It would not be that hard to do, I just need a left and a right to copy certain dimensions from, and dream something up to hide them (coils) that looks like part of the motor.
Problem is the metal for that would be around $60.-$100. depending on the alloy and the size of the final design.
It would take a while to mill up the first set, and there may be some fixturing that would have to be built to make it quicker on any other parts being made.
The second set is always easier than the first set when your proving out programs and other things.
Its mostly allot of prep work and a small amount machine running time.
Checking and double checking things as your running each tool through.
I hate the ugly *** coils too!!!!

So far shipping to Texas was about $7 and to Illinois was $5.
I did not really notice a real diference in ride. Maybe slightly hitting freeway expansion joints and sharp bumps. The springs are quieter on mine because they are not poping and slapping like they could sometimes.
I've had mine on for a couple weeks now with no issue.
They helped with the stupid wheel hop I had at launch. Now it seems to lay rubber better off the line when you really put your foot in it hard. I also launched it in 4hi on a back road up to 95mph and had nothing strange happen other than the normal violence.
Too bad its all ice and snow here now, you never know when your going to hit an ice patch.
