I have read several posts regarding Highway/Crashbars for the 800 Drifter. I am guessing like most other members I've spent hours surfing the net and ebay etc.
Since there seems to be a demand for them (especially black) has anyone attempted to contact Guido, or any other supplier,manufacturer, to see if they might be prepared to offer VDR members a discount (say 15%) if ordered by VDR members?
I know Singh of Singh Saddleries will honor a 10% discount on saddles bought by VDR members.
Or - is there a VDR member who either has the skills and tools, or a friend in the engineering industry, that could copy an original set, with details of measurements, degree of bends etc that could fabricate a set (with computer records, pdf file) that could be shared - or just make them to order?
They wouldn't need to be powder coated or painted, as I am sure all VDR members know how to use sandpaper and a spray can, or have friends who are painters!!!
It's just an idea, I thought I would throw it out there to VDR members and their thoughts. (Neanderthals are not known for their ideas)
Then again I am a Kiwi Caveman.....Kore rawa e rawaka te reo kotahi (Maori) or English translation (One language is never enough)
The top ones are the ones you want, not sure how the others attach.
Ledrie used to manufacture and sell parts but they went out of business a while back and I think Guido bought out their stock, and he was getting someone to manufacture some parts from what I understood from the UK site. There is a member on the UK site who does manufacture some parts, rectifier covers, and spoke covers, not sure about engine guards but I will ask him.
As for asking for the discounts I do not have any pull or the wherewithal to do that .....
