Hey Kenny, I will still take mine to, you done plenty of foot work to drag this out any longer, as long as they are that close I'm not gonna be the one to pick at them.

Re: Kenny's next reproduction: '78 style rear bumpers
Update: 9/10/12, I think we finally got them right. I reproduced a new jig to send it to VN & got two protos back, one went to Rainville & I kept the other one, Today I installed the one I have on two different 78 Liquifires & they bolted up perfectly on both sleds, without any drilling using 1/4" bolts like are used OEM.. So I'm good to go on production as soon as I hear from Rainville on if his bolting up the same way... Hint Hint Hint
Unfortunately the price has gone up ( sorry )to $30.50ea + shipping & will be $45.00 ea + shipping, if not prepaid by the time of shipping. Sorry for the $4.50 increase & all the delays, for all of you who have prepaid, but these problems with fitment & price increases were out of my control..

Grumpy!
Sorry, but I was called into meetings Tuesday when I was on "vacation". I am still on Boston until tomorrow (Thursday) night, but I will be home from Friday to Monday.
I somewhat promise to intend to try to remember to think about maybe bolting up the test piece and send you a pic or two.

Re: Kenny's next reproduction: '78 style rear bumpers
Well I finally got to OK from Rainville yesterday on the fit of the bars, so today I put in the order for 125 rear bumpers. I'll keep everyone in the loop on when they'll be shipped from VN ( by boat ) to the US..

Re: Kenny's next reproduction: '78 style rear bumpers
I bolted one onto my 78 CC Liquifire, and all six bolts dropped right in. I am pleased with the fit and look too.
Kenny, you know 6 out of 7 dwarfs are not happy.
Thanks Grumpy,

Re: Kenny's next reproduction: '78 style rear bumpers
Sorry I've been sidetracked from my JD project for a while and i forgot about getting a new bumper. Can I send payment and still get one of these?
