Default Machined parts suggestions.

To cut a long story short, i have a mate with his own engineering / toolmaking company, 4 blokes plus himself.
They have CNC millers and lathes.
Its only in idea stage atm but im thinking of getting into machined parts /accesories for bikes, he has seen his work dwindle a bit due the automotive sector taking a nosedive so i spoke to him about expanding his horizons.
I would do design work in regards to CAD and sell them, he would machine the parts and take care of all that.
Question i would like to ask, what is there a shortage of in terms of bits to modify your bikes.
Things suggested so far is
Wheel spacers,
Brake caliper brackets (ones that actually fit and enable you to fit bigger discs and calipers?
My idea, gear and brake levers with a designed to break area so that the right angles bits can be replaceable.
Rear sets, but more affordable.
Yokes.

For all you modding your bikes any suggestions welcome, maybe even some guinea pigs wanted.

Thanks
Phil
