bonnyusa meant tribal ripped off newspeedmaster's design. There was some scuttlebutt about this awhile ago.

OK then,.....I don't want to start ranting about this again,.....but please leave John alone. He is a member here and hasn't posted for ages....and has only just started looking again after the last outburst.
Just a nice guy trying to a make a couple of quid....
Lowey,
I have the shifter rod thingy. Looks pretty, just never got around to putting it on yet...but will. It's on the list of things to do. Paul has it on his. And as he's based here in the UK, the prices you see are what you pay. No highwayman charges (customs). All I can say is I've not seen any problems with his work (I also have a thumb bolt and that's survived this last rainy summer no problem). And no, I'm not related, or anything else. Just met him as a member of this place.

So we should overlook the ripped off hammerhead design so we can 'all just get along'?

Well, I think your site looks pretty cool John. I've trawled quite a few sites looking for quirky bits and yours is the best (could do with a payment thingy on the website though). Can you knock me up some cheap rear foothangers

Thanks for your pos comments Lowey. Been working away from the UK for most of this year, so not doing any product development, but rear peg hangers are now back on the drawing board. Toying with different designs. Current fav is something like the Nike "Swoosh". Nice and simple, but attractive. They'll be laser cut, polished stainless, of course. If you have any special design ideas, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Better email me though ! John

If you think that's expensive, check out the prices for the "Genuine" Harley shift rods.... same style! That was one piece of bling I did install. My Speedy's stock shifter rod could be my Softail's Deuce's twin! <G> Mary

Thanks all for the nice words. Much appreciated. I'll let you know when the new peg hangers are available and I've reserved some mirrors for you Andy (biker_benny). You know I don't wait for cleared payment before I ship to past customers, so why not have them now ? John

A hammerhead motif would be a nice design and would match the bar ends you sell too. I did think a Liverbird, but I don't suppose there are many TBA owners that support LFC.

I don't think the "Hammerhead" as you call it (3/4 of a Maltese cross actually) lends itself to this part. As a Derby County Fan (well someone has to do it !!!) I draw the line at the Liver Bird !!!!  .....(actually be very expensive to do as a one off). In my mind I keep coming back to the Swoosh, but which way up ?

I can see why you're not thrilled at designing a Liverbird. At least we had the decency to stop scoring at six. The only plus point for Derby fans is that its got to get better. Have you stopped doing the bag supports now. Greetings Nick, theres at least two of us on the forum. Torres for another hat trick against Wigan?
Cheers Chris
All the best

Unfortunately for us Rams fans, there's no GOT to get better guarantee. The ONLY good thing is that we'll have had a season in the Premiership and sorted the finances. Still, that's better than nothing. I've stopped doing the Saddlebag frames, until/unless I can get the price down. Manufacturing costs are a killer, especially with all the polishing, if I'm going to be competitive. Sorry.
