i have all the resources i need, i just dont want to spend even over 100 bucks for something so simple. Also i am going to make it where i can take them off and on. yeah i know Tim is coming out with some. He has alot on his plate and there are more important things that need to come from there first , lol... :nono:

You can't make it cheaper than that without a lot of labor and time (and in my mind, time is expensive as well). If you really wanted, you could buy the end-links, 1/2 DOM tubing, and weld-in DOM threaded mounts off ebay. This would be cheaper, but you also have ot have access to a welder, and the time to make the bars. IMO this is a cheap option, and is fairly easy to fab up.

Sorry, don't want to do that if Tim is making his own bars. It's not like nt.com, which is really independent of any sponsors. This is his website to sell/discuss his products, I don't want to post a DIY here for something he is planning on selling.

Pat's traction bars come out sweet, nice easy bracket assy, a good sleeved polymount insert on either end ,with the adjuster nut in the center. It took all of 10 minutes to install and that included painting the brackets when it cooled down , I definately am goin to get them done on my Tib, the wheel hop was frikkin Skeeeery:(

I'm trying to get on at Bryles research and taste foods for market testing just to have extra money to buy these. Is there an ETA yet?

(I know how busy it is. It's just hard not to spend the money. I'm actually contemplating going out on a *gasp* date instead. Someone knock the sense into me.)
