my shift knobs almost done. check out the design here.

i'm having these made up probably before march. if anyone is interested send me an im. not sure about prices yet but within a few days I will get a quote from the machinist. Once I can get enough of these sold I will be getting other stuff made. I just don't have enough capital investment to make everything right off the bat. preorders will get discounts. i'll post in here or make a new thread in hondamarketplace and other areas when I know more, .. thanks
oh yeah, they are aluminum, but if you want another material, that can be arranged as well as anodizing/powdercoating

I'm not making these for a business venture or anything, i just wanted to make parts, make a couple dollars to help me make other stuff and just be happy knowing I designed/made stuff someone has on there car. maybe someday i'll re-invent the wheel, but for now it's just a hobby i guess.

Yeah thats cool, props to you for doing it yourself. I'm just thinking it might be tough to sell them being that the market is flooded with a similar product thats already cheap as hell.
Good Luck though

it's a great idea and all, but probably not the best thing to try to make any profit on. unless of course you own a machine shop or are great friends with one.
I only say this because it's not anything original, if you were to say design it differently from every other oval **** out there, and have some nice unique properites, then you have an advantage over the mass produced ones.
please don't take this as discouragement of course, because i am all for making stuff yourself,

as for gear patters in top, probably not since it has a recessed groove for your thumb so getting that engraved would probably cost a lot. I can look into it though.
as for bike parts, probably sprockets, stems, barends, and maybe seat clamps, or some chain tensioners.
