I like your design better And would love to do a side by side test o the two since my GF, Buellchick here on the forum has a Lightning she could moun it to and I could mount mine to my Ss swing arm.

We ride together all the time so it would give us the ability to do a real world side by side for fit, finish, and overall quality.

Feel free to email me, I would pay for shipping to help out too.

Looks good! Hopefully the sticky tape will keep it from rotating.

OMG sticky tape? Be careful! Air pressure is naturally going to rotate that upward.

Couldn't you drill a hole and use a set screw instead of tape to keep in place?

Maybe he isn't using tape, i just heard him mention it on his other thread.

That looks awesome man. The only problem is, the other one that xtreme paid for was like $20 bucks.

Not too sure if you could fab your item and make a profit for that price or not, but if you can, you shouldn't have a problem.

The one xtreme has is nice for the price. As for the one i made me and my dude who is a welder seen evlxbs design and just decided to take a crack at it. as for mass production we never planned on makin anymore due to the cost and labor that goes into it. i just like this design due to the fact it bolts onto the swingarm with no extra parts needed.
