    Are they shutting down? I am not surpised, but they do have the most amazing templates anywhere. Hopefully the guy will make some coin selling those templates.
    Prices were at the bottom of each item..PITA

    unless im wrong, any clever lad with a 3-D printer could be popping these out to order, right?

    3d printing has a place in the world, but with the materials, size machine and cost, it is way too expensive to make these parts viably. This does not count the UV/durability type of material needed. To make original bodywork you need to scan in every millimeter of a pristine new piece. That hardware is 5-10k for scanning mm by mm of curves, radii, etc..

    Nobody wanted to buy him out last I heard. Not surprised, he may have been grandfathered in on some CA shit.

    Should be an interesting assets auction, if that happens.

    And it's still not that easy. I have a laser scanner at work that can do that. But to get the raw data to a file that can then be cleaned up for printing is not just pressing a "PROCESS" button.

    He looks to be getting out of motos entirely. Hopefully his health is ok. He has been selling bikes for a while now.

    He's "retiring". He's been doing it a LONG time and is not young. I'm sure he was hoping to sell the business as an Enterprise. Like I said, if it doesn't happen, the auction is hopefully lucrative.
