30 racks. " " " "
as well as various other makes but don't know the figure but some where between 45/60.
you would've thought that things would have slowed down by now after 10 years.
and recently I've been busier than ever
from April til now 20 grab rails and 4 racks.
just had to make some more. paris shuttle transfer
5 GT750,5 GT550,5 T500 and 3 GT750 racks (2 for customers in waiting) 1 GT550 RACK.
going to try and sell these two on ebay GT750/550 rack and see if I get what I want.
a used one went for £155 on ebay about 2 weeks ago.
others I've got to make is some kawasaki two strokes as well as some more for Suzuki..
so I'll be busy for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
not bad eh for a one man band :wink:
not easy to sell on e-bay, because the number of person receiving the commission is many

this what most folks see,they seem to think that paying £80 is what I get.
£80 minus 14%(ebay/p/pal fees) =£68.80 thats all I get.
not forgetting that the postage gets 14% knocked off to.

I’ve just received a grab/sissy rail for my GT 185 from John and I have to say I’m more than happy with it, not sure if the photo do it proud, but trust me it’s very nice indeed 👍

I’ve tried to add other photos but the site won’t let me 🤬
