Isn't it easier to vaccum the garage one, rather than replacing it?

tbh I prefer the jhp one. Theres something that fascinates me about an unfeasable amount of attention, care and bling on 749/999.
I can admire bling on all bikes but i think these are a bit special.
Beautiful bike sharpy.

Samco hoses and stainless clips arrived today from Racebikebitz.com, thanks Richard

see this thread for discount details and ordering info : http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...ad.php?t=57665

hopefully I'll get these fitted with a few other bits over the Christmas break

doogalman 18-Dec-2007 07:10

Better make sure you got some "Pro-Cool" to fill her up again after they are fitted.

is that liquidised carbon ?

Sharpy G 01-Jan-2008 01:32

31st Dec 2007

so thanks to Doogalman .......I didn't just finish up 2007 building Ikea furniture

We managed, not without with some gnashing of teeth & a couple of bolts made of 'formaggio' to fit my Magnesium headlamp casing

very nice it looks too !

I even made up the carbon mirrors later

So here's to my New Years resolution of fitting the stuff I've bought instead of just keeping it in boxes

Oh yeah, and getting out and riding more in '08

cheers Doog's !!










'Felice Anno Nuovo' to one and all !

doogalman 01-Jan-2008 01:34

We do the brake this week. Bell me sometime and we will sort out a day.

Then you may be able to keep up with the 996:lol:

new Rear brake caliper, new disc, new sprocket, underslung caliper conversion, new brake pipe and Ti wheel nut (bling-tastic)




new oofa-doofa thingy on the end of the alternator ? :lol:



ooh......... ahhh........... factory Corse clutch cover



the whole sexy thang !



very happy now........ off to bed
