Hey Kenny,Have you had the SS at this event before? Wow 10,000 bikes,,,
Pamwe went up for one day last year in the SS. Its only about a 2 hour ride from here. Made a good day trip
-
There are plenty of restaurants here, let me know what kind of food you guys are thinking and ill list what we have here
-
Wanted to let you guys know that on August 18-21 there is a bike rally in Mountain View ... Unless something happens ill probably go up there on saturday or sunday for the day.

Sure does look like their fender - but it is not painted so add some $$ for paintHe uses Polaris paint which is extremely expensive plus labor
Metricks sells one without paint for $890

I just looked up Metricks ebay listing on one and in the description it says
"Warning don't be fooled by cheap imitations and inferior quality copies we are the originators!!" Looks like he may already know -
The ebay description says "I will come out with many designs". But, he did not come out with it, he stole it. That isn't Metrick's ebay information.
It's also odd that some of the pictures don't show the mounting brackets that are laid in to the under part of the fiberglass. Hmmm.....I didn't think it was Metricks. That was kinda my reason for posting about it, hoping Metricks would see the post and let us know if its legit or if he could take the guy to task for copying it. It looks like he copied the design on the fender and the mounts. Guess thats why he can afford to sell so cheap since he didn't have to do any design work.

Their prototype was steel. The rest are fiberglass. I've been to the Metricks (Doug's) shop and owned one of their fenders. They are definitely fiberglass. Slingmods should update their site.
Ill take your word for it, ebay dude is selling real cheap for a new fender even though you would have to paint. Its definitely either a metricks or an exact copy
-
Slingmods list the material as steel
-
Metricks fender is fiberglass.
I thought they were metal... My Mistake
-
?.... hope the rip offs haven't started this soon
When i first saw it i was thinking it was a used metricks, but then saw fiberglass and was wondering about being a copy. Bracket even looks similar from what i can tell. Maybe metricks will see this thread and make a comment
-
Does Metricks make a fiberglass version? or does this just look really really similar?

Hey @Tripod I stayed in deming a few years ago when I was attending a class for FEMA for bombing response ... Had to drive to playas every day for classes

If you ever make out my way, I'll hook you up with some great local stuff.
I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago on the SS .... Next time I make a run there I may detour on over your way

Haha tripod can turn anything sexual ..... My kind of guy
The kolsch is really more for my girlfriend ... And th blu berry kolsch I made is in bottles and really more for friends .. I'm more of an IPA guy and will start another batch as soon as I can make it by the brew supply and pick up the grain -
I do some pilot batch developing with a local brewery for their taproom in my spare time. Just did a Berlinerweiss with Pineapple and Mango. Turned out incredible.But I work for a distributor as a Draft Specialist.
Corney kegs are great for a home brewer.
that's awesome ....
Local brew supplier here got a bunch of ball lock corny kegs a while back and sold them for $45 each so I went and got 4 lol -
so are you guys brewing your own or buying kegs?
I brew my own and use Cornelius kegs. Right now I have a Kolsch and a blueberry Kolsch in the kegerator and have a liberty cream ale Im racking over to secondary fermenter this weekend
