Dear weeksy, when you asked me if it was ok to advertise this I didn't want to discourage you, but I did have a feeling the response would have been like that.
Not a lot of people, and we can't blame them in these economic climates, are willing to overspend on bling, there are a very small percentage of those who are prepared for that, others would rather spend their pocket money on items which makes the bike quicker, such as filters, cans, PCIII etc.
I give you the example of Worry Brother and his tail didy project and also his DNA Stage 2 filter covers project, they make the bike pretty but making these he was not breaking even because of the low percentage of demand versus initial investement in the material purchased necessary to make these "bling bits"
Another good example is Kev'sFork Spacers they are made of high grade billet alluminium, lazer cut to Kev's exact requirements and are made by a workshop which charges him a lot of money, if he doesn't sell 1 single set he is at a loss.
It's a very sad state of affairs I am afraid.
