As the owner of Ragan Fab Works I would like to set the record straight that these brackets are not CNC machined, but they are CNC bent for a perfect fit everytime. I chose stainless for durability not for looks. You know there are some people that are not fabricators that are more comfortable putting a part on their bike that they know will fit and is guaranteed. That my friend I can stand behind.

Well that changes everything, I stand corrected; laser cut, CNC bent, stainless steel....turd on a string. There is absolutely nothing you can say, my friend, that can justify the cost of your repair brackets. I find it humorous that you feel compelled to mention that you "stand behind" a gauranteed fit product that must be aligned and drilled by the customer. All BS aside, congratulations on actually selling some of these, I'm a little jealous.

We could all also save money by not riding Harley's, but that's not going to happen. How many people have spent the $200-$300 the Harley dealer wants to charge to replace the brackets? I'd say Ragan's solutions isn't a bad price in comparison.
