We live in an era of incredible personalization and custom modding. Everywhere you look folks are taking making mass market products - hell, even niche market products - and tweaking them until they are their own unique one of a kind personal objects. So awhile back when two of my old school buddies started a nifty new venture focused on custom laser engraving for tech type products such as iPods, iPhones, Laptops, and pretty much anything else with a flash card, I got to wondering if the same slick technology could be applied to motorcycle parts. A couple of calls and an eBay auction later, a run of the mill OEM Ducati Clutch Cover was transformed into a one of a kind part by DeviceNineSix.
The process they use is fascinating - after seeing it in person, all I’ve got to say is ‘wow’ - check out the YouTube vid below to see it for yourself - but basically you send them any image file in just about any format (i.e. jpg, tiff, psd, etc.) and they mock it up on your part, then once you sign off on it, they etch it. Lightning quick and rather inexpensively. Depending on how detailed the design, a clutch cover like the one above will run you $30 to $45 bucks. Considering that the cover itself cost me $9 on eBay, that’s a pretty cheap one of a kind mod in today’s world…So if you’re interested check out the DeviceNineSix Website or their new shiny company blog.
