    Need them for both sides on my 550 seca. Paint doesnt matter, just need them physically in good shape.

    I noticed you hadn't trimmed out the hole for the seat lock yet.

    Are they going to have the correct mounting "ears" and "pockets" like the originals, or is mounting going to be a challenge left to the customer?

    The pockets and holes are trimmed out.

    Truly magnificent. How did you handle the mounting ear and the one front "pocket?"

    I have given up on this idea of making replicas for bikes as there is just no interest or market for them.. Actually truth be told a good waste of time and effort..

    Don't believe that for one minute. There's a market, especially for the 550 Seca; but it will be a SLOW market.

    They're not exactly gonna fly off the shelves. You might hang onto your molds, and either do them "to order" or develop a "reservation system" whereby you take deposits until you have enough for a "batch." Kind of like how Norton is currently trying to build bikes.
