Your stuff is top notch, wouldn't want to go as fast as they do without some of your stuff.

Re: Getting "RICH" making stuff for MB's

Hi,Jim.Your absolutely right.That's why I told someone here you can't make these thing's for fish heads and rice.The cost of every thing in the States is so much higher than China it's impossible to compete!Cost Wise!
On the flip side though,China can't compete with our quality and inventiveness.
I have a small 2 car garage shop where I build my bikes and proto-types. Very Very low overhead and a small machine shop down the road that doe's my stuff as "filler"work.
Believe me I know I'm not going to get rich from this chain tensioner I'm offering through Justin,but I'm hoping that there will be enough interest to allow me to start other projects that I have in mind.Keep up the good work!
Kip.

MANIC is 100% correct - the cost of machining, patenting, licensing, marketing, is way to costly for this little hobby. Don Grubee is the only one probably making alittle money. Anyway, Manic's work is outstanding to say the least, i hope you don't cut us off - we need your skillz...

Hey, fish heads and rice aren't cheap, lol. But seriously, we all appreciate your work. I can't wait to get my billet intake!

Re: Getting "RICH" making stuff for MB's

you are so right Jim,when i made my first cheesy walmart china girl build I made it for like 250$. I had about 40 people ask how much they cost and I told them the truth , they acted like that was too much.
Ain't that the truth...

I spend enough money on my bikes to make someone rich.
