We are slowly but surely getting the hang of using the new machine.
We've only designed one new product so far, but we are working at starting to do work that we previously paid others to do for us.
TP Relo that....
...still needs to be tumbled and then powder coated.
In process of being cut...
...and finished cutting.

Nice!! Production should go up and, hopefully, cost down.
Yes, and better control over inventory levels and quality, plus being able to design new parts.
The cost part is being messed with in the last month or so. Cost of steel and aluminum has gone up quite a bit...even though the tariffs are not actually raising the prices yet, the suppliers are raising prices "because they can'.

Thanks , I know your right!
hard to believe the kuryakins I replaced were 3 an half bills.....these were a buck fifty. But I like the 4.5 inch look much better than the puny 2.5's I took off.

Yea, cost of metal is rising. People are getting scared. Same thing with gas prices when something happens.

So that's what it looks like with the faring front off. I'm going to have to go in there sometime my stereo is in "protect send service" mode, but I'm just enjoying the sound of the pipes for now ☺

LED's
I'm finding the light colour and out put is so much better, I have LED's in my turn signals, brake and now head light. My passing lights now look yellow and dim. I didn't get a chance to ride the bike in the dark but just the difference shining on the fence in the day time is great.
