Need your suggestions/help

[SAMoloGY]

ok, im thinking of installing a belly pan on my bike, for those of you who dont know what a belly pan is, its sort of like a fairing that comes under the bike to protect the underside of naked bikes/streetfighters.

to be honst, non of the belly pans made for the Ducati Monster 696 appeal to me, but theres one that grabbed my attention. although its a bit more than a belly pan since it covers up some of the side as well.. i really like how it completes the bike, and gives it more of a supersport/naked bike look.

ive dug up the guy that owns the bike, and well.. hes italian.. so english isnt his first language.. after using google translator and an english-italian dictionary, ive come to the conclusion that its a custom made part that started off as a belly pan for the Monster S2r/S4r (Otto's bike)

ok, now heres the question.. does anyone know, or have any suggestions as to where i can transform this..

keep in mind that i dont really care about the cost as long as they can make me the piece exactly like the pics... given its good quality ofcourse!

Looks good hands down, I would go for the CF one TBH, if you dont like it in the end, its only a paint job away from your desired color of choice.

Al-MIsh5a9.

/thread.


*Edit: thats for the Fibreglass one, if you want CF, u'r ish outta luck.

[SAMoloGY]

im not thinking of CF since im pretty sure we dont have any proffesional shops that can lay CF and mold it into a custom piece.

any more info about al mish5a9? location? quality of their work?

[ED]

its opposite Master Exhaust, quality is 6:10, 10 being world class. the prices are also not bad.

dude it's a naked bike.. leave it in a G-string..

is there any functional benefit to the belly pan?

[maXmood]

i think Manila garage can do it.

to be honest, the only functions i know of are:

1. increased protection to the underside of the bike, oil filter and oil pan.
2. helps with the heat generated from the air cooled motor
3. they look good!

[Ottoman]

does it funnel air into the motor?

it seems like it blocks it actually

[SAMoloGY]

look closely, it does have some sort of a ram air effect, that.. and the oil color already has its own funnel.

oh ur planning on putting an oil cooler on it?

i heard it's an easy mod

this style looks the best imo

[SAMoloGY]

thats not my bike.. thats a s2R. and to be honest, im not very fond of using that belly pan on my bike since it doesnt complement the newly designed lines and frame of the 696/1100
