I hope they fit as Ive just won them! I had seen them a couple of days ago (before you posted)

good price .... take 15 minutes to fit ...

was out all day so missed it ,so you had better post some pics when you fit them ...:lol:

Right! these airtubes arrived today, They do not look as good a quality as the rest of the DP carbon on my bike and the weave of the carbon looks slightly different? Also the finish is poor and it looks to me as if some attempt has been made to relaquer them as there are areas that can be easily scratched with a finger nail! There is no DP logo and no captive nut for the indicator mountings? Should they be? If you look at the ad for them on ebay he does say there is no logo but he has also advertised them as DP items and I have the feeling they are not.

Can anyone please advise whether they sound genuine as I dont think they are.

Thanks

This is what they should look like.

Yes Ive seen those and dp logo apart they look identical to mine. However what I really need to know is do proper DP ones have a captive nut for the indicators? As the ones I received do not and it would be fiddly to have to somehow reach inside and place a nut on the bolt. I feel these are not proper DP items and am thinking of asking for my money back. Also on the ones I have there are 2 pop rivets on the lower edge near the front that hold in place a small flap inside the tubes which I assume is to hold oe air filter in place? Have genuine dp tubes got these 2 pop rivets?

Anyone with genuine items help! I am going to ask for a refund as I am not happy bought the laquer flaking off, but if I can confirm they are not genuine dp items as well that will help.

A lot of you guys get these items, what extra do you get from the standard tubes, is it just that they look better and are lighter......:puzzled:

Think you may be on a bit of a sticky wicket, as they are secondhand, quoted vgc, not perfect & he covered his back by saying that he believed them to be Ducati Performance parts.
As to the weave of the carbon, DP have used more than one supplier for it's carbon products, so that would easly count for that. Also it is an auction, so you take your chances, I guess you can ask the guy, but for the price you paid you seem to have got a good deal. You could also put them back up on ebay & maybe make a profit on the sale:D
