We have been working on these for some time they are not quite ready but are now eminent. We need at least 10 takers to make this work.

Parts we will be including are new plugs that go on the body because if you remove these (it they are even there) they are most likely to fall apart.

The front and rear bars in polished 316 grade stainless. We will also include new leather straps. These will be true reproductions.

The rubber base isolation pads will also be included.

We will offer another version that I will detail more on later.

The issue is I don’t have costing done on these yet. I’m going to be able to have it shortly But for now the number will be somewhere in the $200-$300 range. The more I can make the better it gets. If I’m wrong and there is more demand we can do better on price, so for now I’m trying to gauge the market.

Who is interested in a set?

Are you going to passivate the welds? If you're doing a lot the costs generally aren't too high and would keep HAZ rust away for a loooooooong time.

I'm interested in a rack that holds a bike securely. These don't look like they'd be strong enough.

Yes we do on all of our stainless. We do a lot of marine work so it’s nothing new

I have a long history of putting things on sports cars that don't belong.

Will these ski racks come with the rubber inserts for the front windshield frame?

Judging from the interest looks like we could move forward and have product in the next 60 days. Not quite sure if we actually have the 10 here, but that's where the numbers start to make sense and the momentum shows that we should be able to get 10 takers.
After that the numbers start getting better.

Depending on what the options are I'm interested. Can always use a roof rack. Not that I know what snow is.
