      Post Other group buys?

      Xaio has been hard to get a hold of, but I have always been interested in some of the parts he has developed, mainly his 4-1 header and the crankshaft/camshaft pullies, which would make a big difference

      there are pull./gears we need on ebay for cores or if anyone has extras, we could also have those made up as well, and give some big gains from what i have read from xaio

      idk about the header though, that would be a lot more difficult to have made up

      any interest? seems like the underdrive is good to go

      why in the world do we have kermit smiles?

      The problem with group buys is development, the under drive pulley is cheap because you didn't pay for the r&d for it. If you want a company to just make you headers, there could be over $1000 just in making a prototype to build the copies from, then you also need to write a cad file, a jig, and / or something for the pipes to be bent the same way, etc.

      If you want a successful group buy you either need to have the parts of the ability to design /build them.

      Well, we know the headers are available, just need a conection to get the deal done, what about the other header, the 4x2x1, should we look into getting that one instead?

      good luck getting ahold of xaio

      at least the other pullies would be easy to have made

      I won't waste my time trying to geta hold of him, already did and got no response. But there was someone else in this forum offering a 4x2x1 header, I think he was from Europe, what about that guy?

      idk, still does not look like it will fit right to me, i just was looking for an option within the USA, if someone was to send a header in to a place with a large amount of people that are willing to pay, i think it could be done, i know we could get at least 10

      i would perfer xaio's header but shipping is so expensive, its a shame really

      Xiaogary could probably send 10 to you guys but you need to see his willingness to accept that responsibility for that much money and orders at once.

      What about getting one and than get a price quote from a place that could copy/produce it? That would cut the design part out... Oh, Hunter just sayd that. LOL
