July 24: 1377 gr.... or 3.03 lbs .
The first Monocoque ( Carbon-Tailsection) is out of the mould.
Really too many layers Carbon I think,could have been less.Next one will be 1150 -1200 gr .

.....less than most aftermarket Tailsections which are done for a Subframe....

July 18 : The Tailsection-Model is done !

.......hehe, that's the Advantage of drinking lot's of beers before acting......... .
Ok, the Story behind : before I started with the Tailsection I sat some hrs side of the Bike and just thought. Thought how to bring out a nice shaped conlusive Tailsection reg. the precondions I have .
So ,the pain in my eyes : the lower spot where the OEM Subframe is fixed. Using that spot a Tailsection will look ugly anyway......does'nt matter, if I go for a Carbon-Subframe, or not. The Spot itself is the Problem . So after maybe 3 gallons of beer I got it :"Why should I go for that spot",I thought ,"why don't you do,what you want " .And yes, this was the revolution......took a while to decide where and how to fix a 2nd spot at the main-frame to carry drivers load, but then I got it.

And now it's done : A Monocoque. No Subframe at all. Conclusive design.Pics next year.
