Racing bellypan group buy interest?

[Ben710]

Testing the waters for a mate of mine who is running a race fairing business.

We´re looking at making a batch of race bellypans for the Hypermotard. Price should be around 150-180€ incl. mounting brackets.

Is there any interest in these things? If so, raise your voice.

Carbon or fiberglass?

And does it work with the sidestand?

Anyone know how much in American dollars this equates to?

$217-$260 as of today.

Any idea if t will hold all the oil in case of catastrophic failure?

Looks very cool, I'd be interested.

Your friend and you sound like you would be good candidates for the "grass roots" foum, ie small vendors making limited production unique products.

Now that I look at the bike again, I really like the entire bike. Nice work!

Fibreglass with some kevlar where needed (mounting holes etc). Probably not working with a sidestand, since it´s a racing item.
Carbon is problematic because he is doing the whole thing by hand, not autoclave. His handmade items are of really good quality. He made the Desmosedici replica fairings for the 999 for example.

XE - Universal Currency Converter is what I am using for currency coversion. It usually puts you in the ballpark.

Yes, all the oil and a little more (you´re not always going straight when losing oil I heard ).

Let me look into how much these people here are interested and I´ll be happy to move away from the subforum if you want me to. I am not the maker of the bellypans, just trying to see if there is interest in those items and passing the info along. I want one of those myself and my mate would want to make more than 1-2 items to make it worthwhile.

Just a little modification to the pan and it will easily accept the kickstand. Here is mine for reference.
