Neil,

You can clearly see what a Spaghetti system looks like compared to standard headers although the ones in the pic have been modded in the cross over. Rgds, Rob

[851neil]

hmmm, tasty stuff - the pics have been added to my 851 folder for reference and possible negotiation with the boss

[Monty]

Now then Rob, we'll have none of your pornographic pictures on here thank you very much.........

They look well tasty mate-the old 'nest of vipers'.

Neil,

I see you won the SP2 system, that be a nice addition and go well with the planned mods.

Rgds, Rob

[851neil]

yeah - cheers mate, I'm picking the pipes up tomorrow morning, then I'm across to Leeds to drop my motor off with 'Ducati John'.

It's all go at the moment - I've also managed to get confirmation of an order with Ducati for a load of stuff at what seem to be really good prices, odds and ends like clip ons, brake & clutch levers + mastercylinders, seat units, body parts, bracketry, fasteners, screen, dashboard, control cables, hoses, hydraulic hoses etc

What I can't get over is the fact that performance bits seem difficult to get hold of, but I'm new to Dukes so maybe it's just a case of learning who to speak to !!!

[neil]

Where is everyone getting these cheap parts from, everytime I go anywhere for something, they haven't got it and charge full price.....can someone let me into a secret? I'm still after a seat cowl, and am loathed to bay £78 for a lil bit o plastic.....

[851neil]

no secrets neil ! seat cowl, is that the sleeve over the pillion seat ??

[neil]

Yup, sleeve over pillion seat, same as the 888 on mine, but I believe the early 851's had a different type, but £78......think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet!

[Rob B]

851Neil, Did you get my U2U mate?

Rgds, Rob

[851neil]

yip, read it and appreciate your question, when I finish my rebuild I'll let you know what I have left over. I'll probably keep the cosmetic stuff just in case I ever drop her !!
cheers

Neil
