I was a tool and die maker for some years and made a few before I left the company that shall remain nameless. They are made of aircraft aluminum, were CNC machined and die sunk, some got chromed, some got black powder coat. All are sweet !!!
. Send me your e-mail addy in a pm to me and I'll send you pics. There were 10 made, so you'll never see another on someone elses bike. I hink I have 3 left. They're not cheap, I have sold them as high as $475.00, but we'll talk about price of you want one of the remaining I have at home.

I didn't want skulls, lightening bolts and crap that everyone else had, that's when I decided to design and make my own. I had access to every CNC machine known to man, just about.

Nope just a guy with to much time on my hands. I got a small lathe from Grizzly tools to play with. I turned the spikes on that the rest is done all by hand. Flat piece of stainless cut with a reciprocating saw ,drill some holes,shape on a belt sander,and polish on a buffer.
