As for colour's ... both toys are shiny red with black wheels .... and that's how they are staying

Panels are QB Carbon red gell coat panels that I have polished with Mer. Great if they get marked as they still show red rather than a paint under coat.

They are designed for a 2003 749/999 (used them on my last 749s) with grey swing arm so had to cut some of the belly pan away to clear the new style arm. Also had to enlarge the side stand cut out a little. Final mod was to drill new holes for the top fairing to pick up the holes in the mirror support's as the 2004 fairing is wider and flatter. Now it's all "fitted" I can do a full swap from road to track kit in 45 mins.

Side bungs are the R&G type that pick up on the engine mounts and frame. I leave the brackets (no bungs) on when I put the road kit back on.

Looks like it's gunna be quite warm with a chance of a shower or two.

Tyre pressures...

Front and rear 30/30 and adjust according to wear and feel.

Yep I agree with Dom (ooerr)

I ran same pressures on mine But I have a diablo corsa front and standard Diablo rear, it would spin up on corner exit (not like Rossi) but it always felt OK.

Guys, thanks for the advice on the tyre pressures.

Will try 30 in both.

Looks like quite a dry day, really looking forward to it.

Have to say the rear brake pipe looks wrong...........get a longer one!


Dont forget to do your tyre pressures cold, first thing!

I checked mine again after a couple sessions and with the heat the pressure rose by 6 psi

Thats why you do it cold! With the extra heat generated on track it could go up double that!!
