Glad its gone to a good home.

[Jools]

Nice. I like the approach. I'm going for function over form with any upgrades I do, with a little bit of subtle and trick but hopefully much better performance ie: Uprated brakes etc...

[doogalman]

Sharpy!!! Will get out for that blast some time. Whens the paint job happening????

[chris.p]

This seat unit is a cracker.

[chrisw]

The LED conversion looks similar to one I got from Busters Accessories. I found that the holes in the replacement lens were too narrow and need to be reemed out, the fit was also crap. Also, the wiring instructions were wrong and had been reversed. ie the stop light was actually the tail-light and vice versa.

[Sharpy G]

Lights from Jamie @ Project-R, all fit fine but just my original housing is buggered !

What I am after:

2005 Shape Carbon top nosecone with headlamp holes or another 2004 Carbon 749/999R top fairing to paint

Carbon Mirror Casings

Corse style rearsets as per Stu Eastons race bike

Braking or Galfer Wavey front n rear discs

Power commander & quickshifter kit

the riding ability of Greg Lavilla...LOL

[Carbon749]

See you have the riders underslung caliper mod. Also have this on my 749r. Andy B also has one on his 999.

Word or warning ... supplied brake hose is too short :mad: you need one that is around 750mm plus or minus a touch.

[Sharpy G]

did they change the hose for you ?
mine says Goodridge SB30575CL on the pack
and is about 620mm end to end of hose

Could not be arsed to mess around, bought a new braided one local today for £15. Will probably put the one that came with the kit on e-bay.

By all means see how you get on, but, I do know Andy B had the same problem. Just allow for having to get a longer hoses when you try to fit the bracket.

[Sharpy G]

this was my last project
got in Crossbow Calendar, and Fastbikes 7 page centrespread & FB calendar
R&G racing used to use it on there stand at BSB & WSB rounds as well
Superb paintwork by Jason @ Finishline in Redhill, Surrey

Nice bike, there seem to be several Duke owners based in Redhill area, I`m up the road in Coulsdon, do any of you go to Newlads Corner?

[doogalman]

How about a Redhill meet-up followed by a blast???? We could srart in Redhill and finish in Redhill. I'd be up for it.

[Sharpy G]

Start outside McDonalds, twice round the one way system then back home ? LOL:lol:

[Sharpy G]

Chrisiball

Nope that would be mine :D .... I was working from home that day :lol:

In with Nelly to have 2 new fork legs under warranty due to both legs leaking oil big style.

By the way, the 748r looked really nice.

[Sharpy G]

mmmmmmmmm......dohnuts........ oops, I mean carbon:D

[Linda 749R]

Hi Sharpy G,

Have you mounted the smoked lenses on the bike yet.

If so,please post some pics of it.

Greatings,Linda

[Sharpy G]

now better..............MUCH better !
:D

After
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1568.jpg

P.S. Linda, smoked lenses going on soon ! waiting for some special paint on carbon mirror cowels first

[Sharpy G]

With a week to go before Jay at Finishline starts on my paintwork:

I decided that my DP Carbon seat unit would look better with the top vents in..........so with the aid of my trusty cordless and some needle files & 1 hour later...................back in the bat cave

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1603.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1606.jpg

Much nicer ! ooh can't wait, getting excited about modifying again

JUST NEED A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECES OF SILVER MESH, ANYONE GOT ANY SPARE OFF-CUTS PLEASE ?

[doogalman]

I hope that Jay is on better form than when he had my Triton tank. 2 and 1/2 months to spray and apply decals . Sadly not going to use again.

[Sharpy G]

Come on Dougal,
give him a break, it wasn't exactly a pristene example of a tank was it ?
he did get loadsa grief with it reacting all over the place, I saw him paint it at least 4 times, he was tearing his hair out over it !
he could have given it back before looking poo, but he didn't did he ?
sometimes I have had things take longer, but he has always done a cracking job on my stuff so I can't complain

Post a pic of the Triton so I can see it m8

Graham

[doogalman]

Some reaction, yes. But the time to resolve it was crazy. Plus he had seen it prior to agreeing to do it. A phone call is allways helpfull. Not weeks of no contact.

