Hi Dave,
Funny, some of us were wishing the same, but we never made R3 Mud molds in all the sizes (the team didn't need all of them). And all the other tooling (bonding jigs, etc.) was only ever intended for limited production, not hardened for series production. Knowing that, we would have been looking at too much money to put it into production as it sat. Plus we had a few ideas to make it better, which would have made the Mud a completely new bike...
Cheers,
