I'm looking, i'm looking!! I must say that I'm favouring the 749R over the 999R at the mo, they just seem a bit more "special" to me.

But I might just wait for the road Desmosedidicihichechithingy to come out!!!!

Now I don't reckon you'll get a Bip seat on that!!!!!!

I knew I knew I knew...

Does this mean the king (996R) is dead?

Tim,its a piece of pee to change subframes and seat units.There are no other components to change over during the conversion.The exhaust and electrics all stay where they are.With practice it can be done in around 30-40 mins.

Don't ask me why I want to do it as I take offence easily

- but is it a matter of just switching the subframe and seat unit (obviously)?

Or are there other considerations for this? movement of components etc, etc.....

Anyone done this?
