Who might be interested in a CHROME MAIDENHEAD ORNAMENT ? Price depends on qty so we need to get a feel for how many might be purchased. This is a wax image, and the mfg are ready to create the mold.  |

Sheesh, you sound like the Harley only repair shop that refused to replace a tire on my Valk!  (Sorry for the threadjack, that was just too easy, I couldn't pass it up!) Very cool looking. Just curious, I know price is dependent on quantity, but ballpark (Estimate)? Talking 10's of dollars, 100's? |

They will of course be CHROME and the price will be less than 100.
I would guess somewhere between $50 to 70 (this is just a guess)

Dag I assume that this price estimate does not include the cost of shipping from Norway? If the total cost shipped is no greater than $100 US then I would be interested in one. How would they attached to the fender...drilled and tapped and fastened with a screw? |

A hunnerd bucks fer a shiny thang ta put on tha front fender!?? That would be pretty essspppeeennnsssiiivvvvvveee fer a werkin' man.  (More feasible for a professional who is accustomed to spoiling his "fat lady.")   Depending on the price, I'd be interested. Toward the high end of $100, I'd be reluctant and would do several other things first.  Toward the $40 to $50 range, I'd probably buy myself a birthday present (I'll be saving for the next couple of months). Just my two cents worth. |

The Maidenhead Fender Ornament looks pretty cool and I voted for one. But scraping the internet tonight I found this: http://www.ricker.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=1323&ParentCat=351Hmmmmmmmm........ I have always liked the Gem 710 Flying Goddess but they are no longer listed on the Gem website and current vendors want $30-$40 more than what Gem had them listed for. |
