Title: What happened to ARC fabrication?
Post by: A.duc.H.duc. on May 14, 2008, 06:45:01 AM
Their web site is down.

http://www.arcfabrication.com/ (http://www.arcfabrication.com/)

I'd be really disappointed if they went under, I was hoping to build a 2v air-cooled race bike out of one of their frames.

Anyone have any contact?

There was some discussion a few months ago now on TOB that they had stopped production.  So.. you're probably out of luck

IIRC someone said that he was moving or something but that was a while ago. I wish they were still around too, I wanted to pick up one of his flat under tail exhausts when i  got my bike.

Doug Cook, the man behind ARC Fabrication, moved to West Virginia last summer.  He has not been heard from since.  It is rumored that he was eaten by the locals.

'Tis a shame too....I feel fortunate to have his reverse cone megs on my bike....the sound is tremendous and workmanship is top-notch....I hope he is well

Doesn't Nate (ducpainter) know him?  Maybe he has a line on him.  Doug refunded my money on an undertail exhaust for the S4R, but I still want the exhaust.

I do....

Doug worked out of my barn after he lost his space at BCM.

I thought the space here was too small....he was happy enough with it.

He moved last August.

I haven't heard from him since just before Thanksgiving.

I hope he's OK.

He's a good friend.

I hope he starts up again too. He never had the time to do an undertail for my SS.
