[ricco749s]

Pretty impressive list, but surprised not to see replacement V piece with integral mesh cover to protect oil cooler - maybe just not on list? I want to replace mine ('04 999r) for this reason. Casoli do a nice one but modified to block the air intake/cooling duct to the rear pot to stop c--p/rain finding its way down there. Saw something about this a while ago on the board, but given your current project, wondered if you have any recommendations or are you leaving as standard??

[Carbon749]

Currently got a DP carbon V piece which looks nice, but, does not give additional protection. Saying that my bikes never see rain.

May look at doing something with the V piece later on.

One of these may be the answer ...

As for my pockets they may be deep, but, they are very empty :lol:

Already sold :( built it from scratch in 2003 and Ducati went and copied me in 2004 with the 749r :lol:

Time to move on and use a better foundation for the next one. I now have the right suspension, brakes and engine :D

Seen it, £275 at moment. My bike has carbon mirror supports as standard (very trick) and I bought a brand new magnesium headlight shell for less than £90 off a DSC member :D

[ace]

very good ! go to the top of the class :D:D

[weeian]

look forward to seeing the results !

[Sharpy G]

Mag headlamp surround is £139 new from Ducati
how come the one on Ebay is £275 ??

[Twinfan]

Why the carbon seat unit? Didn't the R come with a carbon seat?

[Sharpy G]

only the 999R got the carbon seat unit, 749R is plastic
easily fixed tho' !
