I keep em fair trade stock part for a CF part (sometimes they get hurt during the process)

I have to prime them and get all thestickers off so I have a clean mold

I have another thought, althoughi dont have a part, but maybe you could tell me if it would be feasable. One of those swingarm license brackets. I seriously cant find one for less then like 80 bucks, they are just crazy for pricing. I would gladly pay like 50 bucks for 1, but anything more for a lil piece of bent metal seems silly to me.

so they are size specific for each swingarem then...Jesus why cant **** be easy... making it woul dbe easy but for $42 but that one I see how they are made and would worry about the cf getting crushed by the nut and breaking offalthough we could make a bracket out of aluminum and then put cf on it or find another way to mount it like off the chain guard send me a pic of your chain guard

I would say just cover an aluminum piece in CF and then leave a little piece bare around the mounting point. Most are Brand specific. I really dont know though. Usually one will fit all Suzukis, One for All Hondas, etc. usually the SA dimensions like that are pretty similar.

Ok i guess they aren't as generic as i thought, sorry. but for example these guys are getting 100 bucks for this piece of metal, i wouldn't even care if it didnt have the cuts in it. My thought was that all rear axles are basiclly the same size diameter. so instead of making the mounting point one of the brackets, just make it the thickness to replace the washer behind the axle bolt. I dunno its late and my brain is running low now.
