I have my own powdercoater here that can do what colour i want

That's a tough one, as in general it starts to be very difficult for us to do special things like this, simply because it now requires the personal involvement of several people, and pulling parts before they go to powdercoating, and creating a special place to put them while the rest are powdercoated, and then extra provisions to make sure they are shipped to the right spot, and then all the sudden someone forgot the special place that they were putting the 1 raw bar, which is now rusting because it's uncoated and lost in the warehouse somewhere, and then no one finds it for two months, and you end up being very very angry.

I'm just kidding, it MIGHT be possible, but generally we can't just because there is a lot of extra work involved. When we did special edition numbered products of the oil cap and battery tie down, there was TONS of extra work involved in getting the right people the right number, which really slows things down. The exact same thing happens with special requests, even we love to do them, but sometimes it just becomes impossible. However, with that said, I'm not shooting it down entirely, and I'd say maybe a 5% chance, maybe

@GrimmSpeed I know you may have mentioned this already, but I have been away for a bit - what is pricing looking like?

You lazy lazy man!!


i kid! i totally understand, i love doing custom stuff at work, but also hate it as it takes way to much time and is a a pain!

But then again... rusty could work..

My powdercoater can sandblast the bar anyway if i decide to change the finish, he doesn't charge me much So it's all good.

Stick my name on the list and bring it on!

Do you mean have the black-coated bar blasted? I had to pay extra to remove prior powdercoating from my wheels (using stripper) since they couldn't blast it off without likely damaging the metal. It's just too durable.

Now, if you meant blasting surface rust away, then yeah that won't be hard.

Shooting for an MSRP of $150, but we won't have a price officially until they are released. The group buy price will obviously be less than that, but we don't typically release that info until we're ready to ship these bad boys.

Me personally, I LOVE custom one-off stuff. It is one of my favorite things to do, and I've wasted a great deal of my life making sure all of my own stuff looks just a bit different from the next guys. I've always loved the "Hey, where'd you get that"s and the "How the hell did you do that"s. I wasn't going to say anything because it was going to be a bit of a surprise, but on this project we did a little something for the folks who like their own stuff a little different. The GS tag is stainless steel, which gives people the option if they want a little flash to sand the powdercoat off the face of the logo, leaving a cool brushed stainless "GS." This way the people that want the oem look can have it, and people who want a little bit more can easily get a little more. We thought it was a cool thing to add in that lots of people might be interested in. This is sort of a version of our "optional branding."

I personally will not be. I am just WAAAAAAAYYY too important to this company, and it would literally fall apart if I were even gone for 20 minutes, so I'll be staying here. Some of our guys including Matt (engineering) will be there though, and they are just as good (if not better) than I am. However, they are not nearly as well dressed. Still though, ABSOLUTELY introduce yourself and say hi at our booth. Just don't tell them I said the thing about being way too important unless you want to hear what extreme laughter sounds like
