I've bought quite a bit of stuff from AirTech....they freakin blow...I avoid them at all costs these days. Unless they have something I absolutely can't get anywhere else. Their products are of marginal quality also...not the worst I've seen, but pretty crappy.

I used buy that AirTech stuff...IN THE OLD DAYS...before I found guys that do much better work. With the initials....MATT.

I got all Tannermatic on both the race bikes now. Super secret experimental items.

Why...cause he's one of my sponsors.

Geets,
Tannermatic is just our ball busting name for products made by our own Matt Tanner (aka Monkey on this forum).
He's a fellow racer and excellent glass/CF guy...it's his profession. He ain't cheap...but he'll do one off custom stuff of great quality. I can't speak about his street parts cause I've never ordered any...but his race parts are the lightest and strongest stuff I've used.
Off hand I'd say his prices are on par with AirTech..but quality is much better. And unlike AirTech...if you have the time and money he'll sometimes replicate your parts in glass. Which I assume is a tremendous pain in the ass since you have to make molds etc.

Matt.....ever been by Frank's shop?

He can make you anything dude...anything. About a dozen big ass CNC machines. If he wasn't thinking money....think trade. Alloy fork clamps, a slew of replica rear set parts. He can't be expecting them for free...I'm sure he knows how much work it is...and messy, unhealthy work too.

These old timers are cagey devils....you gotta talk price before anything else

Matt,
I had no idea it had gotten that serious.
You know we're all pulling for the both of you.

Great....my fuckin back hurts all the time now days.

Thanks for planting that thought in my head.
