990 duke battle belly pan

As title. Belly pan from the SD battle series required

You used to be able to get them from Skidmarx. I had them make me a carbon fibre one from the same mould. Cost an arm and a leg though! Actually I just looked at their site and the bellypan isn't the one I got. Maybe they've changed it or maybe I got mine from elsewhere.

I think maybe mine is one of these...

Think I prefer the replicast one. How does yours cope with the heat? Did it need heat proofing?

[bic_bicknell]

When I originally fitted it I put a layer of self adhesive heat foil on the inside of the carbon where it came close to the front header. But over the years it's come away and now there's nothing and there's no adverse effect from the heat. But that's carbon and not GRP so can't really comment on that. What is a pain is that the horn doesn't really fit inside the bellypan and even though I'm always fiddling with the bracket and bending it this way and that so often the horn does not work by the time all the bolts are done up because the edge of it hits the pan and stops it beeping. Not really bothered because the horn is so shit anyway.

Thanks bic. I've got a slightly worse for wear grp one here fitted to an early SD. There's definite signs of bubbling due to heat. Also, just had a quick look and the horn has been rotated 90deg and works fine. Will take the belly pan off later to check if he's just bent the bracket or made up a new one

Have to say, I'm tempted with the carbon one as I guess it's a good bit lighter although I'd probably end up painting it Black!

This is my old bike withe the belly pan I fitted which I think has the best lines on a 990

Only trouble is I cant remember the make. I got it direct fromthe UK manufacturers who were sekking on eBay if thats any help.

if it was one piece it would be fine but i'm not keen on the 2 part look.

[bic_bicknell]

One other thing. If you get a proper race belly pan like I did it has to be oil tight. Which means that it also fills up with water and rain when it's wet. I got fed up with always having about three inches of water in the bottom of the pan so I drilled a 10mm hole and fitted a rubber plug so now all I need to do is remove the plug and it self drains.

Correctly fitted, Replicast fibreglass pan will last 30-40k miles - have had three so far and about to order fourth.

PS - order two fixing brackets if you do not want to lose/modify side stand mounting.

Thank you.
As the link was not coming from you I figured you might have another "contact".
The side stand is a pain in the a***, scratching the ground before everything else on track... I will take it out.
