No, they were more an afterthought of building the race rails. Figured someone might want some protection but couldn't afford a full race rail setup.

Not enough to keep the rent paid in the shop I was in. Trying to find a smaller space with less overhead. And avoid doing work on 40yr old bikes that people want restored but don't want to pay for.
Moving more towards the powder coating side of things and doing 1 or 2 builds at a time.

I'd like to do the same thing...and find a good woman that wants the same! It's hard to find a woman that wants to live in a shop full time in the downtown and welds, no?

dash I tried that already. when I first got the bike she it 4 times and dropped it twice. I told her I would get her one to learn on the right way but she refused.
