Water pump guard for the Super Tenere

[Ladlesport]

Hi all,
Looking to gauge interest in creating a Water Pump Guard for the 2010+ Super Tenere.
The preliminary model, 3D print and fit tests are complete and with enough of y'all interested I would be happy to run a batch of these, say 20 to start.

No idea on cost for these just yet, material would be 6061 or 5052 Aluminum and IF I can get a good sized run, I would have them anodized black. All hardware would be included and consist of stainless steel bolts/screws and aluminum spacers and include a new copper crush washer. (there would be some style added with my logo and such so its less boring)

Shipping to EU?
Indication of price?

It looks like a good design for an unprotected vulnerable spot on the bike. Especially since a lot of the existing skid plates do not address the issue. What does it look like on the bike? How much protection does it provide? Do you have any initial cost estimates?

Best guess would be about the same as the NAV Bars I sell, so around 12-15 Euros but that is without tracking info. The same normally costs about 40-45 Euros for a tracked parcel.

I will get some pictures of it on the bike in a few days. It would be similar or a little more than what the long since discontinued AltRider version that was popular.

For the price, I would like to see what everyone's interest over the next few days before I get a quote from the company that I use since for laser cutting and forming. I am not a huge fan of wasting their time generating quotes that don't generate sales for them.

I am highly interested, close to deciding, but wait untill there are some pics available.
Perhaps @StefanOnHisS10 is also in for one, that probably saves postage…

My waterpump is reasonably protected by the OE skidplate extension. Could be interested in extra protection.

Shipping about 12 to 15$, that should not be the problem..

I have a RideonAdv plate from @~TABASCO~ which guards pretty much every thing. If you did a fit check you should post pictures to show coverage. I have seen a stick take out the hose in that area.

Hi Guys. thanks for waiting on me. Both this week and last I have been dealing with the covid and its pretty much taken the wind out of my sails.

Since I see that more than 50% of the votes are leaning towards "interested" I am sending this design off for a quote. I will try and get some photos of my 3D printed model mounted up later today.

Update.

Here is the prototype guard installed with hardware mocked up as well. Just waiting on my anodizing firm to quote their work for these then I will have a good idea of what the cost. It will include all new stainless hardware and Aluminum spacers AND a new sealing washer for the lower pump housing bolt. I will not make you reuse it like some other companies have in the past (cough cough AltRider... cough cough)
I am thinking a run of 20 of these to start.
