Good to go in my book Kenny.

Do you want the additional cost included when payment is made for shipping?

Thank you.

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.

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..

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. :lol22:

Thanks Grumpy,
