How about some MTC Aluminum rods ( which are in mint condition ) and a little $$ to go along with it ?

I have a friend who has a set of these cast aluminum side covers on his turbocharged CB750. I do believe they were made by Magnuson ( Supercharger manufacturer ). I have tried for years to get them but he wont part with them.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2014, 11:58:35 AM »

Pfffssst. I can make those. How many people want them and for how much? I had actually started doing some for the cb550f. Pics....in one of my threads...?

How much ?

BLUE71TURBO · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:11:02 PM »

Are those sand casted or hammered out of a sheet of aluminum

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2014, 05:21:37 AM »

Mine was cast aluminum.
I could probably do them for$250-$300 a set?? Straight castings w/ light cleanup. Customer has to polish....

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2014, 06:41:29 PM »

.....and that is why I am not making them. Ha.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2014, 04:43:16 AM »

Yah, they not cheap to make, just sold my used set for $200.00. Need some hi/po rods!

So my offer wasn't good enough ? Wish i would of known that $200.oo was all it would take to get those covers.

I'll keep looking.......

I dont think 250-300 is bad, just wont sell in big numbers..

Parkwood60 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2014, 12:57:44 PM »

I have one, the oil tank side, and have been looking fr the other side for years. Cycle X sells them (I thought, can't find them now on their site) and Singh makes hammered aluminum one out of India via Las Vegas or something.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2014, 04:42:25 PM »

OK. How much is a reasonable price for a set or single side cover cast from alloy.?

Jon, would rather have taken yours, but he emailed me before you posted.....damn, oh well, guess he's happy! Just told Sam, I wished I'd known, Bill

or send them up and have them copied out of carbon fiber from the guy that I bought all of my stuff from
much lighter than cast or formed Al.
