TANK COVER IN CARBON BY HANS! Hi folks!
I just called Hans the carbon and asked abou
the holeTank Cover in Carbon! ( not just the ashtray)
Hi would like to do it and I seem to be the first one to orde it
But what I need is a little bit *backup*
He can't start the molding before he get's ten to fifteen (10-15) of us
for covering the molding costs and making the tank cover price friendly.... would you like to join me!
He will read this once in a while and when we are enough he will start the work... The price I don't know yet , but the quality i know!
ITS AWESOME!

S/S swingarm is good for one thing only: quick tire changes. Other than that, it blows. It's heavier, less rigid, and much larger than conventional swingarm. But yah, I'd love a full c/f frame!

Quite a few folks there who are interested to have a complete
carbon tank cover.... is it because it does not work with green or
red bike???

brave persons to cope with me and swft to have the new product
on the market by HANS! there won't be any molding if we are
not ten (10) orderers...

Guys, why not see about a carbon fuel tank for $700
I think that would sell well dont you?
Its functional and looks different!
I'd be up for one of those if the price was right.

Before I would commit I would have to know a ballpark figure$ and would this part be sturdy as the original? I like the idea of a decent price tanks too. Could tank be made bigger and incorporate the cover instead of having a tank and cover? I realize this might mean relocation of items or change how you do things but just a thought!

Why not :) Engage!
tanx for giving some ideas!
I have been thinking the same... just the carbon tank ,no cover
at all.. it would a lot of bigger . Ofcourse we should find a place
for the fuse box... or make a smaller box in the front of the tank!
propably same other adjustments has to be made too...
It could also be more easier to take the battery out of the box
without the tank cover....
But anyway at this stage I would like to have the *teem 10*
to confirm that we are seroius for the carbon tank cover )...
were are four(4) now!
Wwhen we are ten(10) then we ask Hans to get us
a vere very gooood price

...this reminds me of the "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"...if HANS can give us a ball-park figure on how much it would cost and tell us that more orders means lower costs, then I think you'd get more orders...I don't know what HANS's profit margins are, but a reasonable non-refundable deposit to cover his basic enginering/design/manufacturing costs would probably get you and HANS more responses...all I can say is that I might get one if the price was within my means...and I'd probably paint it, too!...I just like the idea of a lighter tank that holds more fuel (I like to fast-tour on this thing)...
