696/796/1100 Airbox Eliminator Bracket for Pod Filters/ Velocity Stacks <-- LOOK

[2-Skinny]

Whew, just finished reading all 10 pages of this thread. Count me in if you figure out a coil mount solution. (Charcoal canister removed)

PM DoWorkSon if you are interested to get in on the list, we will likely only be doing 1 batch and the final order will be placed in a week or so.  There IS a solution to mount the front coil, don't let that deter you.  We will actually be working on a solution today and will have some pictures to give you an idea of options you have for that front coil.

UPDATE:

Today, 2-skinny and I worked on mounting the coil. Due to the length of the wire/connector, you are pretty limited in where you can mount it... So, here is what we came up with...





Basically, there is a bracket on at the front right part of the frame, which I believe was for the charcoal canister.

We simply cut a bracket out of steel strips you can buy at most hardware stores, drilled some holes, and secured it(this is the metal strip with the three bolts in it, the other one mounts the horn and rectifier).

To mount the coil flush on this strip of metal, we used some tubular metal spacers, that can be found at any hardware store. The coil is not flat on either side, so mounting it to a flat surface is impossible. The spacers raised up the mounting points on the coil in a sense, so everything could be evenly mounted across the surface of the metal strip.  Tightened down with some bolts... and done.

Sorry for crappy picture quality, in a dark garage. But, it seems to work and nothing comes into contact with the coils or bracket.

Hyperstacks ordered today. 

Hopefully this weekend I'll tear the airbox out, and get them installed, and coils taken care of.

and then when the brackets are done, ready to run.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!

Got the model for the bracket today...

Seen here.



This is just the base model. The final design will have a center design cut out and will be powdercoated black..

Took it home to get a fit and.... just about perfect!

Needed one minor adjustment on the right side mounting point, but other than that... Fit perfectly.

Without bolts/sitting freely in bike



With the battery tray bolted in



ECU hooked up and wires installed

The fabricator forgot to bend the small arm that holds the starter solenoid however, it will be bent in final production... Still going to look like this..



I plan on placing the order this week. So far, price is at $50 for a powdercoated black final product. Anyone who has been on the fence about it, your last chance is slowly coming up!

i sure do like the maltese cross for many reasons but i do not feel it jives with the Ducati marquee. just my opinion, many love it - i know there's a billet clutch cover like that from Motowheels, and for a long long time SpeedyMoto had the little billet alt-cover available with just such a design.

I agree. I was just playing around with different designs and drew that. It could easily be changed to something more ducati-ish.... Anyone have any ideas??? I mainly wanted the center cut out to provide cooling to ecu(does it warm up being used???) and to cut down on weight. Not dead set on it, and I can make it just an open hole or something.

How about....?

i would just cut out the dynamic D logo. really big dynamic D
any idea when final notice might be before ordering?

[mattc7]

I'm fine the way it is.  I don't think it's necessary, however I'm all for lightness.

No one will see it (besides the installer and/or mechanic, so the design isn't too important, is it?)

This week. I plan on putting in final # of units to be made by Friday. Everyone who has put in deposits has been so patient so I don't want to wait any longer... Plus, I wanna get mine installed ASAP and start riding as well!

[2-Skinny]

I don't think the "Maltese Cross" look of the cut out was intentional per-se.  As DoWorkSon said, it was just messing with designs and that option offers strength and weight savings, and airflow.  At this point, it may be best to just live with it especial since you won't really see it and it could be more cost associated with a diff. design...

[Veloce-Fino]

Looking GOOD!

[DoWorkSon]

Oh yeah...

We also installed Air filters, tank, and all wiring.... and everything fits perfectly... .. So no issues with clearances

[2-Skinny]

Considering this as a possible cutout design:




But may just go with a "circle" to make life easy.  Again, seriously not going to see it after you install...

Thoughts?

i may be interested later this summer, just cant afford the whole package right now. anyone considering going in on another run later?

I think if the fabricator already has the machines setup as is, it is silly to change something that doesn't need changing.  It's going to be covered by the ECU, and hidden under the tank.  Leave as is, and get the show on the road!
