FLM Bulkless is made out of 6061 aluminum, which costs about half as much as 7075 aluminum, which is what VBS is made out of.

FLM 6061 bulkless: $180 ------------- If it were 7075 alum, it would cost about $360
UE 7075 Towerless VBS: $337 -------- If it were 6061 alum, it would cost about $168.50

On top of the, the UE vbs is lighter, has easy access diffs, captures the hingepins, uses larger screws to hold the skids on, and improves suspension geometry. The fastlane bulkless does none of this.

Also, the VBS comes with titanium skids, and bumpers I don't see that stuff with the fastlane bulkless.

Now which one is overpriced?

Uhhhh how bout the production model is nearly 3 and a half years over due ??? Thats a problem if you ask me biker...

All im sayin is for a fraction of the cost you can get a durable st-r,lsp,crt and have parts avalabile everywhere....
