All critisimns welcome..

To be honest, if anything, the kink in the bend would be the only thing I think that would be an issue if trying to actually sell them. Personally it doesn't bother me, I think they look absolutely fantastic, but some people may question the bend simply because they don't understand the physics (for lack of a better word) of bending tubes....without a VERY expensive machine.

However, if you got a metal fabricator with the right machine to knock out a crap load of bent pipes for you, and you did the rest, you could be onto a winner.

Out of curiosity, how much do they weight, as a set? Just thinking in terms of postage costs if you were to flog them off on eBay or what ever.

haha sorry

Banj, if priced correctly you should be able to sell them, and as you gain experience and the product "presents" better increase your prices!!

OK all done got the bolts in the brackets.
Got the last coat of paint on & dried..
Got the grip tape on & the bolts in the rails..









WELL ???????????

Wouldn't worry about that... just pm me with a $$ when done and if you can weigh and measure them too so I can work out freight to melbourne.

thx
