On thaqt theory why have we even bothered to have Ducatis?

A 999 is a cheap 999s is a cheap 999r is a cheap bsb spec is a cheap wsb spec..............

I think a carbon air box is the biz, a pair od imitation covers are........imitation covers. What purpose do they serve?
At least my crappy 999r std ohlins are a bit lower down the scale.......and any way i agree, so lets have 25mm inserts upgrade fitted.......

I think they are quite a good idea. but price as with everything is the key.
I already have a full carbon air box but would still consider them, as a way of making it up to the moor modern quick release side panel model

I think for us on a budget they offer a chance to have a high spec look for a fraction (hopefully) of the price. If they turn out to only be a bit less then the cost of a full airbox then there is no point is there.

Agreed

For the same reason we have white number boards on the front or back.........

No purpose, but to look nice.

Just my 2-pence worth

ok boys;)

Well the reasone behind these for me anyway is this!

Firstly . i do have a carbon Airbox and in truth it Gains me Jack ****!

I have weighed both carbon and standard boxes and there is not a nats cock in it:D

when a bike /car/lorry is made the manufacturer spends millions on Reasearch and development,and to this end normaly comes out with somthing that is "A" durable,"B" cost efective and so on:D

so we then find the need to throw away this wealth of knowledge and replace it with what is no more in (ROAD) terms than a piece of cosmetic junk:D

wich usualy cost's in this case (CARBON AIRBOX) £350.00 ish

so my idea was simply to make for (myself) and trading of the back of all the reasearch and developmentFrom ducati!!!

a substitute , cosmetic part that will still give you the look of a full carbon air box(And beleive me it does) for a fraction of the price of a full carbon airbox!;)

But i can tell you for a fact if ducati came up with the idea then most of you would be floking to the shop to buy them!!!!!:lol::lol:

just my opinion:smug:

ps i'm on a budget and i know a lot of the guys on here are to!!
