sheerider11 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Well 5 orders of a-arms and swingarms is a $10K order, Not really a small cash order.Right, but that will be it. No one else will pay for these arms. If he can even get 5. He makes each design, builds it, and handles it all on his own. So he makes it seem. But what are his cost? After all said and done, I bet he's not making much. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 If he is doing all the work, his only cost is material and shipping. I doubt on the $1300 swingarm he has $300 into steel and shipping. So he is making around a $1000 on each swingarm for his labor. Not sure of this is good or bad as no clue how much time he puts into the design and fab of them.It cost more then just steel. You know this. Elec. Welding supp. Jig set up Shop supp. Mistakes. Maybe help. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk You aren't a fucking pro MX racer. You don't even have a motor. For what you spend on this stuff, you can buy almost every suspension component for your level of riding. Fireball, Roll, Laeger, etc all build components that will do the SAME thing at a fraction of the cost. I'll just go ahead and say it now, this will NEVER happen. Same as Fullbores. They aren't coming back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Apparently no one has seen his jigs. They're all engineered, laser cut, assembled. HUGE money in those jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Doesn't matter anyway. You'll never get 5 people committed to $2500 for this shit. The wait will be a long one while he engineers it, has jig parts made, builds jigs, cuts parts and then builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 In three years I'd be down for it, but out of my budget as of right now. That's why I went alba lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I bet I could get GT Performance to make the exact same shit for less that half the cost of these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
