Pricey in your opinion...maybe, but they are not cheap to make. I tried getting the mounting rods manufactured once to save me some time in making them, but the 3 quotes came back between $60 - $80 per rod. That would have put my cost totally out of reach for each set. I priced my shipping costs a little high with expense of PayPal and supplies to save time and money running around. Local pickup $110. Here is what I have been telling everyone...
I am asking $135.00 for the set which includes the shipping. As for shipping, I just factored in one flat rate in the price to cover shipping everywhere in the USA, boxes, packing supplies and what PayPal will hit me for when they take out their cut. All that alone can be as much a $22.00 (maybe more) in the cost. I decided it is just to much of a pain to go to the post office and get rates for every destination so I covered the whole country. Out of the country (just one interested so far) I am doing the post office thing for those people. I figure by the time I have the plastic cut, buy the clamps retail, all the stainless screws and washers, aluminum, plus my time, I needed to sell them for that to pay for my time and material. I'm making nothing on the first 4 as I have spent that much designing and making them.
All of the screws are stainless steel with the exception of the nut that the clamping screw goes into. The deflectors were created by modifying an existing clamping product I found and combining it with some new parts I made or had cut for the project. Since they are hand made to some degree, they are not perfect like a mass produced product. With that said, you will find them very nicely made and very functional. Because the plastic pieces are laser cut the edges are now smooth and polished. If you message me your email I will send you a .pdf of the instructions I made up and a little more about them. I can send you a invoice through PayPal to your email if you decide you want a set. I hope this helps....Thanks for your interest...Phil
Here is one more picture of the first ones I made and installed on my first Rocket before it was totaled. The new version is very close in appearance with some improvements as mentioned above and in my original post. The fact is... they work by adding a little over 6" on each side to deflect wind around your hands.
