I came across an awesome deal on the Phantom suit!
http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/ you will NOT find the information there but that is who I am dealing with. I am awaiting the prices and selction from the dealer. As of now the price will be $325 and add $13 or so for shipping. This is an awesome deal and I just bought a hi-viz suit from them.
So what's the catch Jon? Well I'm not connected to them for starters. Second, the price will only apply to their current inventory (some hi-viz, some pewter). I will post the final details when I hear back from their representitive. I know this sounds too good to be true......and I was going ask them why so cheap but I figured I'd keep my mouth shut until you guys have bought a suit. I think the simply way will be to use paypal. Stay tuned!
This will be first come first serve.......as there are only a few suits available.
UPDATE 9/17, I am still waiting to hear back from the rep. I will call him again tomorrow.
9/18, called and left a message. I don't know maybe they are busy. Hopefully he calls back soon. I will be pissed if we are wasting each others time, but I did get the impression he was very serious.
If they have a size L, hi-vis, I'll call dibs on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Been thinking about getting one anyway, and at this price I will just have to go ahead and do it.
Thanks!
PS. I know they're men's sizes, that's what I want.
In for Large hi vis.
*Edited after trying on one*
I am probably in for a Large Hi Vis.
put me down for the MO140P pewter/black in XL (or MO140Z neon yellow/black, whatever is available)
I'll try and get my roommate to get one too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That is a great buy, and oh yeah Bailey, who is the professional model in the Hi-Viz suit............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/goofy.gif)
I'm in for pewter xl (6'4" 245 lbs?) or do I need bigger 2x waist 42?
see it here:

Hi Jon28
Thanks for organizing this GB. I am in for a Large Pewter. Looking forward to details when they become available..
I would love to be contacted too please. I'll most likely take a Large Pewter suit. Thanks for doing this. - MotoMax
Anyone considering one of these suits........I like mine better everytime I wear it............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fing02.gif)
$325? Is this for real?
If so...I'm SO in. for an XL or 2XL, pewter preferred, but would consider a hi viz at that price. I need to do more research on sizing.
Do I get lynched if I ask if this is available in a Medium?
I'd go for XL, prefer Hi-Viz but would take pewter. Been looking at these and winter is coming one of these days (Literally one day, I live in SC where we have 320 days of summer, 20 days of spring, 24 days of fall and 1 day of winter)!
Add me to the list of interested.
I'm not old enough to consider wearing something like this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I think that was a drunk County worker that had wondered away from a work detail, he kept approaching Honley saying " you sure are purdy" and things like " you don't have to ride on that gravel, I'll give you a ride home" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Large Hi-Viz for me...
What type of armor/protection do there have in knees, elbow, and back?

HONLEY !!!!!......call me...you've been talking to Bailey. There's no way he could have heard that with me whispering it in your ear............Bailey was just a one night stand...didn't mean a thing................ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/goofy.gif) ..........I must be getting radiation poisoning from my Hi-Viz suit......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I have to check on the sizings, but I would like to get in on this. I have a friend also interested. He'll probably post up soon.
Hi-Viz or Pewter.... I'm not picky.

Russ
go ahead and put us down for 2 (will ship together)
gotta verify his size (he's 6'4" 260lbs, 40" waste)
Edit:
Probably 3x on the 2nd one (Pewter would be first choice)
Is this dead? Crappy weather fast approaching in my neck of the woods. Don't think my 10 year old JR gear is going to make it another winter.
Bueller?
Ditto UFO...
Is this really going to happen?

that's what I'm wondering....
I'm ready to buy 2
both grey
one XL one 4X
Shipped to
Bremerton, Wa
98311
Count me in for a Large in Yellow or Pewter
Sounds like a great deal if they have any sizes left "in stock".
There are 2 locations for MaxBMW one in Troy, NY and one near me in Hampton, NH. Wonder if I can pick it up in-person and save my cheap ass $13 shipping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fing02.gif)
I'm out. I just ordered a pewter thought a dealership that is offering up Olympia gear over on ST.N. I'm honestly not convinced that a dealer can actually make any money selling them at $325 like the original post here says.
http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index....ic,15453.0.html Okay here is the update. Sorry I have a life and was out of town for a couple of days. I never heard back from Scott in the parts department who was supposed to call me back ref this deal. I left him three messages and three emails nothing. This is NOT too good to be true. Ask Motomax, he just sent me a PM and he contacted them directly and they sold him one for $325.
Just contact MaxBmw and ask them to sell you a phantom suit for $325. And for those who think I have nothing better to do and this is a false deal you can click here and see their auction I won a best offer for $300 ebay link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...652223&rd=1Also I would jump on the $325 price. If it doesn't fit I am certain Olympia will exchange it provided you leave the tags. My XL fits me perfect. I'm 6ft and 250. I couldn't be happier. Good luck and sorry for any confusion but they let me down.
MotoMaxBMW in NY's number is 518-279-3040, the guy I was speaking to was Scott @ ext. 207. Motomax can you remember who u spoke with?
I ordered my phantom suit from them last week and I got it today!!!! What a purchase!! They honored the $325.00 deal too. Call the NY store direct and ask for apparel. . . they will hook you up. Good luck!! - MotoMax

All the above is true. Jon28 has been on target the entire time. . . I think the BMW dealership is a little lazy but I called and mentioned the group buy and they sent me one for $325.00 + the $13.00 shipping. The suit is friggin AWESOME!! I love it already!! Good luck everyone!!
. . . . . . Jon28. Thanks for the original posting. You are the man. - MotoMax
This is a super deal folks...Jon will be thanked by anyone that purchases one at this price, because the suit works great out on the road. A great piece of gear...................... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fing02.gif)
questions on sizing
since the olympia website only has sizing for pants and jackets
what about the one piece suits?
I'm 5'10"
225lbs
36" waste
32" inseam
48-50" chest
18" neck
35" arms
do I need an XL?
my roommate wants one too
he's 6'4"
260lbs
40" waste
36" inseam
50" chest
17" neck
37" arms
he's thinking XXX or XXXX
what do you guys think?
5'7" 165lbs 46" chest 31" waist 30" inseam.......I had to get a large (mostly that chest/ shoulder/ upper arm thingie). It's a little long but it all worked out OK. CE pad locations are adjustable. The medium was the right length and fit well everywhere except the upper body. Most everyone would probably be better served moving up at least one size from normal(IMO). Also I used mine back in the 100+ weather and a little looseness lets the venting work well............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fing02.gif)
Krautburner, it's hard to say but my guess-t-ments are XXL for roomie and L for you. FWIW: I'm a 46-48 chest maybe 50 at best. 6ft 240. The XL works great for me.....a little tight in the groin area...lol. but it's one heckava suit more so for the cheap$$$$$$$. I'm so glad I finally lucked out and got one of these puppies.
