Totto,

I have a set of Showas from a 999 Bip sitting in a box in my garage (with the nice relieved mounting brackets for the calipers, 65mm spacing).

They are in very good condition, having done 1,500 miles on the local dealers demo bike.

There are a couple of very small marks on the upper tubes, probably from when they were removed (can email photos).

My plan was to K-Tech them this winter, for installation next Spring, but if you don't want too much, we might be able to deal.

How much are you looking for to exchange?

I believe not.

I called Pro-Twins and Sigma and checked first, and they said so long as the caliper mountings are correct (40 or 65mm), should strap striaght on.

Hrmmph!

Hadn't expected that.

Why, oh why did Ducati have to meddle with the perfect bike?!!

Thanks Rich, and sorry for wasting your time Totto.

If you don't get any other takers, we could look at swapping the fork bottoms, but I won't be suprised if that's too much hassle for you.

Good luck anyway.
