Hey guys here is our latest creation over at Precision Engineering.
Constructed from 6061 Billet Aluminum it will utilize all of the stock components but say good bye to the behemoth tail piece.

We should have these up on our website soon!
They will be offered in Uncoated machined aluminum and black anodized.

How about a bottom view?

Is the entire factory opening closed up?...Or is that area not profiled to the depression of the factory part?

Hard to tell in this pic...

Looks cool, otherwise! : )

$119.95

"quick-release so I can remove everything when I get to the track?"

3 Bolts and a couple of bullet connectors!

"Is the entire factory opening closed up?"

Yup, it's totally covered!

We have them available on the website. If your looking for black anodize it will be about 10 days before we get them back from the anodizer.

I'll try to get a few detailed pictures up tomorrow.

Andy I love it. Now send a Chinese supplier a mould so they can make it in cheap plastic. I know much work went into this, but the price is steep. I'd play 20 for a very low quality version.

to even suggesting a cheap china copy. I would gladly pay the 120 plus some to keep it here in the USA...where quality matters. You want cheap china parts go buy a bike from Walmart. Sorry if I offend anybody...wait, no I'm not.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Just kidding, or am I?

Anyway, for the sake of any unfortunate souls that may be your dependents, I sure hope your employer doesn't think that way.

Very nice piece and nice price Andy - Kudos.
I still prefer the one I made, but I couldn't sell any like it at your price and not lose money...

Hey, I mean no offense. I said it was a great looking piece. Just outta my price range. I'd prefer one of inferior quality if the cost could be less. $120 is a nice trackday. I'm no chrome fiend harley guy.
He should just show Buell and license it to them. This is what the original shoulda looked like. Maybe for 2010.

HOLY CRAP! Did I just read this?

Hey, I mean no offense.

Too late

If it cost too much for you then make it yourself and let us know when your willing to sell your hard work for $20.

it's the "send it overseas" attitude that has been, and continues to be f__king up our economy as we speak

we haven't had much in production in our shop in years....and the R&D that we do, the customers want dirt cheap, promising larger quantities that we never see

$120 is too much for someone who just bought a $10K+ bike?

Dude, you gotta pay to play. Nobody gets into sport biking because its cheap.
