Hi,
Those of you who followed my thread about my custom rear rack have shown alot of interest so I've put together this group buy. Deadline to sign up is 4/22!!
With no reliable ETA on the Porsche rack in sight, and issues and complaints that users have had with the Porsche unit, I had my rack quoted and have details below for anyone that wants to purchase the same setup.

Hi,

With no reliable ETA on the Porsche rack in sight, and issues and complaints that users have had with the Porsche unit, I had my rack quoted and have details below for anyone that wants to purchase the same setup.
The details are as follows:
- Includes 2 fully assembled extension bars, anodized black, stainless steel hardware, and plastic finishing caps. Bars are 32" long, 3" longer than my prototype for added clearance to car.
- Includes 2 1up roof tray racks with 1up hardware for universal mounting as well as hardware that will bolt on the extension bars flush, as pictured.
- Load rating for the rack is 75lbs per bike. 3.1" tire width limit.
- Expected shipping June 3rd.
- $955 including shipping with $500 deposit once minimum 10 people have signed up.
- Outside continental US we can sort out shipping rates separately.
The timeline I want to stick to to get your racks to you by early June is as follows:
4/22: If 10+ orders are confirmed, I'll provide instructions to send me the $500 deposit by venmo/paypal/zelle. I'll place the order for the 1up racks and the extension bars as soon as I get 10 deposits which may be before this date.
5/3: 10 day lead time for machining. Should have pics of the bars in process and ready to ship.
5/31: 4 week lead time for shipping extension bars from China. My wife was kind enough to use her factory contacts to set this up with a trusted machinist. Exhausted efforts to find a machinist in the US but our supplier will be lower cost and overall lead time about the same as reputable shops stateside. I'll also be doing some small machining work for the locking pins in the US.
6/3: Packed and shipped out of California. Before this point I'll be getting your balance and shipping address.
6/10: Delivered around this time via Fedex Ground.
