All i would say is when /if the pipe was a bit longer you could of routed the pipe on the outside of the rear hugger away from the tyre, just to give a bigger safety margin.

piccie of my route

Andy, your hose seems to have a different fitting on the master cylinder to the one I got, I was initially going to route the hose near the gearchange side as per original but the 90deg fitting that came with the new hose hit the frame meaning that it had to be routed the exhaust side of the frame.

I was going to route the hose like yours but found that if I used the original rubber hose clip on the inside of the swinging arm and a tie wrap either on the hugger or the caliper bracket the hose was miles away from the wheel/disc/tyre so I just left it as standard.

Got some more bits arriving this week and another set of Diablo Corsa 3s even though I said that I would not spend any more !!! Addictive or what ?

Its only money.......................

Yes it is, but I havent got any !!

and your point...................

Exactly !!

No money but got to get the bits like all of us, great things credit cards, 6 weeks before I need to pay for things then off I go again, got the dates timed to perfection.

Once went 2 years without paying 1p on a £2k credit card bill, opened a few cards and as soon as they were due transferred the balance, 6 weeks later on to another one then started all over again, great.

Only got one card now and no debt !

has anyone tried to get the ducati rear stand under the swingarm after installing one of these brkts on an early 999

I use a 998 side entry stand anyway, and allways did even with the old swing arm! The 999 later bobbin type stand still fits..........

Andy, does the 998 single side stand fit into the wheel spindle or does it need to be machined to suit ?

I always found the single sided stand much easier to use when you are alone, I dread lifting and lowering the bike by myself with my micron stand even with the large R&G bobbins fitted.
