GS Carbon Fibre - Poll

[Adam1759]

Ok, here are the initial items. Please let me know what you are interested in.

 

[Adam1759]

It's multi choice so select as many as you like. The poll is open for 2 weeks, after that I'll see where to go.

rear hugger for 1150gsa

 

[Adam1759]

Ok Roddy. That would be simple to produce, if it was wanted by enough riders

 

[gabriel_gs]

Rear hugger for GS after 17" converstion

 

[roddy]

oops should have clarified, as per previous post, hugger for after 17" conversion

 

[Adam1759]

Standard is 17"? do you mean a one with a lower profile to match a road(sports) tyre?

 

[Adam1759]

and wider like the Rocksters 180?

 

[gabriel_gs]

Sorry - Maybe I should check these things first!

Not yet seen a GS hugger on a cast 17" (1150RT 5" rim) wheel so not sure how well it sits/looks.

Yup to both

 

[riggard]

1150 styled beak for a 1100 GS would be nice.

Have you looked for a hugger for an R1100S/SS/Boxercup. Ilmberger do one that's a straight fit, but they're not cheap...

 

[Brian O]

Any chance of a "cockpit tidy" (under clocks in front of headstock).

this sort of thing http://www.boxer-design.de/en/detail.asp?ID=36&pID=603 but with no thermometer.

Brian - this would be easy to produce, if there was the numbers to make it worth while. If enough people show interest I can get it made

Riggard, Geno - I don't think there would be a market for 1150 styled beaks for the 1100 (but people are welcome to post up and prove me wrong!) A carbon beak in OE style would be possible - again if there was enough of a market.

I've seen those but my main concern is that they look very minimal and quite flimsy. Pyramid also do one which is more in fitting with the GS look in my opinion

 

[Adam1759]

For those people interested in cylinder head guards, my plan would be to produce them with a CF outer layer for impact resistance and to have a layer of kevlar inside for wear resistance. CF looks good but in that application it would wear very quickly if the bike was to slide. Kevlar would deal with the friction and stop it getting to the head itself.

I also have CF colour samples coming which will eventually be on my website (silver, blue, yellow, red etc)

I've had both. The Pyramid one was in GRP & was rubbish but the Ilmberger in CF is a work of art & very sturdy as it has a bracing piece enclosed within the CF

All IMHO, of course...

 

[Adam1759]

You guys opinion is what will make this happen! If the Ilmberger has bracing then it explains the great look but also means I cannot reproduce it I'm afraid.
