I'm unemployed right now and I'm pretty handy with a band saw and TIG torch. You buy the beer...

I figure you need to fab a couple of alloy brackets that come of the supframe mounts but only extend back far enough to suport the rider. Make a mold out of styrofoam and lay up a CF seat/number plates/exhaust support out of pre-preg. Glue some aluminum foil to the bottom for a heat shield and a 3/8" foam pad to the top for a seat and away you go.

Sounds good in theory, however im tihnking bolt, bolt off, may be a better way to go.
tons of work going on in the SFO bay area.

Anton, I PM'd you a day or two ago.

Acid; buy a good square-wave TIG, a good bandsaw, a nice cincanatti mill and lathe and build all your stuff yourself! then you have the tools to make all kinds of goodies for other projects too!, while you're at it, get an eastwood powdercaoter and the big booth oven from them and you can do frames! (and big parts too, like Porsche crankcases, new best friend)

Acid DDB..cool.

[Rapid Dog]

I wanna do your advertising. We can trade for cool ****z n stuff.
Maybe we could be on the Dicovery channel n ****z.
Cool.

[JonyRR]

Yeah, have you ever seen those clowns from Orange County Choppers....I'll bet any 3 of us could do better than that hardley-krap those shop-class reject doofuses foist as 'custom'......C'mon Acid, let's start making some cool stuff. I believe that's how C&J frames got started...the older Cole was building indy car chassis for someone else and Steve Jenteges said 'let's do some motorcycle frames' and the rest is history....

"Bolt-ons Ltd."

well stupider ideas have made millions, Pet rock scored 5meg the first christmas, roling rocks in 55gal drums on AC motors in guys garages.

Unfortunatley the motorcycle biz is low buck and thin margins, the retards in LA got lucky, right place, right time, dont give shot attitudes, idiotville scores, good for them.
thats what people want, the stuff we do nobody wants, you know real engineering, quality, top rate exuecution and performance, oh well, its a fun hobby......

[Rapid Dog]

yeah, we're already a Cult Legend...

I honestly believe that between everyone here as a group we have the knowledge/talent/tools to build/mfr just about anything needed. RapidDogs bar backs are one example.

Yesterday I was installing some under-drive pulleys on my buddys prelude, and got to thinking.......couldnt be that hard to machine some lighter (dosent have to be under-drive) aluminum pulleys for the S...........hummm what about a lightend flywheel, not stoopid light mind you. Maybe some caliper adapters to install some killer binders off another bike? Just some ideas.

[Anton]

I with Roundelrider on this one. Acid's S Shoppe. As for the subrfame and tailsection, the more I think about it, the more a one-peice bonded aluminum carbon-fiber part would be cool. Anybody got Nastran so we can design it?

[acidburn]

whats NAstran a program, if yes i can probably get it.

Problem is gents, the 1100s just aint the popular.
we think its the bomb, oh sure, but in reality, the parts biz in MC is brutal, i looked at it many way, but keep thinking, a race team in a few years is not out of the question, i might need a few people to drink tequila with, win or loss, if they will ever let me resign, oy vey.

[RoundelRider]

Maybe a single section tail with a different but visible tail lamp assy, intergrated turn signals (optional), and some "styling windows" that have polished aluminum or titanium that show from behind the body work, a foam seat, and the entire unit could be bolted on/off using the factory subframe.

Just floating ideas......
