View Full Version : Got my 749S back!

As the title says really! Picked her up on Saturday fully repaired, Termis fitted and a little bit of a paint job. Splashed a few carbon bits on her too, plus an open clutch. Jobs a good 'un!

Trouble is, she was stalling when slowing down all the way home :( The cooler weather seems to really affect her (it did last year) so a full setup is required. She was fine 2 weeks ago though. Call to the dealers tomorrow me thinks.

Hopefully a pic is attached...

It got held up a bit because of problems with my paint job (about 4 weeks), so it took 6 months to get sorted in the end...

The bike looks great.
The black wheels really set it off.You must be well chuffed.

nice 1 dave

looks real good!

and i bet u are really pleased its all over and glad to have her back

has it really been six months ?

Yep, it really has been six months :o

The rearsets are Migliore.

I won some carbon belt covers on eBay from the same guy I got the air tube covers off. They got lost in the post though, supposedly, and I ended up getting a refund. They're the only thing I would buy now - other than that it's perfect!

The Termi makes the engine spin up much easier. The bike feels more alive, throttle response is quicker and the bike just seems to be reathing so much easier.

That's BEAUTIFUL. I actually really like the yellow, even if it is slower. We can't get yellow 'S's here in the states, nor can we get s bi-posto. Straight up red mono's...not that I'm complaining.

i must admit with black wheels it looks tasty. yella' stickers are a nice touch even if they do slow the wheel down:burn:

No I haven't got yellow leathers! I'm slow enough already!

Nice one TF. Looks really good and hopefully the weather'll hold off long enough for you to enjoy it in the dry.

Looks great TF. Like your rear hugger, very neat. Also whats the story with the wheels, Were they replaced as black or were the painted up black. They look really smart

ride safe

They were painted up black at my request, plus I have a Corse stripe on the front mudguard complete with black/yellow Ducati Corse decal (see pic)

NICE BIKE, mine used to look like that before I dropped it :(
I need to get my frame painted amoungst other things, have you seen a yellow bike with a BLACK frame ? Im thinking about getting it done. Anyone have pics ?
Twinfan
20-Sep-2005, 20:10
I was going to have a black frame, but it wasn't worth all the questions at resale time. It's pretty obvious the bike has been down the road then isn't it?
