Mark,
As a matter of fact there is TK has a serios problem with his lathe and being a Gent that he is allowed me to take the project elsewhere to get the system trialled (this design is mine and I did build one way bback in the early '80s on a much lighter bike.)

The prototype should be with me month end -2nd week of June I want to check this out so it can stand being "wheelied" with out problem. Then I will tell the machinist to make so many pairs. (18 pairs so far on this and another list )


Pricing has not beeen done YET so be patient and we will let you know A} it will work with a heavy bike (FZR) b} pricing and any thing you need to send us apart from money LoL

as I said above Nate is able to handle this as his lathe is not working for the time being I am co-ordinating (as is my design originally )

The guy who is doing the prototype will be making the first production run, the pricing is down to him not me i have no investment in this except my design time of which on this occassion is freely given.

And we all appreciate it George! (no one but my late Mother ever DARED to call me Georgey !) I love people who give to the community. When I was doing research for my FZR I had a lot of questions, a lot of them had to do with weights of things and especially with dimensions of swingarms etc. So I made particular effort to get the information out there, because it really is damn hard to find sometimes.

I for one appreciate your efforts a lot of stuff is in the Manual but when it ain't there it is a devil to find which is why this site with people like yourself make a difference.
