LAST WEEK before PRICES GO UP... I'm sure this isn't the first of these threads you have seen recently 
Before the war in Libya even started our cost on materials (metal, plastic, etc...) went up THIRTY PERCENT!
Well, it just went up AGAIN and now shipping is also officially about 20% more expensive.
LONG STORY SHORT, I haven't updated prices yet because I simply honestly haven't had time. Some products I've still made a little on and some have actually cost me money (seat brackets I DID already raise because a few sets went out that cost me about $30 each after my cost had gotten raised and shipping was more).
Other sponsors have already updated but I haven't and the truth is I won't be able to until one week from today (I'm a full time actor and am in a play in Hollywood right now)...
SO, I was going to refrain from giving a warning but a place I bought a lot of motorcycle products did a "LAST WEEKEND BEFORE..." notice and I appreciated it so I figured I owed you guys the same. If I lose a little in this week it will even itself out by you guys wanting to come back to me later (I hope, lol)...
Don't ask what is going up because I honestly haven't sat down and figured it all out yet but 90% of it is so don't say I didn't warn you...
MOST of my products are 100% MADE IN THE USA (which costs more but I think is worth it) but the cost of materials is still hurting us across the board. If I had more than a 10% profit margin (7% after paypal) on most my products I could ride it out for you all but unfortunately I don't and can't... SO BUY NOW if you want to before the prices go up.
Thanks to all who support us...

Can't wait to get the duel exhaust valance I ordered!
And there's other stuff I want too! Just don't have the spare cash right now, mainly gauges & a whole new roof so I don't have to look at those hideous bubbles.
