Title: APFabrication
Post by: TAftonomos on October 11, 2008, 12:22:31 PM
Just stopping in and saying hi here on the mini-sponsor board.

I specialize in custom exhaust systems, chassis work, forced induction, and dyyno tuning.  Currently I'm concentrating on fab work only, as I no longer have a dyno facility nearby to utilize.

Sky is the limit on an exhaust, whatever you want, I can build.  Ti, stainless, inconel, etc..

I also have an EBAY store with lots of maintenance items on it, AMsoil filters, O-rings for fuel pumps, some frame plugs for SBK's and monster, and other assorted parts.

From time to time I get in totalled bikes that I part out, and will offer these through my ebay store, although I can respond here or via email about a part you may need.  Currently the parts rack is pretty dry, usually the end of the month is when I recieve bikes.

In any case, glad to be part of this new board, and I hope to help spread some good knowledge, problem solve, and generally contribute to the growth of the ducati community.


Rgds,

UPDATE:

S4RS/T "Kit" $87 including return shipping.  Add $60 for a core charge if I am supplying you with a bracket

$57 all other bikes.  I can cut the bracket to any length you specify, but I will leave it stock length unless told otherwise.  There are at least 3 different ways the gauges mount of different model bikes, and I do not have the resources to fit gauges to each individual bike.  Mounting the gauges below the triple will be up to YOU, the owner of the bike.   All I'm doing is rewelding the headlight brackets lower on the U Tube. 



I'm now offering a complete "kit" for lowering your gauges and headlight.  I've only modded them on S4R bikes 07+, so I'm not 100% sure it will work on the early model bikes.  I don't see why not, but again, until I have some sort of confirmation, it's proceed at your own risk.  The U brackets are all the same, so as long as the gauges are the same, and the triple tree is tapped all the way through, should be no problem.

Included in the kit:

One lowered headlight bracket.  TIG welded on a fixture to ensure that it's properly built. 
Pair of spacers for the gauge pod
Pair of Ti gauge mounting bolts

I'm working on getting some instructions written down, but it's all pretty straight forward.  Remove your stock bits, add these.


Price of the kit is $80, + a $60 core charge for the U bracket.  Right now I only have one core, but I'm expecting several more in the next week. 
Finish on the bracket is raw, it's up to you if you'ld like to have it powdercoated.  I painted mine, was cheap/simple/easy, however I'll be powdercoating it over the winter, just because the bike is "apart" for some more goodies.

+1 pics of the part and pics of the part on a bike from different angles would help.  I've seen a number of guys do this and they've all been similar but different.

will you be shipping oversea's I am really interested!

Once I have a sufficent core stock built up, I can offer them pre-powdercoated for an additional $15. 

Shipped is $15, but includes a return label for your core bracket.  All you would do is install this, and drop your bracket back into the box, securly affix the label, and drop it off at the post office.

I can also do them on a bracket/bracket basis, meaning you just send me your bracket, I'll mod it, and send it back with the nessicary items.
