Who would be interested in getting 11mm mirror stems?

Looking super , Mark. Can't wait to get mine.

I forgot to mention that the cost will be $95 USD each ($190 a pair) which includes the nuts plus the shipping costs.  I was hoping for less but everything considered I don't think that's too bad.  I would prefer payment by Paypal.  Like I said, once I get them back from plating I'll contact everyone to double check quantities and calculate the shipping.  Thank you all for your patience.  I never thought it would take this long.  I just posted in my #97 restoration thread that I'm going to stop telling everyone that "there's no rush".  Once they hear that it automatically goes on the back burner.  Of course that's not the only reason it took so long but I tried to get them as good as could be.

Me too! Just give the word!!!!!!

I believe I've contacted everyone who expressed interest in stems.  If you haven't heard from me please let me know.
I was hoping to actually ship something this week.  I picked up stems from the plater but he only did half of them because he said he is so busy.  Even that would have been OK but he didn't do the nuts, so it still doesn't do much good.  Aaarg!  Now he says he will finish everything by next week.  As soon as I have parts in hand I will send out Paypal invoices.  I feel like I'm starting to sound like the guys that I'm dealing with.  I apologize for another delay.

They are beautiful; very much worth the small wait.

Mark. No need to apologize. I'm sure everyone appreciates your fine work. I know for me, they will be a great addition to 576.

As most of you probably already know, the stems are done.  I had a small problem with some of them where the nuts wouldn't go past the shoulder.  On those stems there was a slight bulge right where the thread relief is.  With the plating thickness there is just enough to make it tight.  It seems that it can never go perfect.  I can rework and replate them and they will be fine.  But the good news is I made of few extras and have enough to satisfy everyones requests.  I've already shipped some out so some of you will be getting them soon.  If you are not happy with them, you can return them and I will refund your payment.  I think I contacted everyone but if I haven't please let me know.  I had one question about the stems.  They are not a complete mirror assembly, they are just the 11mm stem and nut.  Thank you all for your patience.

Can't wait to see them Mark! Thank you again for all of your hard work and doing this for our Members. Now, the search is on for a decent set of mirrors for 576 to hang on these stems!

I know Yamiya has mirrors (on 10mm stems that would swap out) but I'm not sure if they have the correct Honda logo. 

Apparently more than one person thought mirrors were included.  I apologize for any confusion and if that's what you thought you were getting I will gladly let you return your stems and refund your money.

Another minor detail.  For some reason (maybe because I paid online) the postage I actually paid was less than what I looked up online and quoted.  It amounts to about a $1 in most cases.  Any discrepancy in the shipping cost was unintentional.

What? No Mirrors? Just kidding.

Thanks Mark. You efforts are very much appreciated. Don't sweat the postage on my part.

Thanks again,
Keith

Hi Mark
Thanks for the email earlier. You're a star my friend. KP

Everyone whose paid has their stems on the way.  I'm leaving town in minutes  and won't be back until August 7 so any additional shipments will have to wait until then.  Sorry.

Mark. I knew it was only stems. My comment was more along the lines of, now I'll need to find a nice set of mirrors worthy of hanging on what I'm sure will be perfect stems. Thank you again for your hard work.

I know you knew Wayne.  And everything worked out fine.  The main reason I posted it was to make sure everyone was aware of it.  I wasn't upset about it and it really wasn't a big deal.

Mark, Just got mine. They are BEAUTIFUL! You really did an outstanding job. I greatly appreciate all your efforts. Thanks again, Keith
