If you could have any part for your TUONO, it would be a ?????

[Jimfins]

If you could have a cool new mod, what would it be (big or small)?

[ckruzel]

not just for a tuono, but light wheels, BIG Difference. i got them already though

[AZRen]

1. Ohlins Forks
2. Marchesini Wheels
3. Full CF Belly Pan.

Think in terms of a modification...not off the rack. I am a fabricator and build parts for MC's and would like to get into building a few things for this bike. I have a few idea's, but would like your thoughts.

Here's an article a magazine did on my first bike a few years ago.....

I do CNC, water-jet, laser, and other types of machining and would like to build a few parts for all of us to enjoy.

How do you guys solve the NO TANK BAG dilema?

[AZRen]

Ahhh. You should have said that in the first place.

There are tank bags that use straps if the lack of a metal tank is what you are referring to.

As far as something that's not already available, I'll have to think on it.

A full racing CF belly pan (or even plastic) would be nice if you can do that sort of thing.

[dougan]

sweet.

if you do CNC, does that mean you can make (male) molds?

--I'd love to figure out a way to re-do the front end to include projector lenses.

--a single-sided swingarm

--perhaps an F4 or Brutale-styled exhaust system... maybe even a single exhaust that is somehow integrated into the single-sided swingarm.

--short-stack exhaust.... like sawed-off shotgun style.

--a single-sided swingarm

--a cup holder... its an idea I've always wanted to integrate into a sportbike.... detachable... why not?

--headlights that are attached to the forks, ie: move with the bike.

--some black billeted turn signals... I have looked at everything from lockheart philips, and its all kinda lame.

--has anyone put handgaurds on.... Smoto style?

k.... that was basically stream of consciousness.... I'm sure I'll regret visibly publishing these ideas in a few minutes, but I'll come up with more.

sweet bike.

[Jimfins]

Dougan...exactly what I am looking for.....and the cup holder is not bad.

What about a storage compartment that fits under the under-tail?

Cup-holder......swear to god I thought the same thing.....lame....but useful!

Re-mount lights and such is probably a slam dunk.......I can do that with some slick 3-d brackets.

Headlight instead of looking like "THE FLY" would be real cool.....but the instrument panel would be a booger to mount I think.

What about a slick camera mount that would turn with the bars?

Just throwing ideas to get everyone's juices flowing........then we'll pick a few and I'll get to drawing/tooling.

So......what would you want?

[chrisscaines]

you stole my cubholder idea...

Dougan, tell everyone what you did on Saturday. But start another thread... this outta be good... Start where we switched bikes... har, har.

[AZRen]

you stole my cubholder idea...

You guys need a cigarette lighter too.... Just make sure it holds a 44oz'er

Heated grips, a matching riding suit, stereo, curlers, cornering wheels for below 5kph, manicure, full 55 gallon luggage, toasted sandwich maker, touring seat, oh yeah, a manual too

rotfl - you crack me up t06
But seriously, a camera mount would be really cool, and if you could whip up a working rear brake, that would be cool too, but the camera mount would be priority.

[splatty]

Supercharger.........she is a bit slow

Rear brake and manual would be nice, but only cos we have already paid for them

[FredE]

If you could have any part for your TUONO, it would be a ?????

It would be ANOTHER Tuono. My Wifey has discovered the pleasures of T7 Heaven......now she wants to ride it when we go out!

[AZRen]

Shorter bar riser to lower the bars a bit.
and I still want that belly pan.

--some black billeted turn signals... I have looked at everything from lockheart philips, and its all kinda lame.

Kellermann out of Germany makes billet LED turn signals that would probably fit. Lockhart Philips is lame.
