    Alum. Triton grip panels

    For some reason I keep thinking I've seen a pair of curved Alum. grips made to fit the Triton. Anyone have a pair or make them? Just had another wicked idea, Carbon fibur?

    Im not aware of anyone making them. I had a heck of a time finding any triton panels that I liked. It was one of the reasons I sold mine off a few years back. Even the ones from SPD kind of sucked IMO. Maybe if enough people asked Luke would make some up?

    I am in the same boat with my logic umf...but if you get him to make them for the triton I'd definetly pick up a set.

    I believe RPG had some in the plans. Or atleast I think I remember them. Cant say I have ever seen any in the wild.

    Wrap around grips look better.

    Dye stickies if you have to.

    I prefer the old System X wrap arounds if you can find some.

    RPG (a.k.a. Rouge factor) offered alum. grips for the Chimera frame( my next unicorn hunt) but not the Triton. So I guess we'll need to rouse the owners of Triton's and see if we could get Luke to do a run. I'd like a set that follows the rear curve of the frame , straight along the bottom with the finger curve at the lower front then straight up the front to the bottom of the rail and just kinda squared off to blend with the backstrap. This description probably makes no sense. I guess I'll have to mock up some out of cardboard and go from there. It would be very cool to be able to have anno'd grips with Luke's offerings of engraving.

    I would love to do a run. We could 3D machine the face with a nice curve and ule the back even do optional engraving. Most of you know the drill by now, I would have to pre-sell 25 sets. I have no desire or rather I know better than to stock them.

    I'd be in for a pair. Already inquired Luke about them recently. I'll stand back and hope this ship sails

    Love the profile of the panels, however the skull is backwards, it should face the front.

    I thought I wanted some panels to follow the curves of the frame but now seeing the mock up I think I would like the panels to looks just as the stock panels that come on the frame, that hump on the front looks kind of weird IMO...

    Once you mentioned it I looked at the mock up and trimmed them a little, I'm talking with KNM at the moment about Printing a pair. So I should have a set to show off the design soon.

    I'd be in for a pair, and if the price is right, maybe even 2

    reviving this again...

    IF these panels could made like the Chimera's (meaning that they'd be milled on the inside in order to make space for a sleeper setup) I'd take two pairs...

    Any chnace of this happening?
    I'm assuming Luke won't do it as we're far from the 25 minimum, but would someone else be abel to step up and do this?