[doogalman]

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with the end result. But tooo long.

[Sharpy G]

point taken.....guess the difference for me is I see him down the pub so I get to hassle him then when he wants a beer !! LOL

you out for a ride this weekend ?

[doogalman]

http://img286.imageshack.us/my.php?image=32sk.jpg
Could be up for a blast sunday earlyish before Mugello. Of to Biggin Hill saturday.

[doogalman]

As a foot note ; the picture does not do justice.

[Sharpy G]

mmmmm.....schnice !
what up at Biggin Hill ?

whaddya think of my carbon seat unit then ?

loose the angry face, dosen't suit you ! LOL

[doogalman]

The triton is a 28 year yearning, and this one is all mine.
Air fair this weekend at biggin hill.
the seat needs a lick of Red.
The angry face will stay untill i crack the avatar problem i have.

[Sharpy G]

got this on Fleabay to mount on my underslung caliper mount as it looks better than the standard silver painted one (well I think so)
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/8e_1_b.jpg

[doogalman]

Now you got to get replacement gold ones for the front.......

[Sharpy G]

workin' on it m8 ! LOL

[doogalman]

Just out of interest. Do the rear brakes work on 749/999. Little effect on earlier bikes. Also i need a silver rear brake for my 996 to match the new fronts.

[Sharpy G]

dunno if they work.....front radials are so awesome, don't ever remember touching the rear one !
same guy has silver one on ebay

[Sharpy G]

well mint ! can def. recommend Ducati Spares Online on Ebay !

Yep the standard rear brake works well on the 749 / 999, much better than the 749 and 996 I had before.

[Sharpy G]

got my new clutch pressure plate and caps today !
from Andrea at AT Corse,
nice finish, I wanted Ergal like the Xerox Corse bikes, so thats what they did for me
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1619.jpg

[andyb]

If your after a look a like............i would of been tempted by one of the 4 post jobbies from e bay.In fact you could of got the complete proper clutch as well?

[Sharpy G]

Think that one belongs to Carbon749, i think, could be wrong.

Whats that rust behind your v cylinder head bolts...............and wot no polished exhaust!!!! ;-)

Nope not rust...just checked, got me worried there, its some sort of grease

Polished metal ?? urgh ! that means you have to keep polishing it dosen't it ?
will certainly think about it

anyone got any pics of polished pipes ?

[iang]

Give me a few days hopefully and you can see my polished 57mm full system !

[andyriches]

Ian hope the Boss knows you have ordered the pipes ?

[iang]

Of course, would I not disclose anything that I buy for the bike !!!

No she bloody doesnt so keep your mouth shut when you see her !!

It is the same exhaust that was fitted as standard from new, I will have just polished it a bit.

[Sharpy G]

passing thro' Coventry on the way back from a customer yesterday, I realised I could pop in to JHP, met them at BSB rounds before but never had the opportunity to go in to the shop

saw 3 749Rs in there for work
I even picked myself up some early birthday presents when I was there

Not fitted the rear calliper hanger yet then? Whats with the oversike chicken strip in the last pic?
Looking good otherwise.

[doogalman]

Thought you may have blanked the number plate out.

[UKRR]

Does the DP carbon number plate holder come with fitting instructions....how do you fit the light ?

front 04 carbon fairing with numberboard painted on, front carbon mudguard and carbon mirror cowels nearly ready, just some final polishing to be done.

Jason took the original paint on the top wings of the nosecone back to bare carbon and then faded into white numberboard - looks good !

outer stripes on front mudguard & returns on edges are bare laquered carbon also, along with mirrors having the return slope to the fairing in red and the rest bare laquered carbon

Carbon seat done too

will post better pics when fitted

G

[iang]

Very nice Graham, who done them for you and what did it cost ?

No doubt AndyR will be having his painted now !

[nathanhu]

[Sharpy G]

Very nice Graham, who done them for you and what did it cost ?

and put the r/h side fairing back on

slight problem with one of the carbon mirror cowels being a cr*p shape ! GGRRRRRR ! so no go on them yet

Graeme, did you try the new shape 06 fairing to see if it would fit while it was in bits ?

