This guy wants one of these on ever kid's desk. I say, every motorcyclist should have one in the shop. Imagine the possibilities for custom brackets, etc. No more will Touratech be able to charge $200.00 for a simple windshield bracket/GPS bar.

The parts would be plastic, granted, but still . . .

That would be very nice to have.
Endless possiblities with X,Y, and Z being expandable.

Who cares if its "only" plastic. With a workable prototype in my hand and someone with either a CNC machine or machinist lathe I'd be in business.

That's cool but it would never do for me.
I'd disappear into the shop and never come out, not even for the divorce hearing!

Look at these...
