It would be a sin to paint it. Just leave it as is it is awsome.

looking real good keef...where'd you get the Corse sweat band??

[Duke2BSteve]

looking real good keef...where'd you get the Corse sweat band??

you can get them from fleabay, someone in germany keeps popping up with them...

[final_edition]

If you don't want to paint it, put some DUCATI decals on the tank, as OE. In either red or white.

More pics please!!!!!

mmm carbon tastic

Rattler your more than welcome any time dude.
boyz it has got to get some paint on it, it just doesn't sit with the rest of the bike well otherwise.
I don't think I can put any more carbon on it. even the bell mouths are done.
braders you can find the band on flea bay.
just waiting for my mono blocks and I will be well and truly spent.
this is what the dsc is all about.#

Wot no Ohlins damper :frog:

[rcgbob44]

Why not just Put a Ducati Decal, Red or silver, on the tank and get it gel coated?

[keefer]

More pics please!!!!!

Give us a pic of the whole bike so we can see the carbon to paint ratio and placement :)

We could have a vote :D

[keefer]

I'll wheel it out and take a few shots
its a nice day. so feck I might even ride it
I really think its going to need paint though TP
but I am thinking of maybe some sort of GT black stripe down the middle ?

[Stu748R]

Hi Keffer,
I've just bought anouther putt putt from Wilf at Moto Rapido and noticed that he has just got in a load of Ducati corse parts including mag top yokes etc etc which he is selling at keen prices as for your paint finish,i noticed that Casoli's paint specialist have a way of applying colour but still seeing the weave under it.

I thought that we are all supposed to be reducing our carbon emmisions......

I agree it needs some kind of paint - but don't go for a GT stripe, it'll make it look like a Mini or some kind of Maxpower car!
IMHO it's gotta be a plain colour - I've seen 9*6's that have had paintjobs on them that try to pick out the lines of the tank etc but they just look ****. (since when has s h 1 t been a censored word??)

Paint it black but leave the carbon showing through the Ducati lettering - boring I know, but at least it looks tasteful.

Well I may have to have another change of colour.
as hard as it is for me to except
I may have to go RED
the black has been great. but I want to leave some carbon on show with this tank and it wont work in the black
also resale values are best with red items I believe.
so keep your eyes pealed as the bike will take on a new shade in the spring

So what was it orignaly then and what have you done to it?

[keefer]

Have a look here

[beancounter]

Well it's ok, if you like black...:)

[Lily]

Def painted for me, but if you can get it done so the DUCATI is not a decal but is the carbon showing through it looks cool (like the 998r on side panels)

how much do you reckon you have spent on getting it to where it is now and what else you gonna do to it?

[keefer]

that's why I am now thinking Red Lily so I can leave the letters in carbon.

What's next ? well red then a bit of engine work she made 120HP last year with a 50mm full system. but I would like to put the cams and rods in from the 748SP lump and get it all dyno'd up with the 54's that are on there now.

Money. don't know (or not prepared to say in public) but its still a lot less than a new 996R
when I got the 748SP I never planed to do as much as I have it just kept creeping on. bits here and there. it moves on a wee bit each year.
but then its going to be with me forever now.
so I just keep treating it

[polarexpress]

Why not try this?
