If you want to see what the DP filler looks like, there's a picture of mine here:

You'll probably pay a premium over a similar CNC part but I liked the look of it. Having said that, I think CNC do a lockable option, which might be important to you.

Carry on spending!

Thanks.

I was looking at yours last night, can't justify £160 for a petrol cap!. But who knows what will happen in the near future. LOL

I'm not going to add up the costs so far, maths was never my strong point . The MV costs are even worse!.
Just hope the wife never reads any of my posts!

This could be your lucky day!

I don't think it's a genuine DP item (a Chinese copy perhaps) and you'd need to buy some screws but, at only £15, worth a punt perhaps?

Alternatively, this genuine part is £105 and open to offers - maybe worth making a cheeky one!

Doggy, where did you get your mirrors from fella??

Cheers.

Doggy · 04-02-2018, 05:28 PM

Off of ebay. Cheap but they work great, clear vibration free view . Will probably get a set for my other bike .
Think I got them from these guys .

Well thanks to the bad influence of Mr Luddite I now have a Ducati Performance petrol cap.
Fitting is a bit of a faf as you need to remove all the panels covering the tank and, various screws holding the cap etc .
Cold fumbeling fingers and I dropped the first screw I undone straight into the petrol tank!! Doh!!
After that all fairly straight forward .
Bit dissapointed it doesn't come with black screws though.

New keyring also .

Looking good, Doggy!

I'm with you on the silver screws though; I replaced them with these:

More temptation, I know - but they're only a fiver!

Thanks!. I knew I could count on you to get me spending more money!

£20 for a DP filler cap? Bloody hell that has to be bargain of the year!

Chinese copy. Mine was a few times dearer than that. Unless my wife is reading this , in which case it was indeed a bargain at £20.

New tinted screen fitted today . A couple of the holes needed enlarging, but no big deal.

Luddite · 03-03-2018, 07:17 PM

That contrasts nicely with the white paintwork, Doggy. I think it shows up better than on my red fairing. I don't know how they can do them for the price.

Very tasteful! (What's next?)

Doggy · 04-03-2018, 09:38 PM

Black screws for the screen perhaps?

Probably going to take off all the panels again and the tank to get to the battery to fit my Garmin satnav ready for a little euro road trip in May .
