Due to the common complaint of having to look for your kickstands on the Victory Visions, here is an extension that will eliminate all that kickstand fumbling. Exclusively at www.noemtz.com thumb up

Metalguy,

Do you sell these? I like keeping the stock kickstand pad on while giving a little extra for your heal to find.

If you don't sell them, can you please provide additional information on how you made them to attached to the ball on the end?

metalguy
09-14-2010, 03:39 PM
Yes, I do make them, and have sold a few. They are held on the ball via set screw. I have made them out of aluminum, and steel (powdercoated), and with various ends on them.

Normally I'd read this thread and let it go but Noe has been a stand up guy here and to hawk another product that does a similar thing on the same thread is, in my opinion, a low life thing to do.

Just sayin' ...

So....you are "just sayin'" I am a lowlife because I have talent? I don't see any problem with finding my own solution to a common problem. BBob, get over yourself. As for "hawking", I only mentioned I made my own. When asked if I would sell one, I answered. Oh, and adding just sayin I guess makes calling someone a lowlife is ok?? As long as I know the rules...

Oh! almost forgot... just sayin!

BBob
09-14-2010, 11:39 PM
Read it again. I didn't call you a low life. I said it was a low life thing to do. Big difference.

Whatever ... just sayin'.

09-14-2010, 11:51 PM
Oh, I see. :rolleyes:So... In my opinion, only a trolling, no-life loser would post something as petty as your thread. Did I get that right? Not calling you names, or anything, "just sayin'". Get it now?:ltr: -----Metalguy

metalguy- i see where your comin from i do a lot of the same things myself because i take pride in making things on my own. and i save a few bucks!! but i would say that a "i made something like that myself" would have sufficed according to my judegement you had all the intention in the world of upstageing his product and, that is a little low

Now hold on there. This is all on me, the new guy. I just joined this board and don't know who has been here longer than who.

Two guys presented their solution to a problem. I liked the second solution better because it allows you to keep the stock pad on the kickstand. He was not trying to sell these, I asked him if he would. This is called Freedom of choice. It is called Capitalism. Those are two things that are the building blocks of our way of life and should not be restricted. Let the best product win.

We are all proud to ride these American bike. Better to be proud of the American way...

I never intended to start a pissing contest.

Lets relax all. Whats done is done. I don't believe he did it to be malicious.

How about getting back on subject of Noe's design.

BBob
09-15-2010, 09:53 AM
I like Noe's design so much I bought one. Still haven't mounted it yet but soon when I get the time and it's cooler out in the garage.

If someone has another product or design they would like to showcase they should start their own thread. That's all I was saying in my own callous way.

Feel free to buy what you want. We still live in America, or almost do. At one time, good ideas were wanted. I will keep them to myself from now on. Make your own. Sorry to have had an idea that predates the original poster. It has been on my bike since Nov. '08. Gawd, good thing I didn't post pics of my exhaust tips! I think I am done with this site. ------Metalguy

Hey Guys...It's all good.
I am not offended that he wants to push his product on my thread. If I would have done it, I would have typed a "sorry for the hijack thing" in the same response to the thread.
But what's done is done. Let's move on.

I will take this opportunity in this thread to say this since this is my thread...LOL

To all that design and make their own products...if you are able to mass produce it and are looking for a distributor.....give me a shout. I am always looking for new products to add to my line. Together we can both provide a good product to a current customer base that can benefit you, me and the customer.

But, please do what I do when I make a new product. I choose a few random people to give (free) the product to, have them try it out for a few months and give me a complete review on it. Good or bad...I want to know before I start selling it to the public.

I sent you a PM as a moderator explaining this but since you decide to post a butt hurt whiney response. Then this is my personal response to you.

The POINT is YOU hijacked someone else's thread to market your product. You get mad because it is pointed out to you. If you can't understand the disrespect in that. Then what does that say about you?

Thanks D!

This is a Victory Forum for all Victory enthusiasts like myself. At times, someone will do something wrong or say something that will offend someone else. None of us know all of the rules and etiquette to forum posting.

We need to all just take it as a learning experience and move on. I have been in the middle of some pretty nasty threads on many forums and the only thing that ever really came from it was a waste of time. In the end...we all ride the same brand and want to share ideas, stories and experiences with each other. No Harm..No Foulcheerscheerscheerscheerscheerscheerscheers

Well, this thread got me off my butt and out to the garage to drill out the rivets and install the NOEMTZ extension and it works great. I think I'll glue a piece of the rubber from the kickstand to the frame where kickstand hits. It's not a must but I think it will just feel better.

Good product! Very happy with it!

