Well all here are 2 pics only of the Stainless steel foot rests

They have just been straight cut and then welded so have yet to have sharp edges removed and polished up.

Should 3 sets done for viewing at Inverell,

The extra width with 3 little hole are an option for automatic operation (central locking units)

What price have you on these fine specimens of innovation

As we are still in the process of costings and such including trying to get cheaper shoulder bolts & getting the covers organised so as yet we cannot give a firm price but we are hoping they will finish up around the $150 to $180 or so.
We will trying to do them as cheap as possible.' especially for members

Mate these look AWESOME!, i am looking forward to seeing them in action!

sargent · « **Reply #4 on:** September 13, 2012, 08:33:13 PM »

i'm already up for a replacement cover thanks to a little red roo last week

The

West Wyalong bakery did make me forgive him a little.
Consider then you have just sold 1 set when ready.

Still think something just in front of my pegs, say 200 and down a little, maybe a 100 is what I would like

WendyL · « **Reply #6 on:** September 14, 2012, 08:23:19 AM »

Hey Tipsy,

I'm very interested in a set. An extra leg position would be awesome for the long straight roads we have up here in the NT.... :)

Mate when you've finished the 1100 design maybe you'd like to start on the 1300 design??? If so I'll take a set!!

Yes people once they have been all finalised and finished to a damn good quality I will you know and as to the price,

now a question is it only the police bikes in either have plate across the crash bar with 3 threaded holes in them.

I just checked the part numbers and the Police versions are different so that plate must be the difference.

Alan that plate and holes are there simply for the mounting of sirens, and nothing more from memory. As this is the reason for there existence a grinder would solve your dramas.

I gathered that, plus I don't have the P version anyway.

I don't want to remove the plate as it makes it a damn site easier to mount the blades.
no bracket needed underneath.

bit of an update
maybe it clears up some of the many posts

Quote from: Streak on October 07, 2012, 12:40:27 AM

Hi gents,

I see plans are afoot with the blades, are you looking at making a different style?

Cheers

Streak

P.s. make sure you hit reply all...

yes and no

maybe, after Tipsy solves the, non police bike, base plate mounting bracket,
(and there are lots of police bikes)
that assembly, with the top mounting plate does not then change.

we could probably offer a second style of Blade, similar to the 1300 blades,
same thickness (6mm stainless), same length, (about 9")
but about a 3rd slimmer, saves a little on cost and weight.

I like the stainless material,

but Tipsy thinks if he molded the Blades in Aluminium, it would make the cost almost ZERO

Aluminium is a relatively soft, durable, lightweight, ductile and malleable metal with appearance ranging from silvery to dull gray,

and Tipsy mentioned to me , He could re-produce them with almost no cost, if we keep up a steady supply of the base material. and possably some propane gas for the burner / heater / melter
and also a little LPG for his BBQ ;-)

BUT, at this stage in the development of the blades, Tipsy's original design holds fast and true,
the rest, ONLY time will tell

On Friday, I Rode up and Tipsy and I fitted the Highway Wings/Blades to my ST1100, they have worked a treat! rode about 250km home with them, and they sat nicely, and with the backets mounting it, i could rest my feet nicely on them for a different riding position, we do need to do some clean up where we cut in the tipover covers, but very very happy, Tipsy & Harie are very clever men!

below are photos of the processes we went through:

Tipsy & Harie are very clever men!
I have purchased a set from the smart pair.
I had them fitted but I found a slight problem with the covers. More an issue with the bike.
The blades are great.

STutter · « **Reply #22 on:** December 11, 2012, 07:22:42 PM »

Hi Tipsy and Harieg

What was the final price for these? Sorry if I missed it being posted elsewhere

Tipsy · « **Reply #23 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:53:46 PM »

High Stutter
they cost $150 + p&h,
I can take orders now but wont be ready until end of Jan 13 deposits are optional but would be much appreciated to help purchase materials.
This is for 1100 only.
cutting of the covers is not covered as I have not yet perfected that.

Tipsy

STutter · « **Reply #24 on:** December 11, 2012, 09:46:21 PM »

Righto. I'll get Christmas out of the way and send you boys some funds. How to they attach to the frame?

Once I get them I'll have to plan a decently long ride to break them in :)
