I stopped at the machine shop today hoping to pick up the clutch spring retainers. Was told wont be ready until Wednesday. Asked for additional quanity to meet increasing number of requests. Told he would increase the number to 15 retainers. If you are in a hurry for yours I will be glad to send out next day delivery for the extra cost increase. Very sorry for the delays. Dont know any way to improve on this.

Yea. Nothing worse than paying for something, expecting prompt delivery, and then wait, wait, wait. We have all experienced this at one time or another. I just dont want to be one of them. That is why I am trying to keep you all updated. Thanks for everyones' patience. rick	Rick52 OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 715 Thank you received: 232

I stopped at the machine shop today and no retainers yet. This is the second missed delivery date. It was emphasized that they would be ready on Friday. Sooo, I asked to bump up the order to 20 total. Arent you glad you havent pre-paid? LOL I know it will get done. I represent a respectable amount of Industrial business. Please be patient. If you should decide to cancel I will understand.

Rick, I would be more than willing to by a second one of these from you & your machinist in a steel version... have we already posed this question to him ? or is he not interested ? or is the cost simply astronomical ?? Tony	ynot1115 OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 636 Thank you received: 40

Rick, Put me down for a steel one. Do you have the bolts sizes, Or, do by chance have a source for the grade-8 bolts? I don't have a local source for them. Offering the bolts as an option would be great benefit. -and, thanks for doing this for the Vmax community! Rusty Morgan	TnVmax OFFLINE Senior Max Posts: 292 Thank you received: 109

Rusty...you can just order them from your dealer, they are $4.50 from Yamaha. The old (original stock) bolts have been superseded by the grade 8 bolts.
