No hype on this one?
This one is super cool too!
Man, tough crowd these days.
I've been a sporradic producer at best, but I've always felt is was a tougher crowd, than say 911 consumers who are ok with large markups.
There are a lot of people on a budget and ok with whatever they can get by on - in fact, on fb you see posts that seem to take pride in how little they can put into something to make it work.
I think some like quality pieces like you have, and have the money to reiumburse for the R&D. It seems like more money is abailable for collectable OE parts. For aftermarket parts and engine tunining, it really helps I think if you have a time-trusted name. 250R people I think in particular like go where other people go and have good results.
Another snag is ebay requiring your full SSN to sell now, or create a new ebay account with no feedback as an LLC or corp. I just won't give them my ssn, and sales of my wiring harness dropped to 0 after they pulled my ad. So marketing basically is a needed chore now. My belief though is that a good product should sell itself, but I think the reality is you need a way to show people what might solve their problem wihtout it seeming like you want something in return for the work. That attitude seems to capture people in general, maybe moreso for the budget oriented 250R rider, who is happy to use bailing wire in place of a seat latch.
I'm sure others have a clearer estimate of the crowd. Thoughts, anyone else?
I have this steel one. I painted it with clear spray paint so it wouldn't rust. AL seems like a nice selling feature, but the price might require a less than common customer, or find a way to sell the higher price, or reduce production expense.
