Sooo just thinking about this - I didn't realize they would be lighter... Is it possible that this could effect performance in a negative way? (the same reason I will never use an aftermarket UDP?)
UDP's aren't bad because they're lighter, they're bad because they don't have a harmonic balancer on them, but you do raise a good point.

:lol: Though to be honest 210GBP is still a good price, Leos modified oems cost more than that! But correct Solo it is indeed approx 210USD :)

Currently only 10 sets is correct. If we get to the stage where it looks like we need more that may be possible. We really need to get to the stage where this is approved so I can find out how many people are serious in the form of $30 deposits and colour selection. However we have 10 people on the seriously interested list, so in theory we are all catered for.

Onlytrueromeo is correct. The issue with UDPs is the lack of harmonic balancer. These new pulleys will likely be of better balance than the OEMs. The fact that they will be lighter is not going to be an issue, only a good thing, by reducing the load on the bearings beside the pulleys. You can liken this losing of weight closer to a lightweight flywheel, safe, free-er reving, except less pronounced/noticeable of course.

On the upside the deposit has been paid so we aren't really losing time, but we still have a lead time of 3-4 weeks. Great to have you on board, it's all in the hands of CDF now :)

It has begun!
What a tasty pile of metal :D For now 10 sets shall be made. Those on the list already will get priority opportunity to buy a set in the event more than 10 sets are wanted. However if there are people left wanting these, I can see about doing another small run, I can't guarantee the same amazing price though. Exciting times! Hopefully Jeff will authorise the GB soon, and I can start taking the $30 deposits and people colour choice. Then we will know who's getting in on the run of 10 :)

Nice, these are gonna be sweet. So what kinda color options/choices are we looking at here? Can you provide us a list of colors for the inner metal and outer ring?

That's ok, I won't be too quick to write anyone off the list :)

I know :D Currently the order is to have the toothed ring hardened, therefore becoming that charcoal/black colour seen in some of the example photos. I could enquire whether some can be left unhardened so they could be annodised, but cannot confirm at this stage. It may be a complication we should avoid, but I'm not saying no yet either. The choice for centre parts are:

BLUE
RED
SILVER
PURPLE
GOLD
BLACK
