Inexpensive Alloy Bodywork

A friend of mine just sent me pics of the metalwork he's been doing.
He lives in Atlanta, Georgia and his email is jason6010 at yahoo dot com.
Obviously all questions should be directed to him.

For perspective he said a Bonnie tank would be around $800. He is open to doing other bits like Dunstall fairings and what not. Turn-around, I believe, is around a month.

I included his email address. I guarantee he would do a front fender as well.

I sent him an e-mail, but you may want to tell him he'd save himself some headache if he'd get an account here and answer questions in one thread that a lot of people are going to have.

I already told him that.

Yeah, I emailed him too, a front fender would be nice as well as a hugger for when the battery box is eliminated

Very nice. I'll probably hit him up for a front fender and cowl. That is, of course, if I ever get the tank I ordered from T.A. Baker about 5 months ago.

Oh not so. It's very much verboten to shill stuff here unless you pay-to-play.

Was not aware of that. I sure wouldn't want to put out the site supporters who spend a lot of time answering our questions and help keep the site running.

Perhaps this guy can make stuff for BellaCorse and I could buy it through you guys. It would make life somewhat easier for him, he could make a collection of them then see what gets ordered or something.

I dunno. I do know that I've been looking to get leight-weight metal versions of the cowl, side covers, possibly front fender, so I can powder coat them using the same textured paint I'm using for the rest of my metal bits... the one who has them that match stock with decent quality for the most reasonable price will get my business when I can afford to buy them
