ranges we need, as CARBONAR1 has said.

That's cost him $180.

A few of us have already 'donated' some money towards this to him via Paypal, and I can only thank those who have for their generosity.

So far Death's recouped $100 so just another $80 to go.

Please can anyone able and willing, send what you can via Paypal to

info@thedevilsz.com

Please either pm Death R1 or post up here what you've donated so we can keep track and make sure we collect enough.

Thanks for the help guys, without this it would be very hard to get this group buy working.

Got a question.. Use the stand on everydays roads or even gravel or unever road wont warrant the superfast destruction of the carbon stand?
