| I am hoping to hear back from the plating company tomorrow, I talked to them a week ago and they said the bases were still in polishing.
Have faith is all I can say and Christmas should be brighter due to the arrival of new chrome!

| Okay everyone, here is the latest:
I recalled the production run from the chrome plater because they hadn't even started the polishing on the pieces, I got the shipment back a week before Christmas.
The day the shipment came in I was notified that a very dear and close family friend had passed suddenly in Boston. I flew out that night and that is where I was until the Sunday before Christmas. After coming back and getting into the office on Christmas Eve I had to take care of many things that occurred during my absence from the business even though I was in contact with the office by phone and email. This past weekend my 76 year old mother, who is my father's caregiver and who has been in fairly good health, fell and suffered multiple breaks in her left leg, shattered her kneecap and broke her hip, the kneecap is able to be surgically repaired but she is going to have hip replacement surgery either Wednesday or Thursday this week. So, needless to say things have been a bit busy/rough for me in my personal life the past few weeks, that is not an excuse, that is a simple statement of facts.
Okay, so here is the good news!
I have talked to Jon over at Witchdoctor Customs and he will be handling the final finishing and distribution of this production run and all future production. I am also sending him all the emails and private messages from people who wish to purchase these fantastic looking tips.
I have decided that Mr. Wizards Billet Creations will only be a design and prototyping house concentrating specifically on products for Victory motorcycles and will no longer be a manufacturer due to the time constraints being put upon me by my rapidly increasing (we've had the best 4th quarter in the past 6 years) primary business of manufacturing the best cutting tools in the engineered wood products industry.

| I would like to publicly thank Richard for turning this project over to me and look forward to working with him in 2013.
Richard will continue to do prototyping and create some great innovative products that everyone will like. Witchdoctor's will take over all the manufacturing of the items from machining to packaging and see them through to a finished retail product. This agreement between "Mr Wizard" and Witchdoctor's shows the Victory community that vendors can work together for the betterment of the brand and still provide you, the customer, with top quality parts at an affordable price while maintaining the highest level of customer service available in the Victory aftermarket.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
My first goal is to get the tips out to everyone who wants a set. Once I receive them they will be sent off to polish and plating. If you have ever seen our chrome you know the quality is top notch and we even offer a 2 year warranty from flaking or pitting. And YES that is even on our exhaust tips!
My target date to have them ready is Feb 9th. As soon as they are ready I will post the prices and all the information on our website. I have a list of emails of people who already have inquired previously about getting a set. You will be contacted by me near the end of January as to give you first chance at getting a set. I do not know a cost yet until I can get my cost on chroming. I will do my best to keep the price the same as what Mr. Wizard was offering them at.
If you have any questions please email me at jwitchdoctor@aol.com and I'll do my best to provide you with an answer.
Thank You
Jon |

| Witchdoctors "Jet Style" exhaust tips for Vision and Cross Bikes.
Originally designed by "Mr Wizard" these tips are a sight to behold. A solid chunk of billet aluminum is machined into this master piece to resemble a jet engine. Two style are available, black with contrast cuts and triple show chrome so you can choose the style you like. They bolt on with the same bolts used to hold on your stock tips and work with all stock and Witchdoctors mufflers.

| Jon, great job in the finishing, the contrast cut looks fantastic!
One thing though, I DID NOT design these tips, that honor goes to Bluto, also a member of the board here, I was only going to manufacture them and distribute them, due to my primary business picking up so much in the last 5 months that honor now goes to you and you look to have things well in hand!

| Note, the only change I made on these was to blunt the point of the bullet a bit, I had heard back from a few people including a couple of my friends who had mistakenly bumped the tips with their shins that the bullets with just a little too pointy! LOL |
