Hi everyone-

Since I enjoyed the Clearwater lights on my motorcycle and their flashlight so much, I asked Glenn Stasky (the president of Clearwater Lights) if I could organize a group buy. He agreed and here's the result.

WHAT CAN YOU GET?

The following items are being offered in the group buy:

•Glenda lights - 10 orders = 10% discount. 30 orders = 15% discount. 50 orders = 20% discount

https://www.clearwate...opg_glenda.html

•Krista lights - 10 orders = 10% discount. 30 orders = 15% discount. 50 orders = 20% discount

https://www.clearwate...opg_krista.html

•Flashlight - 10 orders = 10% discount. 30 orders = 15% discount. 50 orders = 20% discount

https://www.clearwate...flashlight.html

•Glenda brake lights - 10 orders = 10% discount. 30 orders = 15% discount. 50 orders = 20% discount

https://www.clearwate...brakelight.html

•Replacement BMW R1150 GS headlamps - 5 orders = 10%, 10 = 15% discount, 20 = 20% discount

https://www.clearwate..._headlight.html

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

The group buy will run from November 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010 OR until the maximum number of units have been spoken for. I will post regular updates.

If you are interested in one or more of the products, send an EMAIL to [email protected] In the email, you MUST include the following:

•Your REAL name

•Your FJRforum handle

•Which product(s) you would like to purchase

•Your email address

•Your telephone number

The cap for each product is listed. Once again, the group buy will be cut off either when the cap for each product has been reached OR until November 30.

WHAT IS THE WHOLE CAP THING, ANYWAY?

Glenn is happy to offer this deal to the FJRforum community but not in unlimited numbers. Therefore, quantities are limited. It will be first come, first served. As indicated earlier, I will post updates on a regular basis on how many are left as we go on.

The cap is: BMW GS replacement headlight asseembly - 20 units

EVERYTHING ELSE - 50 units of each product

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

After November 30, I will email each person with instructions on how to place your order. Please do not try and place your order early as you will not get your discount. You need to wait & hear from me.

WHERE CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE LIGHTS?

Many people on the FJRforum (including myself) have posted their impressions of the various lights offered by Clearwater right on this website. You can also visit https://www.clearwate....com/index.html and see for yourself. Google is also your friend.

CAN I REALLY ORDER MORE THAN ONE DIFFERENT SET OF LIGHTS?

Yes, you most certainly can. For example, I have both Glenda & Krista lights on my Yamaha FJR1300. I also have one of their flashlights.

The GLENDA lights:

The KRISTA lights:

SO, WHAT IS CLEARWATER GIVING ME FOR THIS?

Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Zero. I'm doing it because I really like the lights and thought others would as well.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Just a couple of minor things. If you have any questions, please post them in this thead. Others may have the same questions. I do have a job and a life but will try and respond as quickly as possible. I'm usually on the website daily. PLEASE USE THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ORDERS!!! The email address [email protected] is for ORDERS only. Questions in the thread.

I hope all of you find this group buy useful. If it's a success, I may be able to pull off a couple of others for the FJRforum community.

Thanks!!!

So, is this open Nov.1st-30th -OR- when the max (50) is reached right? So this is just a list for sign up and then the Credit Cards get charged with the appropriate discount...Right?

Good on ya for organizing this Group Buy. :good:

 
Can't wait to see a line of FJRs coming at me with these babies on. When I ride in a group, I like to take sweep. That way, everybody can look back and see that the group is complete; there's no doubt about it.

 
Correct. The group buy will run until the limit of each product has been reached OR the time limit has been reached.

The email essentially works like a sign-up list. The names and product(s) that people wish to purchase are being collected. Once the group buy is over, an email will be sent to everyone who got in on it with instructions on how to make their purchase. I modeled this after the Russell group buy since that went off so smoothly.

As a reminder, if you wish to purchase more than one product, you are free to do so. I believe someone has already ordered up 2 sets of lights and a flashlight.

Any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Cheers!

I just sent Clearwater an E-mail. I am in for TWO sets of the Krista lights. I hope there is a little more action on this to get the discount higher.

So far, the group buy is doing ok. By the end of the time limit I'm pretty sure we'll get to the 20% discount threshold. If we don't, I'm going to ask (beg) Glenn @ Clearwater to give FJR forum members the 20% anyway. No promises on that...but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get it done.

As an aside, if you need a flashlight be sure to check theirs out. It's very bright and very solid. Plus it comes with 2 rechargeable batteries and a charger in a nice case.

 
I'm in for a set of the Krista's.

Thanks for setting this up!

Yeah, the picture of the doubled up lights on the Clearwater site is where I first got the idea to go with 2 sets of the Krista's.

Thank you very much for organizing this group buy, I just sent in my request e-mail for the full set of Clearwater lights, both front and rear for my '06. I'm adding a flashlight as well.

I was at the San Mateo Motorcycle Show this past weekend, rumor has it that Glenn will add the powder coated stainless steel mounting brackets for the large Krista lights for free. These are the brackets which fit under the mirror stalks.

If you are even thinking about adding auxiliary lighting on your bike, now is the time to do it.

The more people get in on this, the lower the price.

I truly believe had I bought these last January when I had the funds available my first FJR would still be on the road. Now that I have it's replacement this is one of the first things I'm adding - in spades!!!

Hi Brodie-

The group buy has picked up quite a bit in the last few days as the deadline is drawing closer. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new lights just as much as I have enjoyed mine. One word about the flashlight...don't shine that near anyone's eyes. It is BRIGHT. Lol. I keep mine with me in a little belt pouch that was designed for a Maglite.

As an aside to all, be sure to post up some pictures and your impressions when you receive them.

Lastly, Glenn had indicated that the FJR Krista lights will come with the mirror mounting brackets. I used Garauld's excellent brackets on mine (since Clearwater wasn't making FJR specific brackets at the time) but Glenn wanted to offer a complete solution...so the FJR forum members should be the first to receive the new Clearwater brackets.

Cheers!

Hi everyone...just a quick update that more & more emails are coming in.

I cross posted this to ADVrider and a bunch of people of there have placed orders as well. I'm fairly hopeful we'll get to the max discount. There are still some spots left on the group buy if you're interested.

Cheers and happy Thanksgiving!
