Hi Guy's and Gal's I have made a few of these out of 6061 aluminum, Cut out on a scroll saw and hand sanded to eliminate any blimishes. I spend about two hours on each one, and have 5 availiable right now with plans of making more if they go over good. I am doing this as a piddle in the garage hobby because I like that sort of stuff and a little extra money is alway's nice! These pieces are polished to a mirror finish and looks fantastic on my bike, Pictures are not reflective of the real in your hand piece so if you want one Email me at tmac12@iwon.com or send me a PM and for $15.00 (includes shipping) I'll send one to ya! Also if you are not satisfied in any way with it send it back and every penny will be refunded! Send a paypal payment or send me a check what ever works best for you! For Paypal payment send to tmac12@iwon.com and be sure to include your shipping address. Update:  These little guy's are selling like hotcakes so I am making several more of these! If you want one just place your order! No one will be left out, Just send payment through paypal or contact me! I will make as many as needed or requested! note: The pic of my hand holding the wireholder you can see the camera lens and fleshtone reflection!! Take a look!!!!

Nice work, Terry. I was too lazy to exert that much effort, & bought one from da' Boogieman. If you haven't seen his version (polished, $12.50!!!), then check out his store... Street Boogie's Wire Holder

Hi Mike, I make these to match the original, Some folks may prefer that over the shape he offers, and my price includes shipping. I'm sure we are in the same ballpark on price. now on quality I wouldn't know about his because never seen one but I can assure you that these that I am making are slick with no flaws. Maybe boogieman won't mind a little competition. Tmax

Capitalism.... that's what it's all about. Yours really look nice. Am sure you'll be doing a lot of polishing in the near-future !!

Just ordered mine. Excellent job, T!!! And if these have the same attention to detail as the polishing work you've done for us in the past, We won't be able to tell if these are polished or triple chrome plated.
Thanks!!!!!

While we're at it I know member SRS is also turning these out - chromed steel rather than polished alloy. I know this because there's one on my bike  . I also know that he's and really nice guy and didn't want to step on Tmax's toes by shouting about it here, but since T's already stepping on Boogieman's I thought I'd jump in on his behalf. *grin* Maybe good for those of us in the southern hemisphere - much faster/cheaper than shipping from the other side of the planet. I believe you can find his on Ebay Australia, or you can email him directly through the user list here, or contact him through me. Matt

You know me so well!
Actually fitted the gizmo and it works .. it sorta .. holds the cables there 
Looks niiiiiice !!
Actually went to the footy (I know you hate footy!) but it was the local team (Burton Albion) with an official opening doodad for the new ground and they played Man Utd!!!
Not the proper first team but some bleedin' kids ..
Though Sir Alex was there (though just out of bottle range!).
Obviously didn't want to risk the multi-million pound w*nkers against a Non League team.
Lucky I got my ticket in lieu of some drawings for a mate
(Let me work that out ... 2 days work in exchange for a 13 quid footy ticket ... me thinks I've been done!).

Mine looks awesome, accents the right side of the bike very well  .
For some people, the sky is the limit, for those of us who love aviation, it is home.
