It's going to be covered by the ECU, and hidden under the tank.  Leave as is, and get the show on the road!

Like the way you think!  Keeping it same.  Order being placed Friday.

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

DucatiTorrey:  If you think you will have money, as I have stated in this thread before, I would advise spending $50 on the bracket now and saving up.  We likely won't do another run of these, so you will be on your own or at the mercy of another manufacturer selling a complete package- there isn't one selling one now.

I think the cutout should be for maximum weight savings (see below)  or not at all. I am fine with leaving it as is or whatever is easier. But, if there are any among us who want the lightest thing possible, they should speak up.


I vote for leaving it alone and just get it done. My intake kit should be here this week so I am already chomping at the bit.

No.   No union jack on the mostró.  Even if it is hidden

Probably not. This has been a lot of work for the two of us with full time jobs and other commitments. Especially since we aren't making any money off of it. However, later on down the road, if one still have not been released by TPO, waspworks, ducshop, or any of the other companies, and the demand is high, we might put together a small install kit. However the price will be more than it is now... The price of $50 is basically at cost.

Secondly, I would love to make this out of carbon fiber or some other lightweight metal... But, prices go up when that happens, and since this is a one time order, each bracket has to be the same, and everyone has different preferences of what they want to pay, we have to keep it simple.

If anyone has any experience with carbon fiber, I would love to hear some input or see about getting one made. But, I just don't have the knowledge in that.

Note to 1100 owners buying stack kits.

The HyperStacks come with the Marelli-sized-stepper/idel filter.  The idle/stepper motor piping for the Siemens bikes (Hyper EVO, monster 1100(s)) is larger diameter, equal to that of the crankcase breather hose, so request kits with 2 of these larger filters/adapters, rather than the 3/4" and small filter.

Other option, is to insert the bottom of the smaller filter into the stepper motor hose, and tighten around the stepper hose to hold on.  I ended up doing this after realizing it didn't fit the other way, and wanting to get a ride in (ziptied ecu and starter to the frame going around the block.  So far so good

I just realized this again when I received my stacks, and had forgot to mention the sizing of the idle motor tubing!

Good Info!


The orders are in and we expect them to be done early next week at which point we will package them and ship to all who requested one.  Thanks everyone for your patience!

I am glad you mentioned this. I would have been upset if I started the install and found this out by suprise. I am ready for this bracket now. My intake kit showed up this weekend.

Since you can place the little filters end into the hose for the stepper its not so big deal. Not a problem to get as is,  just can be done better

Any more news on these? "Early next week" has come and gone. Not complaining, just asking.
