Time to start modding

Albie · 28-06-2009, 07:25 PM

Well now both bikes have gone its time to start modding. Not too much but the usual things. I have made a start today with hopefully a bargain compared to DP parts prices. Just got a carbon front sprocket cover. They are different shape to the usual monster a good marketing ploy by Ducati there then

It was a buy it now price so no bidding at £39.99 which compared to ducatis £79.99 is a bargain.
Not sure whether to leave doing the pressure plate and cover until after the first service. I have these items already.
Most importantly is the crash bungs on front wheels and frame. Im looking at the R&G site and around the £110 and a bit for both. If anyone knows of a site cheaper can you let me know but for 696/1100 .
The exhausts I really want to do. Waiting on a set.

really annoyed at myself as I was watching the sale of top carbon fibre tank keyguard piece retailing at over £180. Forgot to log on yesterday and went for £50 1 bid.

You could get a set of these for the frame (simply bolt to it):

Barracuda Crash Bungs

You can get some discrete fork protectors that look like your bar-ends from JHP for about £15.

If you go for the carbon hugger, you can get a complimentary carbon chain guard that finishes the job off nicely from carbonworld.de

Was that sprocket cover a DP one ! would be interesting to know the quality from that seller

Albie · 29-06-2009, 05:45 PM

No it wasnt and am very interested in seeing the quality. Its says its aviation quality and better than dp but will wait and see. For the price I hoping its a good deal. Its also stated as UV stabilised so no fading.

I was watching and hoped someone on here would buy,good price but not sure if it would match all the dp carbon i have,buy carbon polish,stops it from fading !

This looks similar to the one I got. Maybe same maker.

you know you need both seats

Albie · 29-06-2009, 10:18 PM

Thinking about it I have my standard 95 miles only seat that may be modded. Hmm another winter project alcantara and coloured stitching high density foam and a carbon tailpiece with a spoiler LOL

Albie · 12-07-2009, 01:19 PM

After the service came the ride home with some new bits and some cr4ppy weather for 200 miles. A 2 hour clean bought her back and some new bits came out the cupboard with some more this coming week. Yep more carbon as I need to now get the weight back down as the crash protectors added quite a bit.
The clutch cover was removed for the anodised JHP pressureplate and rizoma clutch cover which I have modified with a carbon fibre 5 pointed affair. 3mm just cut to shape and filed smooth. I just need to relaquer it now.

The carbon fibre tank top and lower protecter were on the wish list and I got sucked into buying them yesterday. What is it with some mechanics cant put things on properly. I had to take it off when got home as the rubber seal gasket was poking out 3-4mm in places and none in others.

Took me 10 minutes to sort .

The carbon fibre sprocket cover bought for £39.99 not dp but as good quality and the R&G crash protectors

The front R&G crash protectors.

And 2 side shots. Not like this for long I can tell you That tail is going in the plastic parts bin
