And yes, that does look lovely.

Very nice work!

Mine took about 3 days to arrive, but I was the first one in there and I think the others had to wait for stock.

The seat unit uses original mounting brackets (the 4 at the front) but it sits above the frame, so you either have to use a Ducati fitting kit (about £40 I think) or make your own...

The seat took under a week to arrive.

I bought standard Superlight seat mounting plates from Snells and discovered that the rubber blocks that sit between mounting plate and frame are identical to the tank locating blocks - and I had a gash tank with a set of blocks so it was easy.
Tony Brancato sells it all as a kit, too.

Or do what I do with my 888, put some pipe insulation on the frame tubes and glue a strip of rubber onto the seat unit so that it sits on the frame rails.

Cheers, Paul

That looks proper, Paul. Nice one and good luck.

Very pretty Paul-but wouldn't it have saved time to have painted it dusty gravel colour to start with..............

Very well presented Mr P! I'll lay odds she goes as well as she looks too

I've seen several very well turned out machines all ready to go for DD, I shall be embarrassed to ride on the same piece of track as you lot so I think you should all ride about a half a lap behind

Nice work paul- i'll see you cadwell next week

[paynep]

Home safe and sound - unlike my mate who got the second part of Charlie's wrong and ended up in the tyre wall - but unhurt.

Lap times nothing too spectacular, but the bike was running weak at the top end so the straights were a big yawn and the steering head bearings are definitely shot so braking was a bit of a lottery.

Plenty of time to sort that before the weekend - if not I'll be using all you fast guys to stop me!

[domski]

You were looking smooth at Cadders. I followed you for a lap or so on the black 748.

Your bike looks pretty too
