gaging some interest

[DesmoDreamer]

this is posted on the DML and Hoosier Hooligans so you may have seen it already, if not hope you are interested.


So i dont know is there will be alot of interest in this or not but i am going to through it out there to gage on if it is worth doing or not!

ok enough about that here it is!

I would rather not chop the tail on my monster, one because of warrenty, two because i have a fairly rare model and three because i like being able to return things to stock. My boss has recently aquired a job shop that make fiberglass parts and we just ordered a 3D digitizer.

once again i digress, so i was thinking about digitizing the beer tray, shortening it about 4" and getting rid of the ears from the turnsignals, and having it made out of fiberglass. It would still have a stock look to it but be much shorter and intrusive.

there may be the possibility or some kevlar or CF in the future.

All in all i need to know wow many wouldbe interested in an idea like this, any other ideas of are appreciated also!!

thanks

I would of been intrested if I hadn't already chopped my tail

I'd have to disagree that a tail chop would affect your warranty.  I'm pretty sure nobody has ever been denied a warranty claim because their tail was chopped.

Good luck with your project.  Hopefully it will look great.

I woulda been interested too. But alas I'm trayless. I would take a moment to point you towards an extremely attractive design if you were looking for input though. Dusty from the NMMR section has a Senna S2R, I don't know if it's a "Senna" beer tray or something she found else where but it's bar none the coolest one I've seen. Send her a pm she's a sweety and I can't see her having a problem with sending you a pm.... I can't find a good pic online to post.

My tail is stock - no chop.  Am going to keep it that way.

I think the tail chop does look good on the monster, but if you are a big dude like me, it only makes the bike look puny under you.

Also, I think the designers in Bologna are not complete idiots - if you look at the beer tray from the side it does flow well with the profile of the monster.

And the CF beer trays are cool IMO.  If only i could squeeze more money out of the grocery budget . . .

I'm interested at long at it's not at DP prices.

I don't plan on chopping my tail. I am very interested.

I have seen a CF piece like this on one of the Euro sites.

Curious what model, tricolor?

maybe you should try to incorporate a liscence plate holder into it, might be cool.

I think i might have read the directions wrong and chopped a little too much?

Now that may void a warranty :-)

I cannot drop the beer tray I use it daily....

Even parked in the barn it is handy....


Holy crap you cut it to the quick.... did it bleed?

Sounds interesting . Looking forward to some photos when you have it finished.   Dolph

Last fall, Ducati Seattle told me my warranty would be voided if I chopped the tail on my '07 S4R.

On what grounds?
