Hey Guys! Unfortunately i have some crappy news We did not get as many pre-orders as I had hoped, which means the production costs for such a small number of units is crazy expensive (way more then i am selling them for currently). This means I am going to have to assemble each unit by hand, which sucks for me but is actually good news for you because I can personally guarantee the quality of every single unit that I ship. Components are starting to arrive next month, once things start trickling in i will post up photos of the build process and let you guys know when the first units are shipping. Still looking good for our June 1st shipping date at this time! (could even be a week early the way things are looking right now, but no promises) ANYONE WHO ALREADY PLACED A PRE-ORDER: You are already locked in at the price you paid! (Any future orders will be at the new price point though.) Pre-orders are still shipping in the order which they were received. PRICING UPDATE: Pre-orders will end this Friday at the current price of $120. Starting Saturday 4/23/16 new price of $160 for the Brakers Light kit goes into effect. LIMITED UNITS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE: As of right now only a limited number units are being produced. If you were on the fence about getting a set, order now because there is a good chance you may not get one. If interest picks up then I can look into doing another batch of 100+ but its likely going to have to be a group buy type scenario so I know the orders will be fulfilled. The components I am using are automotive grade and extremely expensive in small (and even large) quantities. I refuse to use cheap inferior Chinese (no offense) parts which can result in questionable reliability, just to bring the cost down a little bit. My Electrical Engineer has designed lighting systems currently used in high end exotic cars (McLaren, etc) so that is the type of quality I expect for my products. Questions or Concerns I am available pretty much 24/7, give me a call or an email I'm always happy to talk about anything Ducati! [email protected] +1 (857) 244-0565
Thanks @Pavey Already got integrated LED Stop/Indicator tail lights and also some small 5 pence size LED buttons fitted in the ducts. Like the look of the kit though so may be tempted to replace the button types with these a little further down the line. Thanks for the heads up and suggestion though!
Components are starting to land, waiting on PCB's and cases then assembly and shipping begins! Still on track for June 1st shipping target, could be sooner if i can keep the pace up
A couple more teaser photo's, once i get the production PCB's in assembly can start, but here's a teaser pic with a green beta testing PCB installed.
Just got a pic of the PCBs from my supplier before they shipped them out, should hopefully have in the next week so i can start assembly!
Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been a human soldering machine for the past few days since the PCBs arrived. The last thing I am waiting on are the wire harnesses and I should have tracking for them today or tomorrow and know when they will arrive. I am doing my absolute best to get all the pre-orders fully assembled, tested, and ready to ship by the June 1st deadline but I may not get all of them done in time. Shipping will be first come first server in the order which purchases were made to keep things fair. As soon as the wire harnesses arrive I will be able to start shipping orders as soon as they are finished (which I am hoping will be less than a week). If you are dying and need to know where you are in line just get in touch with me and I'll let you know. I am a one man show, and currently having to solder these myself until the pre-assembled boards get here as I did not want to risk missing the June 1st deadline and my supplier could not guarantee the lead time on components. So I apologize for the lead time, but it was either this or wait for an unknown amount of time and definitely miss the June 1st deadline. Just to give you an idea of how many parts i have to solder, and how small they are, photo attached (each of those white LEDs has 6 pins each to solder) More updates and pics to come!
I'm dead excited for this Brian, like a kid in a sweet shop. I hope after all the effort you have put it in you make some money out of it, and can treat yourself to a nice holiday :thumbsup:
Just dropped yours in the post, should be there in a week or so. Updating my order system now so keep an eye out for tracking number.
There were a few others, and a few people in various parts of EU but most of my orders are coming from USA.
I'll be pimping mine around London as soon as it appears and i fit it, we can then talk about commission on any future orders* *only kidding, just a birthday card will do. :thumbsup:
