999R F04 nose fit an F05 ?
 

I'm sure I posted this earlier, but it's gone 'walkabouts' - my ISA log's even say it was posted.......
:puzzled:
Anyone know if a 999R F05 (single pair front air intakes) - nose will fit an F04 (air intakes and air defusers) 999R and support the F04 999R side panels ?

F04 and F05???? Factory bikes as in race bikes? They'll use the pierobon bracket and it's a nosecone and sides with a seperate belly pan.

Or do you mean MY04 and MY05 "road" bikes? if so yes as far as I am aware it's merely cosmetic for the R model, the R model also came with slightly wider nosecone over the other models, but all models from 05 onwards had the same width.

The easy answer is yes in theory

Sorry, I meant the 'homolgation 999R MY04 - MY05 models' :burn:

So as long as the nose cone is from an 'R' model then it will fit.

Thanks heaps.:sing:

No The r is wide 05 then the 04 and the backets are diffrent i tried. To bad. Hope that saved you some money.

I understood all R models are the wide fairing.......................its just whether they are vented ot not.

All R's had wider nosecones than the other models until 05 when all models were the same as the R.

The 04 model had carbon brackets to mount the nosecone to, whereas I think 05/06 models have magnesium brackets that was the major difference and also affected the nosecone width

Mine has magnesium mounting brackets, I understood all "R" models did. I'll check with JHP before I go bidding :lol:

Fila on the e bay see you there. Hope you get the lot as i will be playing too. We could have one side each.

Not Ducati items so i just found out. Top fairing not Ducati item rear end not Ducati item. The R was a damage insurance job, done up then couldn't sell the thing. So broke it. I a mate said it been around for ages. On here somewhere with the damage before and after.

best laugh i have had in ages some won the top fairing so else the one side have to go see who wins the other bits. Take a look :D:sing:

I remember that one, a Welsh guy rang me a couple of times this week when I had my 999R up on eBay. He said he went all the way to see it and found out it was a total rip-off. The guy had repaired the majority of it with none Ducati parts and was trying to sell it as an original 999R.
I'm keeping mine now .... Mmmmmm ! :bouncy:

The widths are different, but those are ok as its only about 10mm... but the problem is the connection tabs to the side fairings...they are different.

03/04 nose can only be connected to 03/04 left/right side fairings.... while the '05/06 nose can only connect to 05/06 sides.
