Oil Cooler Guard question
Hi
Let me introduce myself, I own a Company making products for Bikes, radiator Grills, Fender Eliminators etc. Hamicad ltd It is a new Company that has not been trading that long, but it is building up quite a good reputation. I have been a biker for 25+ Years and currently ride a Suzuki GSX-R1000 (No Spitting!) Someone with a Monster was admiring a set of my Grills fitted to a Suzuki SV1000 and commented there was not much around for the Monster in the way of Oil Cooler Covers, and a friend of a friend recommended this site to me. My question, is there a market for Quality Oil Cooler Guards? I do all the 2D/3D CAD Design myself and the biggest Plus I can offer to this site, is I will design what members actually want! The Skys the limit with the design, I can make it out of steel, Aluminium, Stainless Steel etc. It would be Laser Cut, so any pattern, within reason is feasible. Logo's are no problem either. If anyone has any design ideas, I will listen! At the end of the day, you will get what design you want! 2nd Question, how many different Oil Coolers are there? Which models etc. Thanks Andy |

As the culprit I will say the coolers on my friends SV looked good, and as no one seems to have yet developed them for the Monster, I hope Andy get enought interest as I would like a ali look radiator grill on my monster. From what my friends with the SV say the price for theirs was reasonable.

Can't read Kanji? Shame on you....
Anyway, the one for the Monster is only 14,800 yen which is about £75. Postage on that won't be much, and doesn't take long. A letter/small package takes 5 days.

To Normsthename
My personal feeling is a aluminium cover to match the other materials on the bike, most monsters from new do not have shiny bits and a polished effect at that point would look out off place, I think either the name monster or ducati would look good cut into it but do'n't know if you can use the ducati name. |

Norm
My preference would be dull/brushed S/S or Ally. As for the design, just horizontal slots or perhaps incorporate the Ducati circle with the slash across (I think its supposed to be a D) I guess there may be trademark issues there though. |
