orders looking good so far. Would like a few more. Will submit the final order this Wednesday. I doubt there will be another order submitted unless I get 10 people to commit. If your on the fence, you wont be disappointed. They are really nice. Just an Fyi. |

Gobadgers, Great looking S1. What kind of mirrors are those? Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread. |

Brentx1, Thank you. The mirrors are Aprilia Tuono Mirrors. You can get them at a number of places including Americansportbike or Moto-science. |

Jeff, Im in for one more, Ill paypal tonight. THANK YOU for running this to ground, with the other parts I am working on I simply did not have enough time to work this one as well but its another sorely needed part that no one was going to make. glad I could help by sending you my brace. Ill be honest, I was a little leery about taking this part off and sending it to you, but my trust paid off and you proved to be a good dude! thanks for taking some of my design requests into account, I think this piece turned out to be outstanding! well done and KUDOS for resurrecting a lost part. May the "Buell Gods" forever smile on you! |

Thanks Dave. No problem at all. Iam sure we can do some more fun things down the road as well. I will be touching base with my machinist later this afternoon. Will be giving him the totals etc. I will post when he will start the run. There is still time to get your order in if you have not done so. I repeat...after this run there will not be another one unless I can get 10 or more to commit and pay. Fyi. |

For those of you that were asking about a drive support arm, see this thread http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/727769.html?1387409410 (custom swingarm brace pulley guard) I was working on this for quite some time and finally dusted off the plan to get it made. its finished... |

Update: Waiting for money to clear into my bank account. did not want to paypal to the machinist due to the amount and great deal he is already making them for. Didnt want paypal to take any of his money. When money clears I will hand him cash. He received the metal today to make the braces. Iam sure he will be working on them next week. I have everything else ready to package up and ship when done. Will keep everyone in the loop as to timing. |

Just talked to my machinist and the braces are done. He just needs to polish the ones that want them that way. Should be able to get them shipped to everyone right after Christmas. Awesome. |

Hi Jeff Not sure if I mentioned it when I sent the payment, but I would want my brace polished as per the original sample picture posted. Thanks for handling this and Merry Christmas Jeff |

No problem Jeff. Unless specified Iam making them polished. I believe only two people wanted them unpolished. Merry Christmas to you as well. |

If it is not too late, please make mine unpolished. I must have missed that as an option. Thnx. Roderick |

What a nice Christmas present this will be! Thanks to you and Jolly for doing this. I don't think there was any confusion, but just in case - both of mine are polished. Merry Christmas! |

Your all set Roderick. Beulljunkie yes yours will be polished. That is the best looking way anyway. Machinist was paid today. He will have them done right after Christmas. Iam getting the last bit of hardward in a bit today and then will ship when done. Couple more pics to wet the appetite. Merry Christmas

a few details...the hardware is stainless. Has stainless nylon locknuts. I did not get washers to try and keep the cost down. Don't need them really. also the front brackets are bare metal. If you want to spray paint or coat in some way then go for it. Again just trying to keep cost down. Everything turned out great. |
