Thanks for the heads up about this guy. I called my bank and stopped the payment of 125.00 on 2 stroke motor mounts just in time! Thanks again.
Homey, don’t play that…

I don’t think so. There was a 2 day delay (bought them on Friday) before I ordered the stop payment. In any event, I’m surprised and stoked.

Those don't look that bad to machine. Cut the bar stock and mill the edge square. Then drill and ream holes. Put the part in a laythe and bore out the center. I'd say 2 business days to get from the order to the mail, assuming its the only project in the shop.
Besides the laythe you could do this with just an angle grinder, belt sander, and a battery powered drill. Hell, it could be done without the laythe if you're good with a hole saw.
Hell...My motor mount was made with just hand tools like a metal cutting blade on a hand held power saw, hand files etc, including just a regular hand held power drill for drilling out the holes for the nut and bolt fasteners...lol.
The only thing I didn't have at my disposal was a bead blaster to give it a finished look, for that, it was brought over to White Sands Missile Range and bead blasted with their's...lol.
The finished product when I put it on the bike when I still had the Zeda 80 on it, now replaced with the P-85...Perfect fit on both...lol.

I don't even have a vise yet and have to hand cut carbon fiber or metal pieces...

A cheap vice is plenty. I sadly gave mine away because I have a 6in jaw vice. My 3 & 1/2 was much better imo.

Assuming all the fanciest machine tooling is used, I would say no more 4 hours from start to finish for a journeyman machinist but if done as a large batch (10 or 20) you could save a good bit of time.

I should start with a vise and then…(drill press?). What’s cool is that after many years without I now have my own garage.

I didn't have a drill press for a long time. They are nice to have, but you don't need one
