Hi,

Below a link that explain what to do and what you get. I think I somewhere read that this kit was about 500-600 £ ex gaskets and labour.

The BCM Ducati (USA) kit is 920cc, 11,5:1 comp., $1195 retail, 8 hours labour, gaskets $200.

Probably a little more pricey. Here's a link to a kit from Kaemna in Germany with the 924 conversion listed at 1,380 Euros.

I like the theory behind big bore engines though...keep the revvy nature of the 749 with a good deal more grunt.

Whether it's worth doing is a different matter, I would have thought that the price of doing it once the costs of all the sundry items, labour and setup time had been added you'd be better off part exchanging for a 999

are the valves on a 749 the same size as a 999, if not you will not get the same bhp, just a thought.

thanks for the help, moto-one is where i've read it before.
i would chop it in for a 999 but i'm not sure it would be cheaper as mines done 13000 and the big service has been done at carl harrisons (top man) as opposed to a dealer (who comically quoted me "up to £900") so trade in wouldn't be great.
i've ridden mine through every type of weather and (wood touched) no problems as yet so i know i've got a good 'un plus we all like to be a little different
i'll have to weigh up the options at the end of summer

Well, depend were you are living . In DK the price differens is about 7.000£ 749 contra 999, so ? In DK we buy 1 and pay for 3 .
