Madness....yes, side stands are coming for the spree and elites.

KingJeff....shipped priority mail. Dropped off at the post office at 1221 hrs. I don't know what time they pick up, but given your close proximity, I'd bet it will be there tomorrow or Thursday.

One day she will be mine. It's currently worth more than my car, so I have a long way to go.

That fit is....humbling.

Doesn't matter how beautiful it looks....off....of the scooter. :lol:

KingJeff, if you can send me your grab bar we can make this right. It's awesome to actually see that one on the scoot. There were some issues that were impossible to predict.

Other than the unfortunate fit, how was the product as a whole? Symmetry, welds, etc.

It's up to you where we go from here. Personally, I'm not going to be satisfied until we produce a working product. Plus my design is worthless at this point for future sales.

The stand alone product off the bike is pure quality !!! I would definitely send you my grab bar if you like? Do you want the other back or should I keep it as the Virgin voyage trophy?
