Risers are CNC machined using stock ones as a sample but they have been slotted and they're 1" longer on the base. Really curious to have them installed. Coil cover is CNC machined as well and this chrome version is an experiment since they weren't originally produced by the maker.
Both parts have been machined by Tecnicad, a local maker with whom I'm planning to have other projects done. Will post better pics as soon as I'll have all the parts installed.
Those shiny parts look awesome! Can't wait to see them installed....especially the one of those covers that will go on my bike

They should look cool on both our bikes...for sure better than the stock plastic hand grenade!

that's bad *** dude. you're the man for helping get some new parts made.
I want one of those coil covers in raw unfinished metal so I can wrap it in carbon fiber. can you see about hooking a brother up? also are they going to do black parts or maybe just raw metal so customer can paint / powdercoat?

Glad u like them, LA_Dog!
Yep, glad to be of help if needed. Tecnicad sells these covers in various types, polished metal, contrast cut, red...
Will ask for a quote for a brother if you wish but have to warn you they're a bit more expensive than casted ones since they're CNC machined.

Yep, looking forward to seeing the risers installed, still waiting to collect some parts to start a new session. 1" longer should be a reasonable increase to allow a higher pullback and a more comfortable riding position without having any cable length issue.
Which type of finish would u prefer on the coil? Polished? Black? Just to ask for a quote with shipping to US included...
