Well, its about time! No but serioulsy. For all your work done. Let me be the 1st to say GOOD JOB!!

LOOKS AWSOME!! its too bad it was that much of a hassle. But it paid off. 12 hours for a job like that would have pissed me off. I wouldnt even have attempted. I woulda gave it back. Ill be waiting for the hugger made by a member on GS. Apart from that, good job again. I like it.

You'd think since they haven't sold many in the US that they'd take extra care to make sure that it went together well and was painted good. :dunno:

It looks great, I must say. You did one heck of a job

but is it actually coming along?? ur last post was nov 27?

airbrush · January 12, 2005, 08:33:29 PM

yup...i started on it yesterday...i was delayed before the holidays by other "paying" projects...so it got put on the backburner til now. I'm in no rush as this is something I am doing for myself, so lets put it this way...gaurantee you it will be done by spring, time for riding.

Thanks JetSwing---great write-up.

But man, that sucks. :x

At this point I can say I'm glad I held off on ordering to read your review.

What a disappointment.

like i've said, if you don't mind the work, give it a thought...but i guess it all boils down to whether it's worth the money for you...

i would say a weekend spent on something that says its made for the bike is pretty lousy!

fettcols · January 13, 2005, 10:04:53 AM

Okay, who wants to be the first to make a mold of this thing and start making a better product here in the US?

As far as the hugger goes, do you think a person would be better off paying the $100 bucks for a bandit 400 and trimming it themself?

airbrush · January 13, 2005, 10:15:21 AM

well if my hugger turns out well enough...I will think about possibly making an undertail as well but that will be a ways off as this I am just making this stuff in my spare time...which is limited.

As far as the bandit one is concerned... i would say hold off til you see the results of mine...then you wont have to do any trimming at all.

Looks like Aluizio Motors should have spent a little more time on R&D than on advertising.

Send me the parts and I will pull a mold off of them to make them out of carbon fiber.

Sorry about all the extra work, but it does look very sweet on the bike.
