anyone have experienc with knight design?

[BuckDWildass]

thinking about using picking up a full round of their axel sliders, lowered footpegs, and peg pins, shift/break leavers, bar ends, line clamps, and all the other detail pieces they make...hoping that sticking with the same mfgr for all these anodized parts & accent pieces will produce the best color match, but not sure if the overall product is worth the price. any reviews or suggestions?

Yes I have and they were 1st class. I ordered something wrong(my fault) and they exchanged it without any problems. Keep in my this was custom made to order parts they were exchanging.

 

[BuckDWildass]

WOW! don't hear of that much these days! [up] so overall, aside from the willingness to please the customer, how are their products? if I do order this massive handful of parts will the colors all be the same shade/hue? I got a white firebolt and am wanting to do blue anodized pieces...do they match really well from one piece to the next?

Their blue color matches perfectly.

Their blue does match perfectly, however, I got the cover plates for the front brake and clutch master cylinders... I'm not sure what happened, but their blue faded and now it is a very light purple. I leave my bike parked outside while at work, but it was always garaged when I wasnt riding...anyone else have anything to say about this?

I have knight sliders. As far as levers go i like the ones from precision engineering a little better but thats just based on my personal preference. The people at knight are great and sell a good product.

This is likely just a side effect of anodizing in general, not poor quality on their part. These colors are more prone to fading in general. Even though Knight competes with us on some products, I can vouch for the high quality of their product in general. They make nice stuff. I'm running a set of their pegs on my bike right now.

I run their bar ends as does my girl. Top notch quality. Even shipped me new rubber for the inserts for free at my request.

 

[sickee]

Just got bar end weights for my xb and they match perfectly and great quality. Fast shipping too

 

[BuckDWildass]

HELLZ YEA!!! thanks for the awesome feedback guys!!! ill take a look at precision eng. and see if they have anything that I like, price comparisons, etc...but as for now, I am totally sold on the thought of getting a full line of knight's products! (in blue of coarse lol)

 

[bumati]

Great people. Top notch.

I would love to add a little protection to my Buell just encase but that puck for the 07 model is hideous I like the design they made for the 08 FI setup better. Hope everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Great folks over there at knight design. You'll see the pic of my gold sliders on their site. Perfect match.

 

[50dro]

Hope everyone knows what I'm talking about.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he's referring to OUR 5-0dro case sliders for the 03-07 XB's in which case (no pun intended ) this is the wrong thread to discuss them (good or bad). Go here if you want to discuss them...

 

[BuckDWildass]
