Items to be reproduced in Carbon Fibre

OK, here are the initial items. The poll is multi choice so please feel free to vote for what ever you like, and in 2 weeks I'll see which direction it's taken.

Please remember that this is purely to record interest. If there is enough interest in certain items (I'm thinking 5-6 people) then I will get accurate quotes back (once I have managed to source original parts to send to my supplier!!)

Nothing's legally binding so vote away!

I am now also taking orders for Hand Guards - £99 and Cylinder Head Guards with a Kevlar inner skin (try finding those anywhere else!) - £89.50

Post up or PM me to get on the list for those items.

Can we get a shipping estimate for the cylinder head guards, to the United States - How about some pictures once produced? Thanks.

Approx shipping is $23. Fully insured and with delivery confirmation with in an aimed 4 days. That's the first quote I have so I will look around to see if I could get it cheaper for you.

Pics will for the Head Guards and Hand Guards will be available very soon, others just as soon as they have been prototyped

How does that sound? Not pretending to be an expert on international shipping (yet!)

I have no idea what to expect shipping expenses to be. But with what you provided, it sounds like the total for product and shipping would be around $185 USD (cylinder guards).

Interested in seeing what the head covers look like as well, could be very, very interested.
Thanks,

Hi all

Apologies for not following this up as quickly as I'd have liked, I screwed my back a few weeks ago and have been out of action.

I'll hopefully have the pictures of the headguards/hand guards from my supplier soon and I'll be able to show you the quality

Hi all, I'm new here, but I'm also heading to AK in a couple months so protection is on my mind, too. How about fork covers? Are those already in existence?

Hi all

I have a PDF price list (inc pics) of my whole catalogue of parts - currently 1200+. I've been concentrating on larger markets, because I need to get the ball rolling so I can afford to invest in more niche markets like the Rockster. Because of the type of bike the Rockster is I'm really keen to get it clad in my Carbon but the other bikes will have to pay up first!

Sorry, meant to say that if you would like a catalogue (if like me you have more than 1 bike) then drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll get it over to you.

All I can say on the timescale front is that it will be as soon as I can do it. I'm into everything bike so I assure you I want to do everything yesterday
