Condor Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share #53 Posted May 5, 2008 Just to keep everyone in the loop, I traded email with the manufacturer and the braces are off to be anodized this morning. Things are moving right along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kort53 Posted May 12, 2008 Share #54 Posted May 12, 2008 Just got back to the site and checked on the status of the braces. Guess I didn't get an email notice of the time frame so I missed the payment date. If you had to get any extras that didn't get paid for let me know because I would still like one if you end up with any extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, Lots of things have been going on, and we tried to let you know the haps, but you have your CP preferences checked to not receive email from any board member. This coupled with infrequent visits, and it's tough keeping you informed. I don't think there'll be anyone backing out, but if they decide that they don't want theirs, I'll let them post it in the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share #56 Posted May 16, 2008 Just received shipping notices for the forks this AM. So things are getting close. I emagine I'll be able to start shipping your braces early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share #57 Posted May 21, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know that I picked up the braces this morning at the PO. Shipping will take just a tad longer than originally planed as I ordered smaller priority boxes. The boxes I had planed on using turned out to be way too big. This time smaller is better....

Dano Posted May 21, 2008 Share #60 Posted May 21, 2008 Hey Jack, what's my chance at getting bumped up towards the front of the shipping line? (:mo money: ) That thing would be sweet to have on when I get her done early next week!! (Don't tell anyone about the ice cream bribe above!)

Condor Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share #62 Posted May 28, 2008 Just a quick update. The braces are being packed this AM... Wed. What a PITA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJB Posted May 28, 2008 Share #63 Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks for all the trouble you have gone through Condor. Don't forget to let us Canadian folk know if the shipping costs are higher than what you quoted. You should not have to subsidize our hobbies...or maybe you should?

Don't forget to let us Canadian folk know if the shipping costs are higher than what you quoted. You should not have to subsidize our hobbies...or maybe you should? Thanks BJ. I don't think there'll be any difference, but the USPS did toss me a curve this week and raise the US Flat Rate base by a few cents. I haven't looked at the new?? Canadian shipping rates yet... Gas prices are driving me nutz.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPORTZAGE Posted May 30, 2008 Share #73 Posted May 30, 2008 Hey all , newbie idiot here and just two months into Venture-ism. Thought miine had the super brace already but turns out from last description I read it doesn't. Mine is about 1/2 inch thick and has hex top bolts. Since I missed the gi-normous order at the good price what would be my best option at this point to get one? Sorry Condor because I messaged you once when ordering and told you I thought mine alreaady had one but I didn't know what I was talking about.Did do the clutch upgrade already tho and wow..what a difference ! Any reply's would be appreciated! Bob-1990 Venture Royale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
