| WSB style can for 749 / 999
The can is designed to fit without a heat shield. As there is no restriction in the can it runs much cooler than the standard can and does not need one. The can that I have for sale is a stainless item that can be supplied mirror polished or in a brush finish. This is not just a track day item, OK it's not street legal but most Dukes don't have street legal cans. This does sound like a 916 style bike with Termigs. So far I've not heard a 749 / 999 sound any good yet.
The Carbon tank is not a Ducati item, it is however styled on one. I had the tank made last year way before Ducati launched the 749R. When I say the whole bike is carbon I'm not exaggerating - full fairing with the mould taken from a Ducati Corse race bike, tank, seat unit, front mud guard, vee piece, heat shields, belt covers, clutch cover, sprocket cover etc etc. The bike will be run this year in carbon and may be painted next year.
The frame has the removable spars just like the WSB bike, for the road it's more show than actual use. Does look good though when anyone spots them.
This is the bike that Ducati borrowed for their stand at Ally Pally 2004. If you send me an e-mail I can send a few more photo's showing the bodywork and can in more detail.  |
