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.

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

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 ?

Could be up for a blast sunday earlyish before Mugello. Of to Biggin Hill saturday.

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

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

whaddya think of my carbon seat unit then ?

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

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.

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)

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

workin' on it m8 ! LOL

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.

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

Caliper arrived today.........bling !
 

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.

New Ergal AT Corse Pressure plate and Red Caps
 

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

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?

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!!!! ;-)

Andy
 

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 ?

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

Ian hope the Boss knows you have ordered the pipes ?

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.

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
what a great bunch of guys !!
made me feel right at home there, workshop tour, cuppa etc
saw 3 749Rs in there for work
I even picked myself up some early birthday presents when I was there
thanks again to John n Dave !!

Didn't like the one fitted by the factory then!!!!
