I sent him a PM so we will see if he will help...any other suggestions or ideas would be nice if he doesn't help out.

kinda gun shy to huck her now until I can resolve this problem. that sure is a crap design!

cool...not sure how much you browsed through his build thread...but he gave the name of the company that supplied him with the Ti parts...

http://racetechtitanium.com/

scroll down about half way, and he mentions Race Tech Ti...

Yea that place wants 350 bucks min for a steel one, or bout 750 for a Ti one. Little rich for my blood! Seems pretty insane for one little footpeg mount!

I should've warned you...there's nothing cheap about titanium.
that's why you see very little, or zero of it on bikes at your local Sunday track.
for the most part, it's only the full factory guy's that use a lot of it...hence one of the reasons factory bikes cost 6 digit figures.

yea and that was a rough guess, cause they have never made one so it really untelling what the final cost would be.

I'm curious to know what they charged JBernard.
