Hello,
Most are wondering where we are moving (I will announce this soon) and what will become of Trail Tailor.
I have been a 60 guy for a majority of my cruiser addicted life. This is where my passions lie and where I will continue to commit most of my efforts. Focus will mainly stay on this series for bumpers, racks, sliders, skid plates and stocking aftermarket and maintenance parts. If a stocked 60 part happens to trickle over to another series, fine, but not my goal.
I miss building custom 60 cruisers and I will get back to doing this as well. Goal is 1-2 per year. One of which will come very soon. I also plan to acquire as much used 60 cruiser inventory as possible (well as much as Andrea will allow).
Trail Tailor was growing at a rate I almost couldn't keep up with and that was unacceptable to me. Some may think this is great and the sign of a successful business, and it is... but, I don't want employees or want to deal with the headaches they bring. Plus, when you add employees it cost the customers more money in the long run. I want to stay specialized in limited areas. So, the reigns are being pulled back.
Current plans are to get moved. Find a place temporarily (house and shop), buy property and build our new home and shop.

· Sliders and skidplates
