Nope, just commercial@top-block.com
If the TB protection looked as nice, and followed the lines of the bike as nicely as they did for the '08-'09, I'd be all over them. They just don't look nearly as good on the '10+.
Got it. I gave it another shot. I included her name in the subject line this time. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the help ZG.

Good news. Tatiana did contact me with the message that I can order via PayPal. I have no idea why my other messages didn't get their attention. At the current exchange rate, it's looking close to $700. I am going to go for it.

Congrats Mark!
Make sure to post up some pics when you get them installed!
Did anybody try to set up a group purchase from Top Block? Cause I just emailed her and I speak and write french. Maybe we could negotiate something like the deal negotiated with MC Enterprises. Should we be able to save even 15%, that's $105. I will keep everyone informed cause I'd like to get some at a more reasonable price for my new 2012 to replace the GSG's I had on my 2008. Hate the fact that I would have to drill but Fred Harmon has a very good set of pictures with the how to do it so I guess I could do the same.
Would anyone be interrested in purchasing the top block sliders on a group purchase if they are willing to go ahead with a group reduced price?
* What is missing in this thread are some good pictures of the Top Block installed on a 2010+.
* It was mentioned that the design is different from the 2008/9 and "not as nice". How are they different?
* Someone else mentioned there were installation instructions somewhere out there. Where? I just don't understand how these can be mounted without drilling holes in the fairing....
---- EDIT---
OOps, I answered some of my own questions from that OTHER forum search results:

Yep, the 2010+ version of the Top Block is much less attractive than the older model. Yep, requires drilling. They are really not making this an easy decision (not as attractive, way expensive, no USA dealer, extra fees and risk, drilling fairing)
Thanks for the link. Now I am wondering what the cost is if I buy them in France.
I would think the cost would be the same, just no shipping cost...

So I sent my PayPal payment on March 23rd. I didn't hear a word from Top Block after that. I was starting to get a bit worried until the package arrived yesterday. Wow! that was really fast!! Eleven days including 2 weekends. I have done my fair share of international shipping and this is about the fastest I have seen.
On to the installation this weekend.

Comtemplating turning the silver top plate into black
I think in another thread someone was saying it might be possible to reverse the two sides, so you are turning them upside down with the black rubber facing up. Does it look like that is a possibility?
