Oil Cooler Guard question

12-04-2004, 11:16 AM

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

Now isn't this a coincidence? Think you're onto a winner mister...

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.

Moto corse do a titanium radaitor guard/grill/cover/protector or whatever you want to call it. Beautifully made too.

Only problem its in Japan and I can't read japnese, looks about 22,000 yen postage and packaging might be costly!!

Does anyone have a photo or link, so I can have a look?
What do people want in a Oil Cooler Guard.

What Material would you like it made out of? Steel(Chromed), Aluminium, Stainless etc
Hole patterns or Logo's etc.

Give me some starting points and I will knock a CAD Design up showing a few ideas etc

Thanks

Andy

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

as some of the members here know..i was taking pics and measurments of oil coolers and S4 rads...

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.
