bit like saying naomi campbell was a model and so was belle Emberg......

if you say so mate ! LOL

personally I don't think the extra cc's the 999R is carrying constitute it being compared to Bella ;)

ahhhhhhhhhh I get it, Softly Softly & Z Cars ! ;)

Anodising all done and collected from A1 in Crawley

very nice job too and all for a tenner !

new levers
 

JHP rear brake lever & Corse race pattern gear lever, freshly anodised black and now fitted with some very nice 'Corse' Titanium/Nylon toe pegs, courtesy of www.ducatiracesupport.com

and the Moto Corse rear underslung brake hanger now also looks far more stealthy too ;)

Corse rearsets
 

I know, probably a little 'anal' ;) but I've always liked attention to detail and I think the Corse Rearsets look much better mounted with the spacers now in black too ! :)

Probolt Titanium bolts (and nuts)
 

a 'not very heavy' package arrived from Probolt yesterday

Ti race spec bolts for the master cylinder mounts, steering damper mounts, rear brake caliper, chain adjuster block (spindle puller ;)) and rear wheel speed sensor.

Ti bolts & nuts for the rear subframe mounts

Ti front fork pinch bolts

Ti heel guard mount bolts & nuts

not only light, very light, .................... but soooooo pretty ;)

DOH ! dropped the bloody o ring from the steering damper mount down the back of the fairings last night so gotta take it all back off this morning ! LOL

Still, gives me an excuse to fit the subframe bolts ! ;)

Well.........today the sun was out, so, so was I ! LOL

and our 2 days away from 7 months baby boy decided to give the baby R a go too !!

many thanks to Doogalman and Flo' for his 'leathers'

hope you all had a good Ducati day !





Hayden, hangin' off ! ;)

started fitting the new rear brake setup this evening

I have to say, I am very pleased with how it looks so far ! :)

got told I had to come in tho' for my dinner so I'll have to finish it later in the week LOL

G

The bike is just.... well, not enough words for it!! :);)

How do you compare the monoblocs compared to the standard radials? Are you using same discs as before?

Once you're done with the rear brake, please comment on that too.

Thanks :):cool:

thanks !

the monoblocs certainly appear to have more initial bite than the standard radials, was worried they were a bit 'wooden' to start with, but that went off as the pads bedded in. Im using the Brembo fully floating WSB discs with them now tho'

Will comment on the rear brake for you too once it's on and bled, and this terrential rain stops so I can get out ;) LOL
