Nothing if you drive like grandma... but if you like to go around corner and want better traction and want to be able to go a little faster without feeling like your gunna loose it.... this is what you want.

Well, I had them re-work the quote. But before they will give me a final price on material I need to pay for three to be cut so they can make sure they can reproduce the part consistently. They want me present when they cut... I'll post an up-date as soon as I can.
Thanks again.

We don't do our own powder coating but American Powder Coating is just 20 minutes south of us. We use them exclusively. They can do hundreds of different colrs. Let me get the production of the bars worked out first.
Thanks.

That's an Ion. They have a sound deadening material there and it's sort of wrinkled.

Chill, they're filling backorders for their header/downpipe GB. Obviously you didn't bother to CALL them since Beth picks up every time that I have.

My apologies. I have been working in the shop training a new employee as well as either packing and shipping or assisting with every header/DP order. We have been trying to get caught up on production and move forward with the R&D and custom projects. Heck, i even have my 13 year old son coming in this week polishing parts, cleaning/organizing and helping with shipping. Got to love that chile labor.

I am also behind on email and PM's, as usual, but doing my best to catch-up. We haven't had many orders for thestrut bar. I think because many members were waiting to see a finished part. It's kind of a "catch 22". if we are not able to move forward with the machined aluminum, we will fill orders with the hand built steel.

Thanks for being so patient. We are getting there.

Was wondering how the R&D was going on the aluminum bar. I placed an order and would prefer this bar over the competitors bar whether it is steel or aluminum.

We did not have enough interest to allow us to have them made in billet aluminum. We can make themhere in steel. We will plan to build a few next week.

Thanks again everyone.
