I was horsing around with a potential project (cabin fever at work here) and I noticed that the Triumph connector sets for the SH775 regulators were backordered at BikeBandit. I didn't check the other (Triumph) sources, but I thought it might suck pretty heartily if a GSR denizen were to go through the trouble of upgrading a failed R/R with the SH775, only to find that there's a long wait for the connectors to become available. After the winter we've had, I think our riding season will be even more precious than usual!
OK, so it occurred to me that I'm all set up for shipping stuff quickly, and since it was about three degrees F at the time, it would be neighborly to obtain maybe a dozen of these and keep them handy for GSR members, should the need arise.
I bought 11 of them, backordered, from BikeBandit. Just enough to get the total cost over $100, for free shipping. It took forever, but I now have eleven of them ready to go. I will sell them at exactly my cost, which is $9.46 + shipping + Paypal fees (unless you pay as a 'gift').
Come next week, the shipping will be the usual $2.25, same as for all O-ring sales. (Until then, I'm out of #0 mailers, and my little mailers aren't big enough for these connectors, so my only choice is Priority at $5.80. Might as well just wait.).
There won't be any option for these on my website; this will be via Paypal or snail mail only. My Paypal address is: robert@cycleorings.com
We'll see how this goes. Maybe I don't sell many. Maybe they sell out right away, and I'll try to restock. Could be a one-shot offer, or an ongoing endeavor. It won't save the buyer much money (especially if there's a Triumph dealer nearby), but the idea is to save some riding season.
These connectors are really substantial, with nice fat wiring. Very heavy-duty, and bulkier than I expected. Here's what eleven of them look like:
