AUddicted Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 A few weeks ago I had this grandiose idea of designing and selling a cover for the new 7000. During this time of working on it and shelling out $, I've learned there are 2 others working on a cover as well. The company I had do the sewing felt it would cost $85/ unit so I gave them the go ahead to make one then decide if I like it, and if they truly could produce them for $85 each. Well after it was done she charged me $110 and said she can't beat that price. So I really don't think I'm going to try to compete with the other guys and produce these. Oh well, at least I have a cover. The back was left open to let heat out. I do have another idea, about producing a real high end cover. It would be a real high quality fit, have a rubber foot sewn to the bottom, have a "tactical/ military" look and quality, a more heavy duty cordura nylon material, just plain "cool". It would also have a velcro removable pouch for the wireless module to be stored- either when in use or for just when its not in use. But it would cost over $200. I know most people would buy the less expensive covers but I'm wondering if there might be a smaller but decent market for this higher end cover? I mean this is a $10,000 machine. I would appreciate your thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looks pretty good but needs full coverage in the back too. I have no need for a pouch either but some guys do. I think what someone should be working on is a better armrest strap for the GPZ. Something along the lines of what Eureka Worx sells for the GPX. The one that comes with the machine is a joke. And what kind of coil you got there on your GPZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karathound Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I ordered this one several weeks ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281674146159 Can't comment on quality yet as it hasn't arrived yet. They got updated measurements on the GPZ, so it was delayed a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
