91,
Do you have a design then ask here if someone will make it for you?

91,
OK suggest you PM "thatkid" or "ModKing" and chat to them about what you want made. If you have sketches with dimensions then you could ask CAD600 to put them into Autocad or Solidwerx for you so you can have them made local to you.
That is about all I can suggest.

JRK,
now you tell me.
I designed a set that are infinitely adjustable which I passed to TK to give his new shop an exercise. Unfortunately his lathe died and with his permission (i gave him exclusive right to the design if he did the work for us all ) to place the design with another workshop.

They are delivering the first prototype to me month end for a months trial of abuse, then I will release the info that they are available from my source and the costings

Understand this that you buy from the source NOT me and that I have NO say or cut in the price asked,

I designed this for the community of bikers that I belong too just for the pleasure of scratching my head and getting a problem solved better than the what the market place delivers now.

Since i have access to 2 cnc lathes and a cnc mill and everything that goes with them, not to mention being on the other side of the planet.

Sh0rty,
I think that is quite possible, I think that the shop in the States would not object if we did this Franchise style that you sell in Oz & New Zealand,Pacific Rim , He in the States, Canada,Central & Southern America & the Caribean and say one shop for Europe.

I know the biggest waste of time out of the shop is posting and sorting customs forms. This way the embuggerance is kept down.

I will discuss this with them & get back to you on it as I said this is not really my concern any more.

Thanks yam.
I would not be selling them but more of the ease of making them myself compared to dollar exchange and shipping.
If i did make them and there were a few people here from OZ liking them i could make a few extra if permitted.
You know what they say the first always takes the longest and after that is just a matter of a push of a button.
My bike is a long way off yet.
