We are doing the tribal gab bar but have not gotten to the storage box yet. http://www.jdscustoms.com/product/yamaha-banshee-tribal-rear-grab-bar/ Quote
do-work-son Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Wasn't he making a fuel cell in place of the storage box as well? Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ban99 sent me the parts to be designed for production. I am paying him a portion as they get ordered I have sold like 4 of the grab bars in a year so it really isn't paying off for anybody yet lol Quote

I'm sure the guy with the foot peg Bunjes is getting the same deal. At $200 per tribal grab bar in raw I'm guessing between four spoons in the pot for idea, designing, sending out for production and getting drop shipped it will take a few to start making a profit. Good looking out though for keeping the banshee scene fresh with custom parts and ideas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

The bottom line is that for the most part, this i a hobby. I get a lot of enjoyment offering cool shit for our community of people. I make $10 profit on that grab bar after shipping. Yea... If I made 10pcs it would be better but I am not going to keep 2 yrs inventory lol. Would I like to grow 5x as big and make a living doing this? U damn right. Just gotta keep working at it, this market is tough. Quote
willaduncan Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Holy hell $200 bucks for a grab bar???!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If we get a group buy of 10 people or so, could prob do $130 one piece, and paying for all of the setup time for each operation is insane. Tubelaser = $100/hr, Welding = $55/hr, laser = $100/hr, CNC brake press = $60/hr. Time in each one of these adds up. Quantity is key with fabrication so you can amortize the setup of each operation over the quantity orders. 1pcs manufacturing is costly. Grilles, for instance, are laser only. Not too bad. Hence I can offer them for $45 on a one piece run qty. Quote

So if we get 10 people together by the time I'm ready to order one awesome, if not I guess I will be paying full price. I guess what I'm saying is count me as 1 and we will see where it goes. Quote

I doubt we will ever get 10 people. 2 week turnaround if you order one today. Everyone that has spent the money on one has been very happy. Quote
