So this is the finished product on my first custom machining for my bike. Kind of trivial but I wanted to start small. I'm happy with the machining but the anadizing didn't quite turn out the way I hoped. I wanted semi gloss but it looks flat, but all in all I'm pretty happy. I'll post a picture

I think they look great as they are. Excellent job. If you are that unhappy with them toss them my way? ; )

Thanks, I might try to re finish them to get them a little more glossy

Why go through all that trouble... Coating on top of coating... Or sanding off coatings... Betting to donate them to a 'kinder' person... Like me! ; )

Either way they look good. If cost is low enough some here would prob buy them even unfinished.

I would have to make like 20 pairs at a time just to keep it under 100$ a pair. I know that's still pretty steep. I wasn't trying to advertise I just wanted some opinions. If anyone has any other suggestions for custom stuff ( on the smaller size) let me know. I want to try something alittle more substantial.

I could customize anything u wanted on top as long as the cap it self is the same dimensions
