Jools, are you on the payrole at CSS?

all your braking should be over as you enter the corner, more chance of the front washing out on you if you apply the front stopers.:puzzled:

:eureka: yeah i know that but in a emergency on my old r6 you could if needed apply the front brakes but thats impossible on the 748 as it just sits you upright :roll:

A used set of mag wheels. Definitely the best upgrade you can make after Superbike school.

Kenny Roberts "Slow in, Fast out" pick your line early and let the suspension, frame, tyres and forks do their job in the corner. They won't perform as well under braking. Trust me you will be quicker, a Ducati is designed to corner quickly not to enter a corner too fast and then try and corner with the brakes on.

The R6 is designed for Monkeys... :sing:

£500 !! I would be looking at lighter wheels,as Shazaam says 2nd hand mags or if you have the 3 spokes a upgrade to the 5 spokes will save some weight, get some money back on the old wheels.
Also worth considering are adjustable rearsets, can add a bit of comfort and also look good (unless they are like my Harris ones and plastered in dirt all the time)
Get your front internals sorted, I know you say they are done but I can trail my brake right into the apex if I have to on my revalved and resprung forks (having to refers mainly to race meetings).
Brembo Radial mastercylinder is a nice upgrade as is lower gearing and a Renthal or Talon rear sprocket carrier.
If you don't fancy a slipper clutch then a lightweight race clutch will help the engine spin up quicker.

Sorry to hear your not doing the Desmo Due, but hopefully there will be next year.

next year for sure mate

good suggestions,

forks ared one, got the sprocket carrier, new sprockets will be fitted at next service, p34's on the way, rearsets would be nice at the right price