It says I made my own, and that I am proud of my accomplishments in custom fabrication. I know exactly what it says. I highjacked no thread. It it not about kickstand extention?? Maybe I read that wrong. Did I post in my original post that I have a design of my own to SELL? Well??? PLEASE show me. I was ASKED if I would, it is an entirely different thing than me "highjacking" a thread. You are the one who is butthurt, as you say. I have no idea why my character was attacked, only that it was, and is. Noe jumped on as well, saying I highjacked his thread. What a bunch of whiny people. -----Metalguy

I just read the PM's I got from folks here....NOW I see how things go. IF you contribute to the site monetarily, you may post about something you made. Make no mistake, I do NOT plan on manufacturing, and selling my kickstand extentions, I was just showing something I made. When I was asked if I could sell, I replied. Noe sent me this:

"Nice thread hijack.......LOL

Looks good.....be forewarned. Some people around here get their panties in a wad when members who own small businesses advertise anything for sale here and are not paying the site owner their cut.

They warned me that if I continued...they would ban me from the site. Just a heads up.

Good Luck to you and your sales
Noe"

It was never my intention to sell stuff. I am NOT a buisness, just a guy who makes things in his garage for his own bike, and for friends.

As for the mod, here is his PM:

"Metalguy,

On that subject of advertising your work. If you are not a site sponsor then you cannot advertise your goods for sale.

If there is a thread or post that is not someone else's advertisement and it is on subject of your product there is no problem of you mentioning it.


I think your product is pretty cool.

As I said, if a thread presents the subject and it is not an advertisement for someone else's product you can MENTION not advertise for sale etc. If a member asks about your product please conduct it in a PM.

Had the thread not been Noe's advertisement thread then your post would have been fine. "

I think I will leave this site, as posting something I made is considered hijacking, and I see that as thin-skinned, and idiotic. As far as giving the site some sort of kickback for making things myself, it is not going to happen. I ride motorcycles to enjoy them, not to make money. I am an avid rider, and fix problems myself when I can.

I have to agree with Metalguy. The subject is Kickstand extensions. It seems to me that anything having to do with Kickstand extensions would be expected. Now, had he gone off on a tangent and started talking about custom mirrors or helmet locks and drove the discussion off topic, it would have been a hijacking.

So is the moderator suggesting that we have multiple threads titled "Kickstand extensions", one for each design??? That makes no sense.

Even the guy that started the discussion is not twisted up over this. Why is everyone else. I have been to his site and seen his stuff and it is cool. I will likely be one of his customers. I just happen to like the other design better and I'm glad I saw them.

I invest my time on this board to get exposed to what others are doing and to get ideas, not to be a part of a direct marketing campaign from "Chosen" sellers.

BBob

Cosmetically the metal guy's idea's are good and a good basis for something that could be mass produced if the extension reaches out far enough to do some good.

I think I'll paint or have the NOEMTZ extension powder coated black this winter to match up with my kickstand.

Just for the record, had I thought my comments would lead to petty bickering I would have kept them to myself. Most forums basically work the same way and there is a certain decorum to be followed. As bikers we tend to self-police the motorcycle-specific forums.

No, you and metalguy are wrong. This was Noe's thread advertising his product. It was not a member asking about extensions. Therefore it was a hijack.

Metalguy could just have easily started a thread just showing what he made. If someone inquires about him selling them it would be done through PM's.

Then again Metalguy doesn't understand that a PM means PRIVATE message as he makes it public.

Metalguy you need a thicker skin.

Alright....now things are starting to piss me off.
I was trying to just chill out and let shit pass, but to hell with it.
You decided to publically post a private message on in open forum. So much for the private message staying between the two involved between the PM.

Metalguy....first of all the forum owners have every right to request that you pay for advertising on their site. It's the way it works in the real world. Wake up and smell the farts!

Since the MOD warned me on the ads (which I stopped by the way)....I took the liberty of giving you a heads up on what could possibly happen to you down the road. Seems like your the one with the thin skin....you are the one that got your panties all in a wad......geeze...get over it.

As for being a business....come on....when you posted....you were hoping for a hit.....and you gave them options to choose from based on your pics.....don't back peddle your way out ......that's Bullshit and you know it.

On the subject of the MOD....he is doing his JOB. He is the forum police on this site...if you don't like to be kept within his forum rules....start your own forum....good luck with that.

On the subject of hijacking.....had I asked for ideas on kickstand extensions in the original post......shit would be expected to pop up from various people on the things they have done or seen.

But that is not the case here. You pulled a stupid KANYE WEST stunt in stepping in to divert the attention of my product to yours. So yes....you deserve the bashing you are getting for pulling your stupid highjack bullshit. Did it hurt my feelings...NO....I was cool with it because you are fairly new here. You prolly just don't get it.
But when you start posting copy and pasted PM's here....then your dumb ass will never be trusted again with the members here.....so adios motherf*cker. Go cry someplace else.
