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.

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.
