When I asked Bert about being a Sponsor of the XLForum he was kind enough to set us up. The requirement was that we provide good products and service, and pass savings onto XLF Members.

Our Twin Priorities are Quality High-Impact Products & Superior Customer Service.

All of our products can be seen at our website by clicking on the signature banner below.

We are happy to answer any questions, here on the forum, PM's, email (Kevin@DKCustomProducts.com) or by phone at 662-420-9796.

We will consistently run various Special Savings for XLF Members....just keep an eye on the DK Custom forum for the current Specials.


We are a small shop that grew from fabbing parts for our own bikes, to friends bikes and a couple years ago we opened the doors to the public and now have had the privilege of supplying parts for thousands of Customers World-Wide.

Dawn and I take care of Customer Support, Dawn also handles all the shipping.

Devin heads up manufacturing with his Team.

Devin (the D in DK) and myself (the K in DK) do the product development and testing. Yep, we get to ride as a business expense. :)

We know that most everything we build can be made in anyone's garage, fortunately our quality and reasonable prices make it easier for many to purchase from us rather than start from scratch themselves...leaving more time for riding too! :)

We are located in Red Banks, MS USA and all our manufacturing is done right here. The components/material we buy are USA origin whenever possible.

We also have a facebook page with some good resources and lots of pictures. If you use facebook we'd be pleased if you'd "Like" us.

I reckon that's a good picture of who we are, we appreciate the opportunity to be on the XLForum and to serve you.

I've bought several things from yall and over all I am very pleased with it. I have two minor issues. The first is the paint on my coil/ignition relocation mount is flaking. Powder coating might be more durable. A mini-texture would be awesome.

The second is that I could never get the ignition mounting screw to stay tight with the rubber isolator. Once removing the rubber isolator it stayed tight but I was concerned about the vibration prematurely wearing the key/tumbler. Your key relocation kit to the rear of the trans solved that problem for me.

thanks for making a good product. Makes me wish I still had access to my old machine shop.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Hey lostNdallas,

Thanks for the welcome AND your business.

We switched to Powder Coat early this year. If you want to send back the one you have we will replace it with a Powder Coated one, no cost.

Out of thousands of these installed we have not had one report of tumbler problems. I have had one on my sporty for over 20K miles and works the same as when I put it there.

The screw should stay tight with some medium blue threadlocker and if it is tightened down so the orange silicone is slightly compressed. If it doesn't the only thing I can think of is that the threads on the metal insert in the stock ignition housing are messed up.

Thanks man!

Ordered a key relocation - a refreshingly simple piece of hardware that will do a fine job, I'm sure. Sure has the looks! :banana

I will probably just buy another one since my bike never goes unridden for more than two days in a row. I have a powder goat guy here that does a mini-texture which matches the textured cases of my engine anyway.

As for the switch, after I removed the silicone pad is when I noticed the wear on the key and the switch was definitely getting notchy. I like the key location a lot better with the Flex-6 mount anyway.

thanks again,
John
