I got one. Will be going on the bike soon. It is extremely light and it doesn't have Ducati on it.  Evil

how does that compare to the Magnesium?

I'm sure the mag one is lighter. I don't like the mag brown though.

the coating is actually a paintable protectant for the very corrosive mag.

I have seen posts from proud owners of blinged-out polished magnesium...   laughingdp bang head  and other posts from frustrated owners wondering why their magnesium bits have turned into white powder and a pitted mess.  Aluminum is a nice compromise.

Yep. A little more robust than the stock unit, lighter, and better looking. A nice match to the other side's:

Speedymoto version:


BCM's Version:


I want this for the left side!
Beautiful piece of work.... cant wait to see it a pic of one fitted. The Evil One is whispering to me about a black anodised one......  So far my resistance is holding up pretty well  Wink

round 'bout $450-550
I need to find out where you shop.  Speedymoto lists it at US$579.95 >> http://www.speedymoto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=01-0200CLR&Category_Code=

I shop with our vendors here, sponsoring the board.

I try to shop locally more now, at AMS, when I can, but the dealership stocks very few non-Ducati or DP parts (they do stock EVR), so online I goes. As an example, you might look to DesmoWorks - Anthony was clearing out of their stock of SpeedyMoto parts, including some side cases, and also Motowheels members' discounts.
