Not sure what you mean by pilot hole, Everton cos we're talking about the standard Ducati fitting being drilled aren't we? Why would there be a pilot hole?
You're right..............you do have to drill out the standard Ducati fitting..........but there was a pilot hole already on mine and all I had to do was drill it out slightly.
But can't see if you included a reflector. These are MOT-required.
"Statutory reflectors Mopeds and motor bicycles require one unobscured red reflector which is aligned to the vehicles longitudinal centre line and is positioned to reflect squarely to the rear. "
There should be another place we could fix it, I guess...
Cheers Everton. I'm going to use your pics as my Haynes manual on this one!
I ordered mine from Cornerspeed yesterday. First time I've dealt with them, but I was very impressed. They guy there didn't want to sell me any bits for the 749 that he couldn't personally vouch for the quality of. Instant trust factor = 10
Sorry Everton -- another question. Re. the reflector, did you use the one from the standard tail light kit and can it be unbolted? Or can you just cannibalize a Halfords bicycle reflector kit maybe?
All fitted now. Not hard at all, although the instructions (Evoluzione) did differ a bit from the layout of brackets/nuts etc on my new 749. Also a couple of fairly obvious things were missed out - but all pretty easy in the end.
Now looks much tidier, even with the reflector bolted onto the bottom of the plate.