The painted one looks very nice.

Whats happened with the new mirrors

You not got your discs on yet ?

Fantastic project Sharpey !

I have an as yet unpainted carbon DP tail, the same as yours was, for my 999s and cant decide on the paint scheme.

You seem to have had yours painted by Jason beautifully, but theres no carbon showing through ??

Was this deliberate ?

Decisions Decisions !

Steve

[Sharpy G]

look again, there is some carbon showing my friend
subtlety, to match with the original carbon on my R
just the returns in the vents and around the seat pad
and yep, good job by Jay
G

got a nice R carbon top fairing for sale, would look peachy with your seat unit

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1952.jpg

ooerr thats not the painted one in the earlier pics is it ??

How much ???

Its a mint original 749R/999R 04 top fairing in Red

around £1000 from Ducati

open to a reasonable offer

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g95/SharpyG/IMGP1490.jpg

[SlowLearner]

Thanks G, I will give it some thought.

Not convinced it would look right without a full carbon fairing, i only have an S not an R.

Shall post pics of my carbon tail once its painted, probably get Jason to do it if he can fit me in lol !

Thanks G, I will give it some thought.

Not convinced it would look right without a full carbon fairing, i only have an S not an R.

Shall post pics of my carbon tail once its painted, probably get Jason to do it if he can fit me in lol !

Steve

you could do something like this with it ? Sexy IMHO

what have you got Loz ?
Not a lot, Graham!

I've just got the standard 999 twist grip, which is fine for pootling ... but it's a real pain on trackdays and some of the more spirited Sunday Morning Runs I've been on. The single cable conversion has never appealed to me, but now I know that there's a quick-action twin-cable version ... ooooohh!

Anyway, the next purchase for the 999 I make is earmarked for your attention (you may recall). But before that, I need to pay for my 750 re-build, a service for the 750 and a service for the car. :eek: :(

[SlowLearner]

I too talked to Pro-Twins about the single cable conversion, was put off as they 'reprofile the throttle cams' or similar which makes the change irreversible ??

So this twistgrip sound ideal.

As a complete numpty could someone tell me how hard it would be to fit ( i have the workshop manual and only today changed my rear brake pads but its been a VERY long time since i was in any way handy with a spanner !)

Steve

[Sharpy G]

shouldn't be too bad from what I can see as the throttle unit is separate from the switch gear.
just 2 bolts and some cable jiggling I think

but I stand to be corrected/advised

Unless Pro-Twins have changed their throttle mod, they simply replace the throttle on the 749/999 with one off a 996, hence the single cable. It also requires a longer cable. I believe the parts are approx £70. The rest is labour.

[pedro]

ive had mine done on the 999.i bought me a 996 twist grip then as the 996 cable is to short i used my 999 cable,i took it to a local cable maker who replaced the inner cable & fitted the adjuster into the 996 twistgrip. the 999 cable has a plastic inner which makes the action smooth,it as i want it now but its all down to what works for you,total cost? around £20-£30 for 996 twistgrip,cable rework was £10. i belive pro v twins use a rs cable.

[749er]

From memory its about £200 for the pro twins mod including labour. I converted mine to one from these guys.

http://www.evoluzione.net/

uses the existing cables and is easy to fit. Does not shorten the throw by much though. Main feature is a non linear cam so throttle opening rate at low engine speed is reduced, but increased from the midway point in the rev range. So good for pootling round town, and pushing out of bends

(And I still want them!!!!!!!!!!!)

[iang]

Graham, my, sorry your exhaust looks great on the bike, it's only took you about 4 months to fit it !!!!

Them rearsets look great too, all you need is a small piece of carbon to fit on to the top exhaust shield bracket that will tuck down behind the rearset carbon shield.

Got some more carbon for my bike today, it is like rocky horse **** to get hold of,still waiting for other bits, pictures of my bling to follow.

By the way, what camera do you use for your photos, mine are **** with my digital, was going to buy a new one in Tenerife last week but they were more expensive than here. Saw you had a digital for sale before I left,have you got a new one now.

I can admire bling on all bikes but i think these are a bit special.
Beautiful bike sharpy.

cheers, I like it too ! :lol:
