I want a set. You should have already got a payment.

I want a set but you have not told me your paypal or if you would rather me give you cash and pick them up 
What ever you want, just let me know.

Cafeman - paypal is OK, I need starting $$ ...
The goal is to get $, make them with that $ and get them all out when done ... dont need to sit for months with the $, and have a bunch of bars when I'm done.
Watch your PM cafeman. You can pick up or I can bring it by on a weekend ... not a problem.

hey Buddha, ( lol almsot called you somethign else) next sportish bike i get, if its not a gs500, ill hook up with you, and see if you want to try another model of bar, err a bar liek that for another model of bike. with teh truck wreck tonight, me gettign another bike may come sooner than i expect3ed 

I suspect the 4 welds will fit pretty well on a ninja 650, SV650, FZ1/6, Z1000/750 kawi, among others, cos those all take the SM2's and these are too close to the SM2's ... how well and how comfy ... and if it will clear everythign in all possible rotational configurations ... that is the Q, cos I made them with slightly different angles and lengths ... to clear an 04+ for all the controls etc ... so its a wee bit different than an SM2. man If I make them and have a few lying about, I'll flag down random bikes off the road and fit them. Problem is ... I dont have any sitting around after I make them ... I sorta make just as many as ordered. I hate having un sold stuff.
Thanks for not calling me somehting else. 
Cool.
Buddha.

Those look sweet!

I dunno there is a lot of inertia for orders, and I am dead set against making them and sitting on them. I work with no margin ... in fact the first 2 lots ... ~25 bars I made 3 years ago, I lost $$$ ... almost 6-7 a bar. Steel is $$$, almost pushing 4.50 a foot ... like 4 bucks a lb and 1lb is ~11". Welding, jigging, mitering, testing ... gaaaa ... Anyway, having stuff sitting is a good way to sell them, but I'd rather get pre-sold ... then make a few extra and sell them. I'd like to see a recession ... true recession where steel and other industrial commodity/raw material prices drop to reality.

These bars look like crap ... we threw pain on to cover the scrapes and grind spots ... lousy ugly mess. The burrs weren't smoothed, pityful. But the focus was on getting it properly jigged ... that worked - 

I dont even know why I try crap like this ... yea I know ... because I can ... forget it ... bwaaaa ...

Cool.

been a few months since I sent payment. Is this ever going to happen?

Yes it will, how and when is the question. I talked to my welder about a slightly different way of doing it. I dont know man, I can refund you if you're impatient.
I wont advocate waiting for anything if your part is broken. Dotn ride around with a badly bent/broken bar saying you want these. Some of these experimental things take longer than they initially seem.
Cool.

just not sure how long I can even hold on to my bike. got laid off and might have to put it up for sale.

sure would be nice to get the bars before I   have to sell it. If I dont get them soon im going to have bars and no bike
