Hi all, just a heads up really. If any of you out there like customizing your rides to make them more user friendly but hate the retail pain of buying gear from the shops, I have found a very awesome method of getting excellent, cheap custom stuff.
This includes gear like brackets, saddlebag mounts, altering different model brackets and gear to fit your bikes, Highway pegs........ if you can think it, it can be made.
I simply approached a local engineering shop, just so happened there was a biker guy there who used to build choppers back in the day. He has done heaps of stuff for me for cash work. He has made and debaffled numerous exhaust pipes, made baffles, handlebars, grab bar things, brackets, highway pegs etc......
Current project is turning my stock speed triple cans into aftermarket mean ones..... already seen the pipes nearly done, they look awesome, and I know they will sound tremendous, oh and loud lol.
So, if you need work done, contact your local metal work shop, look for a tallented grubby dude, and ask him if he does custom cash work on bikes. If not, There is a guy in Warkworth who I will happily refer you to if you pm me. He has saved me thousands, and the work is first class, and to be frank, very cost affective. He always charges me too little. S I try to give him extra.
:yes: :gob:
