ReplyDeleteIt is in production. I hope to have the etched parts in hand in the next two weeks. We also have a 3d designer working on some of the brake system as 3d printed parts. The decals are complete and in house. Hopefully we won't have to do another round of etching and this can be ready for sale in September.
