Be interested to know who did the "custom paint job"

The guy who does the Renegade BSB/WSB bikes is doing it via Ducati Manchester (who are rebuilding my bike).

Mike then, Rage Designs, mate of mine, should of gone direct and avoid paying D/Mcr's cut he's only down the road

[Twinfan]

Doh! Didn't know that. It's only a small amount of work so it shouldn't be too expensive. I'd be gutted if I'd just ordered a £1000+ full on race rep though!

[JPM]

That's the ball park for that kind of work these days... OUCH!!!

Does a good job though to be fair, not the quickest turn around as he's always mad busy doing WSB and BSB bikes this year plus various dealers work

I think it's the kit to convert an '03 or '04 bike to the '05 box section swingarm?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is,however,there is a footnote stating the swingarm will not match the exhuast kits upto my04.(I guess they are talking 2-1-2 systems here???!!!)The fairing will have to be modified too.

[Twinfan]

Cheers Keefy. I think it'll mean all exhausts, including the assymetrics?

I've given up on the idea

"(red square)749/749s-999/999s<=MY04 - 999R<=MY03 749 Dark

This swingarm cannot be matched with the exhaust kits for 749/999<=MY04 of this catalog. The original fairings of 749/999 MY03/MY04 and the ones shown in this catalog should be modified using the suitable template supplied with the kit."

So that means?

[Twinfan]

Means all exhausts need to be modded, and the fairing trimmed. I can't be bothered with any of that, especially now I've bought Termis!

[JPM]

TF so what is the outcome with your bike then? is it being repaired/replaced? and when do you expect to be back on the road?

Are we not missing something here? Why are Ducati doing a kit to modify from 03 swingarm to the later one? Are they making an admission they got it wrong? Is this a link to the depreciation thing?
