    Amerikaner; I am not the one building/designing the lift just posting up info.

    As far as Deisel Moto they emaile me back and said it would be 2-3 weeks before final fit and finish (powder coat) was done so sales are about a month out.

    They also told me the would email me back when they are available.

    Sorry, forgot to tell you all the latest.

    Basically he is giving in. He would have to buy a mold for each side costing him $1000 per and then he would have the time and materials into the parts and figured he would have to sell some 1000 sets before he would pull a profit (figuring he would only be able to sell them for $200 at most) so he is basically done.

    Thanks for the info I have a friend looking into what he might be able to do as well... I guess he will run into the same problems but guess that just means we will have to wait for the diesel moto one

    And so Diesel Moto it is...

    Hopefully they can keep up with orders.. This has to be one of the hottest un-tapped Buell items that I can think of. Well at least one that's somewhat reasonable in price.

    Been a long time since I have posted here...

    Anyway...after giving up on the tail lift, I would like to offer up my prototype piece for sale.

    This piece is molded out of metal epoxy and is pretty much done and fits. It is molded and contoured perfect to match frame contour on outside. Isn't threaded to install because it will only be used to make a mold of it or to send it out to a CNC guy to make a program from. Only the one side. If a CNC guy makes a program, a reversed pieces can be done on CAD from it easily.
    I will sell it for $40 shipped. And you can be rest assured it was not copied off any other companies part. Made from scratch. I have a ton of time into this piece.

    this pice will lift the tail section to make a more exreme angle?

    and would a altered seat be required?

    Yes, it is a 1" tail spacer and the factory seat will still fit. This is a prototype model to use to manufacture the parts. Not a installable/usable part.
