After hearing how well these perform above competitors I've popped into Luxon's shop and took a peak behind the office. I can't wait to get my hands on some for my FE501
Most stock clamps are forged (stronger than cast), but sometimes the top clamp is cast. The tolling costs for that is really expensive and not friendly to design changes over time. OEMs can do it as they're making tens of thousands of clamps. But the aftermarket companies can't afford the tooling investment for the smaller sales numbers. CNC machining is a much better process for aftermarket companies and allows for low up-front costs and relatively easy design changes. Machining also allows different features in the clamps that can't be cast or forged (overhangs, undercuts, etc.), so you can end up with a superior part, but it comes at a higher cost.

Why isn’t a company making cast versions for like $399 just sayin
Because that wouldn't be much of an upgrade from stock
@@colbymullaney9908 idk what you mean you can adjust the rake and offset and still maintain oem flex that most desire
@@CSPEED570 it’s from Bud Racing! They sell them in different colors and MMs
