OMF Seat Knob Brackets Interest Needed!
« on: October 09, 2013, 09:38:46 PM »
OK, I emailed OMF Peformance about what the stance was in making another run of these again. There was a thread on this on the "other" site awhile back but I am making a thread here about it. Daraugh "Bones" Flynn emailed me back saying they have a total of 12 names including mine people who are interested.They need a total of atleast 50 Names in order to make another run of these. Now its fine to list here that your interested, but if your serious about it, CALL THEM! Tell them your full name and info so that they know that your interested! I am going to spread the word on .net and .org sites because I definitely want to purchase on these brackets. So again, if your interested, call OMF at 951-354-8272 or email Bones. His email is [email]bones@omfperformance.com.

I have 4 different styles of the OMF knob. I sent one to Douglas but he did not get anyone to make them. I think all we need is the simple one. I can send one but I think the members should make a decision which one they want.

I didn't know OMF made 4 different styles of knobs.....Which ever is the most popular style, If I had something to go buy I'd be happy to make the first one on the house.

pumashine could probably make his own version that would resolve all issues.

Wasn't there a suitable knob found already, I thought just the base needed to be made?

John, it is more of a machine shop job. Just need a lathe. Drill and tap the center hole. It gets a bevel shape of the rubber. Parted and then some like the pin holes for fastening them so they don't get lost.

I was actually talking to a shop that is local to me yesterday about making this as well as some other parts.
He has a HAAS CNC lathe and a Mill. Also has a laser table and water jet as well. He seemed interested in making some stuff.

Yes, you are right John. The OP is trying to get OMF to make another run. The knobs and the posts are the expensive part.

here is what the knob looks like:[ATTACH=CONFIG]2046[/ATTACH]
sorry for the bad pic.  this knob is an original OMF.  I believe all the other knobs that everyone is seeing are home made.  

Trx250r:  I sent you a PM.

Are those threaded? If so what is the thread size? How tall are they?
