How's about taking on the jackup kit from supersteve??

He wasn't gonna be selling anymore of them and there was quite a bit of interest in them!!!

Aye deeper snails to protect the swingarm, along with longer stainless rear spindle.

id like decent levers and a decent shifter

ok lads for a set of stainless steel dogbones @ 10mm  your looking at about 37-40quid retail. how does that sound??

they will look like this but with a better finish on the faces of them. this one is one i had made ages ago will be the same shape ect . alot nicer than the ones th me n steve had made up befor.

u reckon nev? dinno man stainless aint cheap tho m8 if it was mild steel then maybe would ppl rather have mild steel??

thts for a pair aswell nev

Aye Bradders agreed stainless is a factor in the price, I have a 3m length of 25x5mm stainless flat bar in my garage from when I made myself a boat trailor a few years ago, I think it cost me about 30 quid then so you can probably add another tenner say on the price nowadays, but cheaper still if you go to a metal scrappers, but like you say mild steel would be another option seeing as most people would have them powdercoated/sprayed to the colour of their choice anyway.
Don't get me wrong it looks all nice being done by CNC, but if I was making them, I'd find a fab shop that has a Guillotine or Cropper/Punch machine, set the back stop at 6" is it? crop off say 48 pieces (2 dozen sets), then set up the punch with a 16mm? punch and die, and a backstop for the holes, then radius each end on a bench grinder job done. A bit longer (10 mins?) if a 'bone' profile was ground out.

the ones steve had made carried my fat arse for over a year off-road and on and mostly on the back wheel there not bad and 5 mins on on the desk grinder and a lick of paint they looked good

if you made a sm bracket to take brembo on sm wheels i would buy one for sure

He's not doing one offs mate. Since USD's can all be different.

Toy I've told ya before, measure up and I'll make one, there's about half a dozen permeatations for the bracket I have the brackets for three types I think,
heres a couple I have to hand.

nev m8y what the differance between these other than the obvious different shapes but the descriptions are thesame for both?? which ones which? and how thick are these?

i could easily make these but the drawing for the second one is gonna have to be more in depth. the top left hole will be my X Y 0 datum/start position. but the hole to the top right.. i work on polar radius and polar angle to tell the machine where the hole needs to be drilled. on that drawin the hole has a radius of 45mm thts the distance from the first one (XY0) but ill need to know the angle. 0deg is straight line in x+ to the right. x-to the left would be 180deg straight up in y- would be 90deg ect so a rought guess goin by the pic id say its about 25-30 deg polar angle. ill need to know the exact angle of it to get it spot on. same goes for the bottom right hole. remember i wont have any means of trial fitting these brackets

 Ya lost me at 'Nev' Bradders,

no seriously theres a few different combinations and all need different brackets, my SM set up is DTR forks, twin pot DTX caliper, and a 320mm TDR Italia/ rs125 disc, which is 20mm bigger than the DTX one, at 300mm,

If I ever manage to sort out caliper dust rubbers I'll bang on the TDR Brembo twin pot on, which has different mount points again , which I'll need another bracket for that too.
