Diaphragms

[Donvito]

Just found out that Sirius if out of diaphragms for my 87 VR. They told me 2-3 weeks but I also heard Sept. 28. Is there another company, JBM, that makes them for my bike? If so, has anyone tried them? What do you think, pros and cons compared to Sirius?

 

Thanks.

The SCI ones fit the OEM slider without any modifications. Stretch the old one off and pop on the new one.

 

The JBM ones the slider had to be modified by removing the rear plastic retaining ring on the slider. Once you do that there's no going back.

 

Not hearing any "this one works better than the other". Just different ways of mounting them and dpends how far you want to get away from OEM issue.

 

If I'd had broken or loose retainers on the sliders I would have gone with the JBM's. As my sliders were fine I stayed with the "close to factory" fit as possible.

If anyone has a new set of Sirius diaphragms that you would like to sell please pm me. It's for an 87 VR. Thanks.

You have to watch Sirius, sometimes the web site says out of stock but they have sets up on ebay. other times there are no sets on ebay but the web site has them in stock.

When I got mine there were none available on ebay or their website, I called and pleaded and whined a lot and they managed to find a set. But I see on the website that they no longer take phone orders. Still cant hurt to try.

Just exchanged a couple e-mails with Mr. Martin at SCI.

 

Just to have to keep an eye on the product listing on their site.

But here is the update on the ordering process through PayPal to get the club price of $79.00.

 

 

Open your PayPal account and select "Send Money".

 

Enter the Sirius PayPal address: paypal@siriusconinc.com

 

Enter the total amount of: $92.49 USD (that's the club price of $79.99 + $12.50 shipping. Current price confirmed by Mr. Martin on July 9th 2013.

 

Mark transaction for "Goods". No fee will be charged as it is figured into the selling price.

 

On the next page in the note box mark it as ATTN: Mr. Martin

 

State your product "SD-1 X 4" for the Venturerider Club price and your club name.

 

Then your full name and your complete mailing address.

 

I got a comfirmation e-mail from their CS and they shipped next day.

 

The only way to get our price is doing the PayPal directly. No

way to get it going through the Sirius site.

 

NOTE: The $12.50 shipping is UPS Ground with tracking which SCI prefers to use.

 

They will mail them for $5.00 but you would need to adjust the total and state that request in the "Note" section on PayPal during payment.

But the question is, do they actually have them in stock.

I would hate to send a PP payment now for something that will not be in stock till almost October.

The web site shows out of stock till 9-28.

[Snaggletooth]

At this time no, they are not in stock.

 

The one thing I like about ordering from SCI is that if an order is placed for an item that is out of stock they quickly refund that amount back to your PayPal account. They do not hold it until the product is available.

 

Many suppiers would sit on it. SCI is has showed excellent CS communication when a problem comes up.

 

So waiting until the product shows available is still the best bet.

 

I've had orders in the past that came back into stock well ahead of the date posted on the web site. Hope these come in sooner also.
