The plan: Fit clip-ons above the top triples.

Cool  8)

I recently modified my IMA top triple because of an issue which you may soon experience:
It seems like the U-bracket holes will be lower than stock position. That can become a problem for some.

Glad you liked them. I will experience this problem, but in this case the problem is part of the plan. I also wanted to lower the fairing / instrument cluster for, well, cosmetic reasons. I just think that part of the bike is too high, I want a more hunch-back look over the tank.

Yup - really like them [thumbsup]

If you're going to keep the fairing, I think you need to cut, shorten and reweld the U-bracket below all the ears and tabs.... Is that how you see it?

Yes, that's exactly the plan. Let's see how it works out.

Progress is slow, but at least there is some:



There's an awful snakepit of cables and wires behind the headlight, and not much to do about it really.

Actually, most of the Duc wiring is an awful mess, really....someday I'll re-do the whole thing   >:(

I had that problem of the pegs not going all the way into the U bracket, annoying.  But they went in far enough to keep things from rattling around, so I left it as is.... Not the best solution, but it works

Well, I don't really know how to go about to actually put them on the market, especially not "over the pond". A 53 mm version (for SBK Showas on a Monster, presumably ...?) would probably not be a problem. Price is always a problem, however, with small production runs like this. I think we had 7 pcs. made and the cost sans state involvement was somewhere around the equivalent of USD 350 - USD 400 apiece.

Thanks. And, yeah, prices are a bit different over here. On the other side, for a production run of 7 pieces it's maybe not that bad either ???  And I won't run into too many that are the same ;D
And my sense of what's expensive and what's not has certainly changed since I got into Ducatis  [roll]

Well,
glad you like them. This batch was made on order so they are all sold.

It has not been planned to make them generally available since we don't have that kind of organization (production, logistics, suppose one needs bullet-proof legal coverage or something as well).

As you can see a few posts above the cost of the small batch production run here (in Sweden) results in prices at your end that throws everyone but the most enthusiastic off .... maybe with a partner at your end...?

Kind regards.
