lol, I don't think my time is worth what I'd ask to do this for other people. It's not that the total cost is that high, it's just a giant pain in the butt. My mounting plate is ugly as hell, and no matter how accurate and careful you are with the laser cutter and drilling holes, unless your aiming hardware is PERFECTLY in the right spots, you end up having to enlarge the projector mounting holes so you can correct any rotation that your error added. So every headlight I did wouldn't be as simple as just making duplicates and piecing headlights together for sale; every single one would be special and would take time...

I'm not saying no, but I just don't want this to be a job. It's fun when it's a hobby for your own bike, it seems like it would be tedious and time consuming if it were for pay. Not to mention, customers can be very particular about what they get so if it's not perfect, it's a rework. And there's always the potential for moisture issues down the road, etc etc
