Delays, delays, delays. I've learned some very important lessons during this en devour. The majority of people are good and want to do what they are hired to do but some people are just "bad people." The guy that I hired to do my CAD work attempted to steal my designs. He first tried to patent them for himself and then tried to sell the designs to other companies. I went through a legal battle with him which had mixed results. He was ordered to cease and desist but he closed his office and took off to places unknown with my prototypes which makes it very difficult for the next CAD guy. We've managed to recreate them and my finished prototypes are just about done. Had to change my launch date for most products to January.
Then my website designer, a.k.a. my friend, told me he doesn't have time to work on it at all and bailed. I designed the website myself so if you see any bugs, just let me know. It was my first one.
www.AdvancedSportTouring.comI've also been working on several other products during this time frame.
I'm almost done with the passenger backrest which mounts to the luggage rack. It can even be used with a Givi E55 mounted.
Passenger drop brackets need a few more days in design.
A new way of mounting a ram ball completely separate from mounting on the risers are at the machine shop
I'm designing an economical tip-over protection right now. It shouldn't be too far out there.
Lots in the works right now. Everything is on the up-and-up these days now that I've found some quality people to work with. I'm still looking for someone with an '08-'09 non-ABS bike in the lower Michigan area to let me fit some parts. If you know someone, please let me know. I'd be happy to work out a deal with them.
