Order for 3D printing has gone in.
Order for DC-DC converters has been placed.
Order for charging pads is waiting for confirmation.
Order for other items can be placed closer to arrival time.

Website has been registered and hosting has been purchased - RIVIPARTS.com. I have to build out the cart end of it, etc. As you might have guessed, I've done this before. I used to own/run F800Riders.org, F800Depot.com, and ADVDepot.com. I've sold all of those and I'm currently only the importer and distributor for Grip Puppy in the US. So I'm just basically piggy backing off of the LLC and infrastructure for that.

As a reminder, you'll be able to place an order on there when the kits become available, tentatively very late July / early August. They will be limited to 1 per person / per household. There will only be 50 of them in this first batch. You will however be able to purchase a sunglass holder and/or a phone ball mount thingie if you want. I've ordered some of those too because people asked.

Depending on how well this goes, I may look toward doing more batches. I really, really want to get these into the hands of people and get some honest feedback and real-world testing before considering or committing to do so.

This is awesome! I’ll be ordering one when available.

Maybe you could come up with a console organizer next? I had a very cheap/simple/effective one for my Tacoma that I’d love to have for my R1T. I’m sure I’m not alone in finding the deep black hole that is our center console in need of some compartments…

Wireless pad order is in. Everything might be here toward the end of the month.

On it. Along with a phone mount for the left side of the steering wheel near the vent.

Wireless charging pads have arrived.
DC-DC converters have arrived.
3D printed parts are set to arrive Saturday.
Everything else is available on short call.

Assuming that all looks well with the 3D printed parts, I think I may open up ordering early next week.

Would you be able to post a video of the install so that we could understand what we're getting into prior to ordering?

Totes McGoats. You'll need to know exactly what is included, how to assemble it (optionally, if you don't have me do it), and how to install it.

The first bit is easy as I can get the bits and assemble them with commentary. The second is more simple as it's unclipping the old pad, taking four screws out and dropping in the replacement, but is a bit more problematic to produce as my R1T is in service right now.

I will be in Pittsburgh for an extended weekend starting the 29th. If you need a stand in, let me know.

My offer still stands today if you want. I am going out to Mid-Ohio Vintage days tomorrow, but I could drop by today if you like. PM me.

Dude you gotta post pics. That's a sick combo.
‘Thanks! One pic at car wash. Another with my 17 year old stuck in the gear tunnel. ?
