I was concerned about fit, but for the price, it will be an easy resell if it won't fit.

I ordered 2. Even if they are complete crap, I could probably resell them on craigslist for at least $50

There's probably fine print about misadvertised prices (Sears just had ipad 2's for $70 which they refunded to everyone). I got the red track leather for kicks as a fashion jacket since it doesn't look like it has armor. With my BanditBucks, it was only $24 with shipping. :thumbup:

Says CE armor in shoulders and elbows, with a back pad. I thought it didn't at first as well.

I saw it say that for the 80's jacket (wanted the white one, but not available), but didn't see it for the track leather. Did I miss it somewhere?

I thought the same thing, but did a search on the jacket... Supposedly it does have armor...

I'm just waiting for an e-mail from BikeBandit saying that they're refunding me my money due to a mis-print... It's worth a try!

I thought I read it on Bikebandit, but obviously it doesn't say that. I looked on Amazon and Motorcycle-superstore and they both say it has armor, so I must have seen it on one of those. I guess we will find out? Lol

i think the cart was crashing cause I had a black one in my cart and there weren't any left. snagged a blue one tho, and ordered my brake pads at the same time. here's hoping they don't cancel...

that's what I'm trying to do right now.

the only reason i added the brakes was because the shipping was the same either way...there's no way in hell I'm paying $33/set plus $40 shipping for 2 sets of pads when I can get them cheaper here.

i'm playing dumb with the livechat operator, wondering why the jacket was cancelled LOL

here's the explanation I was given:

This jacket used to be listed on the bike bandit site. They discontinued this a while back. What happen was the old part number was recycled & now being used for an alternate item. when we uploaded the new item with this part our system recognized it and uploaded the old listing.

oh well, worth a shot

yea, but it says you get the item or money back, and they are doing the money back thing. it would have been different if they'd actually shipped the hat or whatever it was in lieu of the jacket, then they would have been in for a shitstorm of complaints.

it honestly could have been a closeout on a skid of stuff they found in the back of the warehouse that they'd already written off, but yea, it was bound to get canceled. the livechat operator didn't give me any grief canceling the rest of the order so no harm done. I just wish that someone would price match the $50 front BT-016 from Rocky Mountain ATV so I could get front and rear from the same place cause RM-ATV doesn't carry the rear in the 150/60-17. Every site I've tried says they are violating MSRP agreements, so nobody will pm it. :(

spoke to one of the guys on their webchat thing and he was a pretty big dick about it... i might have been one of the earlier people to talk to them after they cancelled all the orders as they didn't want to really do all that much. heard kevin bitched them out and they told him they would credit his account with like 60 bandit bucks which pissed me off even more but just now they sent me an email saying they would credit my account the cost of the jackets with bandit bucks... looks like daddy's getting a free valve cover gasket :D

i still would have preferred two leather jackets for $50 though.

p.s. their bandit buck thing says it takes between 1-2 days for new banditbucks to show up... we'll see

i would like to know who develops their point of sale software... i've only built 3 POS systems before but all 3 had stringent requirements on prevention of this type of thing... if an updated price that was received from the imported data was larger than a certain percentage, update of that item was either held back and a notification sent, or in the simpler pieces, presented to the person handling the manual data import process. i'm actually extremely surprised something like this happened

I got the email about the bucks, and a cancellation notice for only one of my orders, which was for two jackets. The total was 58 something, but the email says they will credit me 26.96. I ended up ordering 3, so I'm wondering if I'll get the bucks for everything, and the refund. As long as I get my money back I'm not too worried about the banditbucks, but if everybody else gets the full amount, I may call them. I am still curious as to why I only received a cancellation email for one order though.

That is just a pre-charge. Once they ship they will charge you the actual amount. They did the same to me, but the final charge was the correct amount for my order.

Most website have a disclaimer saying they aren't liable for price mistakes and don't have to honor them. Come on guys, new to the internet?

Also, they got hammered by slickdeals, a site with almost a million registered users. Ninjette is just a drop in the bucket of people who placed the same order you did.

dude, it was a pricing mistake, should be happy they are giving you anything at all. Think about it, you're getting a free $25 from them that you got by being in the right place at the right time. I didn't expect anything out of this when they cancelled other than my money back. be thankful they didn't keep your money and offer you a credit like some places would.

new clutch lever, throttle tube, and a second bar-end mirror for the fzr! only had to pay an extra 4$ to cover the rest of shipping :D

personally i think they handled their screw-up pretty well. i'll be doing more shopping at bike bandit now because of it
