http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18862

As if I've worn the old ones out ! :lol:

And nice, but no !

Clue: billet, black, Japanese & probably unnecessary, but very nice !

Japanese !!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Go wash your mouth out. This site is for Ducati's
:D

All done in honour of Haga San ! ;)

Velly Lerriable !

You fitted this lot to the 749r already, or are you getting another bike in kit form??

Not yet :lol:

Fatherly duties etc

But soon ;)

got these too:

not black, billet or Japanese

but very light and very nice

Ti race spec front caliper bolts from ProBolt

So:

After looking around for about a year for some replacement clutch and brake levers more in keeping with the bike, after considering the excellent offerings from CRG/ASV/Pazzo.................I decided that altho' nice kit, I was seeing them fitted to almost every bike out there, nowt wrong with them but ......

I wanted something just a little different;
maybe less 'blingy' , more Brembo race look, black, billet, preferably flip up & with the option of a L/H mounted remote adjuster for the brake

(didn't Rossi look cool in that on bike footage when he busted up the inside overtaking whilst adjusting his front brake :lol:)

So up 'till now I had found nothing that ticked all the boxes

many thanks to Jamie @ Performance Pars Ltd. for sorting these out for me
made by Active in Japan, top quality stuff and exactly what I was looking for !

They look like Harley things to me, still if you want to fit rubbish to the blingmobile that`s up to you!

Couldn't you do with some flip-up levers Bob?

They won't break when you walk past your bike in the garage, to get to the wine-rack :lol:

How about these Accossato ones that JHP supply?


http://www.ducaticoventry.com/news_events.asp?BRA_ID=3859&FRC_ID=617&PAGE_CODE=W IDE

Seen them, nice but not billet machined, look more like the standard levers

That 'rear caliper envy' gets you everytime ! ;)

Bitch!

It's about time you gave it a good thrashing on a track, isn't it???
:rolleyes:

The Ring ?

Better invest in a new chain first ?!

almost time for an update ;-)

I thought you'd been abducted by aliens :alien:

LOL s'pose he did look a bit like an alien when he was born ;-)

He lives...........I saw him with my own eyes at Box Hill last Sunday!
he also had this strange red shiney/carboney thing with him.........I think..it...was...a...749....RRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

and we were both there again today ! LOL

saved a staggering 16 grams on my new cush drive today ;)

off to the anodisers with ya
 

Far too many shiney silver bits appearing on the baby R so..........

off to A1 Anodisers in Crawley today, apparently will be done by tomorrow afternoon too ! and for a very reasonable price
