Hmmmm! you should have made twenty or even more. Damn now want am I going to do if my bike does not sell? Make my own!
Good job anyway. I'm sure there are six happy superhawk owners out there right now, without a crick in their necks because of you.

Not saying that I won't for sure, I just need to reevaluate it. I do have enough stock already cut for 9 more sets they just need machined and powdercoated, it would be a waste to not use them. So there will more than likely be more made.

I received my set, and they look great! Thank you, and my input would be to charge just a bit more to make it worth your while, offer to this forum firt, then put them on Ebay, and think you may have a winner.
Just a suggestion, and maybe they are hard to find, but the supplied 3/4" long allen bolt is a bit short IMHO, and I will be hoping to find a 7/8" long set. I want to get the most number of threads to bite on.
Thank you again, they look great, glad I got in on the ground floor so to speak!!!

Thanks Guys, I agree that a little more length would have been nice but all I could get was 3/4 or 1". If I change to a standard buttonhead without the flange I could probably get a 7/8 but then I may need to add a washer. What do you think?
I need to order more hardware anyways if I make another run of them.

Two Thumbs up for archaicguy
I just recieved mine last night, looks awesome, will be sending you the first non-powercoated ones tomorrow in exchange. The current Gloss Black ones match Great.
I plan on hitting the local McDaniels Hardware store tomorrow to check for different bolt options, but again, great job!
I look forward to seeing something other than my elbows in the RVM!

Ok, a little report; I went for my first ride Thursday. I will mention I have installed the Comfort Kit from UK that exchanges the upper triple clamp for an upper that enabled me to install the supplied Renthal superbike bars.
WTF!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
The vision in the mirror now is UNOBSTRUCKTED!!! Best and one of the least expensive mods I've ever done. A big thank you, very nice !!

I finally got around to installing mine and test riding. What a huge improvement in rear and side visibility! Worth every penny and the finish blends perfectly with the stock mirror stalks.
I would like to find a slightly longer black bolt though, I am afraid of over tightening but that joint needs to be solid.

I've been able to test mine out all this week too and love it. If I decide to make more I will order the 1" size and just trim them down a little to fit nicely. If I do I will gladly send a set of the bolts to anybody that that purchased a set from me and wants some longer bolts.

Ok I'm considering another run if there is enough interest. With the cost of material and hardware I will have to ask for 42.00 per set shipped this time to make it worth my while. Any takers?
