This thread is great. A+. Would read again.
diesel450 said:I think we all dream that these things are way overpriced and we should be able to get a decent set for $100. I think Makr is right, this shit costs money because there are so many parts. Its cheap for guys like Kodiak and Makr etc. who have the know how and access to the machinery to make if for themselves Thats why we build our own blast cabinets and electrolosys set ups. I would still rather spend a couple hundred bucks for custom sets from this group than a couple hundred to four hundred elsewhere. Intellectual property? are you fucking kidding me?!
I'm in for a couple sets depending on what they fit.
My daily ride is a CL450, I have a couple projects I could buy them for as well.
What about if we each took what ever plans we (you all, I just stumbled on this) came up with and went to our local machinest individually? Takes the pressure off of a few guys to do it all. I know a guy, who doesn't necessarily owe me a favor, but who might do me one that I could go to with plans and say, "hey can you make me a few sets of these? what would it cost?" and I would probably get a pretty good deal. I bet most of us do. Or provide this as an option and the nice guys here who are willing to make some sets on the cheap can help the guys who don't "know a guy"
Just thoughts.

I'm sure he's a great guy, giving his time freely and helping little old ladies across the street (before stealing purses for meth money) but do we need crap like that on the boards here. If you want to be like that, find somewhere more appropriate. I will cheerfully throw out the occasional F-bomb but there's a difference between swearing like an ass and actively likening one's self to feces. He's a peach and I notice that we're no worse off for his absence.
I'm glad he's helping you with your bike, sounds like you may need the assistance. :
