I've got my CNC guy quoting them right now. Knowing his pricing the way I do I'd expect to keep them at around $100-125 for the set. I've got him pretty backed up with other parts (I'm about 90% of his total business) so I'm not sure when he would be able to get the first ones made. Once I get the quote back I'll have a better idea.
Now where's my shifter?
Just kidding Jamie, I am out of the country right now delivering an airplane and I won't be back for at least a week more so no hurry.

The kicker is that my target price is to make a complete set! I've been pushing my CNC for a commitment but he's already so busy doing other stuff for me that he's not given me a definite answer yet. The good news is that he's got the part programmed!

Correct. If you go back to post 300 of this thread you'll see that I'm expecting the price to come in around $100-125 for the set.

Hi Guys,
Sorry that I haven't been able to get anything done yet. I know spring is here... and you guys are all wanting to get out on your bikes.
Anyway... I am actually sitting down right now to work on these. My projected price should be around $120 for the set. It could be less depending on how they run.
I should have my CNC program done today, and I'm hopping to have a rough proto done on Monday. If I get a prototype done... I will need someone to give it a test fit before we put this part into production.
The nice thing about a small shop like mine is that I can normally get things done... the problem is... I'm the only one here, so if I get busy... everything else gets put on hold.
On the plus side... One of the bikes I built is on the cover of the new JC Whittney catalog. (23" front wheel machined by me)

The work on the wheels are nice though...

Well my machinist made me a set and now the sets are going to be a bit more than he initially anticipated.
1 set 360.00
2 sets 300
3 sets 260
I can tell him if more are interested and get another quote.

Hi Guys,
OK... I did what I said I would. Today I worked on the prototype. Unfortunatly... my boring bar decided to eat it self. (aluminum welded to it) I will order a new one, more suited for deep holes in aluminum. I should have it in a couple days. If all goes well... I will have a new prototype done before the end of the week.
I got about a 1 inch hole before it got messed up.
I'll keep you guys up to date on it.

You know, the first thing I'd do to any Victory bike I got close too? I'd rip of the ugly plastic cover with the 10X inches on it... It's ugly beyond description... Having it on a stock bike is bad enough, but still there on that bike?! Nah-uh... Get it of!
The work on the wheels are nice though...

I agree... and so do most other Vic owners. But every time I ask someone what they want... they can never tall me. On the left side... it holds the key, and on the right... it covers 2 oil lines, and on a '08 or newer... it's covering some big valve for the emissions crap. (like an EGR)
I've often thought of just making a mount for a fake air cleaner, and it would give it an Harley look.
