If you don't have pics try telling us what it looks like!
What kind of welder did you use to make this?
How does it work?(bolts where, holds on to what)
Is it already drilled and tapped?
Does it come the hardware?
Are they painted?

Eight dollars is not a lot for something handmade. Figure it will take you an hour to make just one and then you have to drive to the post office and ship it(driving to the nearest post office finding a parking place waiting in line and mailing it wil take 15 -30 mins)then you have material cost and the time driving and picking it up. So far you have 1-2 hours into building just one, sure you could cut that in half if you make a bunch and ship them all at the same time. But you are not making any money, even if your are just making them and getting enough to cover the parts you are paying out of your pocket.

Time is money.

That is why handmade parts are so expensive, and also why everything is made in China.

Put up some pics when you have a chance. I say chrome them and sell em for 150 bucks each, people will pay that if you get there name on there.

Just kidding.

yz80rider586 · 01-28-2006, 05:21 PM

well there just like the ones on 50cc racing .com except welded with more supports and you dont need to change cables.. i will paint them with any color you want and they come with the hardware to bolt em up.. i like welding and building stuff as a hobby and ide like to sell them the price might rise justa lil bit becuase of shipping costs. thanks for lookin

yz80rider586 · 01-28-2006, 05:23 PM

jobobbjones · 01-29-2006, 01:57 PM

Where did you learn to tig weld?
That is pretty good for a 14 year old to know how to tig weld!
We have a couple mig welders that I am good at but I haven't gotten a tig welder yet because of the price. Can't belive your cousin just gave you one!!

84z50r · 01-29-2006, 02:00 PM

I think i smell BS thats my opinion,too be given a hole gas drive welder for free and be 14 and know how too tig?BS i think,if you do know how too tig i don't want you too be tiging the riser i might buy from you i want them miged so i trust the welds,

yz80rider586 · 01-29-2006, 02:01 PM

yeah well its kinda old i learned on my mig then gradualy worked up to tig.. tig welding takes alot of practice and patience but then you will get the hang of it on the bar riser i used a mig and then experemented witht he tig and the mig was easier... but if i would sell these one day i want quaility
