Bought Cycle One-off FZ-1 in black for my bike. From their site they look fairly nice. In person on the bike, I won't mince words, P.O.S.
They appear to have been hand cut (and not well), the holes for the bolts were burred on both sides and not filed, and the fit was very poor.
For $65 dollars I expected a bit more...say CNC machined to precisely fit. Hell you can buy electronics cheaper than the $4 worth of material that he has in these pieces.
I know someone here used to make and sell his own custom block offs, but doesn't any longer. Therefore, I'm going to design up some and if they work well (which they will) I'll be offering them here for not much more than cost. Mine will be CNC milled to size and fit like a glove, or I won't sell them. I'll update this thread when I have something ready. Until then I'll use these crappy ones. :rant:
