Nice to hear you're enjoying the bike, Boyo -- it certainly is a beauty. All the tank welds are the same on 749R's -- I wouldn't bother about it. Yours is no worse than any other, I'm sure. You could try speaking to Marcello at Ducati London South about a hugger? DLS have closer links with Ducati Corse than most and might be able to help. Dunno how different the BSB/WSBK swingarm is though (apart from being made of magnesium rather than aluminium) Rob |
