I do like that one!  [thumbsup]

Do you have a big customer who'd buy a promotional item (like, i dunno, a bottle opener?) with their logo machined on it? Might be able to recoup your costs and build a relationship at least.

You have mine. ;D

And mine!

How about a Ti container to use as a baked bean cannon?

I think Ti plate might be difficult to roll into a cylinder.

That's not what Kev does, anyway. He makes chips. ;D

I could REALLY use some replacement chain guards for my S2R1000. The plastic ones don't hold up very well to my often misplaced heal...

Nada. I haven't had time to think about it.

Kind of par for the course these days. ;)

That usually means that you are busy with work, which is a good thing right?

Moto related?

Maybe...
pee-cup brackets
heel guards
axle plates
swing-arm end caps (for DSS)
coffin brake/clutch covers
some kind of tail-tidy/license plate bracket or frame

No idea if any of the above is actually practical, though  ;)

Hmmm...http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=75250.msg1382702#new   Except in titanium  ;D

I'm in for a pair to fit a 25mm axle aluminum swingarm (2003 M1000S).

Too busy at the moment and just got word one of my key guys has an offer elsewhere that I can't match. I have the advantage in this race though so it's not a done deal yet.

Those knuckle bottle openers are cool. I'm not sure if 3/8 is thick enough for those but it might be.

The axle plates are really cool as well. I remember cursing the steel ones on my m900 when they twisted up and gouged the swing arm. Anyone have a stock adjuster they could send me for prototyping purposes?

We may.  I'll check with B.

The "track" bike is on blocks, can't remember if the rear wheel is off or not.

How about a DMF logo thingy? Auctioned off to the highest bidder!

DMF logo'd Ti knuckle openers?

Ouch.  Hope this turns out OK.  I have a friend who teaches machine shop at our local community college.  He says the demand for his students is high and employers are lined up to hire them.  Looks like the manufacturing pendulum may be swinging back in the right direction.
