Patrick from Big Bike Outfitters has offered his C14 bag liners to us for a group buy. He will post details here. As always discount increases with sales.
These bags were discussed in this thread:

Thanks for the interest in a group purchase! I would be glad to extend a cost savings of 5% off on a group purchase of 5 to 9 sets of bags, 10% off on a group purchase of 10 to 14 sets of bags and 15% off on a group purchase of 15 sets of bags or more.

I do not know how this forum handles group purchase arrangements but on my end it is as simple as finding out how many members plan to purchase, picking a day for the purchase and emailing a discount code that applies the appropriate discount to the purchasing members. The discount code would expire after 24 hours.

Full specs can be seen on BigBikeOutfitters.Com

Regular Price $79.95 Delivered

10 - 14 Sets $71.96 Delivered

15 or More   $67.96 Delivered

Once again I want to thank all of you for the warm reception and the kind words. Let me know when and if you want to do this.

Best Regards,

For all who have already ordered I will work out a separate deal to compensate. kawacop1642 is evaluating a new product for the Concours 14 and I will make sure folks who already ordered the liners get a great deal. I will email each of you with the details after kawacop1642 reviews it.

Conrad

I do not have any inside pics. There are 2 pockets on each interior side. They are identical to the 2 outside pockets in the picture (total of 4 inside pockets and 2 outside pockets per bag). Other than that the 600 denier polyester material has a 3 mil PVC coating that faces the interior of the bag. On the next production run I will have a interior side pic taken before assembly.

Hope that helps.

Patrick, how long will the discounts hold?  Is there a date you will stop offering it?

The promotion code that will apply the discount at checkout on our website will be valid for 24 hours. If it would help I could extend to 48 hours. After the special price promotion for a volume buy expires I would be open to applying the same volume pricing structure whenever the forum does another group buy. I will try to explain why I can’t offer the volume price for single orders down the road.

My ability to compete in the very mature motorcycle accessory market as a fairly new domestic manufacture demands that I deliver a high quality product at a value price. The product is already at a slim margin at regular price. I cannot compete with companies that leverage volume purchasing from China any other way. I can however pass on the cost savings of producing a group of orders for the same product at my small manufacturing facility at one time. After the group purchase is produced I cannot commit to a volume order price point for single item orders and still remain profitable.

I understand the notion that if the group has already purchased a notable quantity of the same item that the expectation would be that the price point for subsequent orders should remain the same. I certainly could do this if I had a warehouse full of inventory that was bought at a volume price point from China or if I made extra units on a large production run and carried the inventory. Due to cash flow and space I simply cannot afford to carry large inventories. All of our products are made to order or are produced in limited numbers on a very short demand forecast.

I hope that gives you some insight as to the environment my company competes in. Believe me I want to be the brand of choice for your forum members and am willing to do anything I can to earn the business.

Net discounted prices for orders being shipped to Canada will have to be calculated and the order entered manually. If you would like send me the Canadian ship to address via this forum’s message feature and I send you the net discounted prices at 5%, 10% and 15% off for that specific ship to location.

The only reason I'm asking the question is that I try to keep  these sorts of things prominently displayed by 'stickying' it.  However, I only do this for a limited amount of time, hence the question.
