In post #30 I said I wanted some. I still do.

im down for a set

 

[MaxPete]

Hey Guys! I'm debating doing a serious production run of parts identical to my original run and wanted to get some feedback first.

To the guys that got one of the originals:

1. How are they holding up?
2. Any suggested changes?
3. Would you buy again if you were in the market or have you found something cheaper/better out there?

I'm looking at a run of about 200 sets to make it worth my time and to payback the tooling investment.

@MrBultaco @MaxPete @Norton7d @willis

Howdy!

I haven't actually used them yet (work...dammit) but they sure look nice!

I hadn't seen this thread before, wow those look terrific.

 

[jetmechmarty]

I’ll be in for three sets based on the feedback.

 

[MrBultaco]

I have them on my avatar bike...been installed for years. Work great and look the best. I don't have another bike....yet, but would buy another set for sure.

 

[bosshasr]

Appreciate all the feedback!

If there are no requested changes, I will move forward with them as they are. My hope is to have something to show around the end of the year or early next so stay tuned.

I'm still tuned in. I have a need. I hope you're still up for doing this.

Hope the project is going well I could definitely use a set. Both of mine are missing

 

[TooningFork]

These look great, would love a set!

 

[toofaan]

If this is still a thing I would love a set too.

Edit: Sorry, just realized I had already posted a year ago.

So it took a bit more time than originally estimated but I got the parts back from the anodizer today and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

The main body of the latch is a single piece of aluminum so there is no chance of these falling apart. If anyone is still interested, I'll have 9 sets (2 latch assemblies/set) available. I have to go out of town for work for the rest of the week but when I get back I'll start packaging up sets and figuring out what shipping's costs will be.

Hi Steve, I know it’s been quite some time since this post but if you have a set of these would you post to Australia? Cheers Brent

Last posting from this member (@bosshasr) was 2-1/2 years ago. If he does turn up, I would be surprised if there weren't quite a few peeps that would like to have sets of these, me included.

 

[bosshasr]

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of response. Life got busy and I never did do that production run I had planned on but am still hoping to get this done this fall. I truly appreciate your interest in this and don't like to disappoint.

@Never Too Old I would certainly send some to Australia packaged as cost effectively as I could.

 

[willis]

I'd be in for another set if you do another run. Very pleased with my other set I got from you.

Yes they look good let’s know if it happens!
