They do look better in black nige, and that is a good pic, but ...

the designer in me just cringes looking at the style lines going in all different directions - it looks like a parts bin bodywork special because of those strange lines

the engineer in me looks at the compromises in the rear end of the frame to put a passenger and luggage capable tail on - its a touring frame

Mind you, I would probably pay you money to have a ride on yours
I'm sure the view from the cockpit is much better

Ricambi Weiss in Germany do them, but Antoine has a contact in France I think who does some nice stuff.

Rich, drop Ali a PM, he gets through more panels than most

Also, you may have to wait until tomorrow to get more info as half the club are at Cadwell Park.



Have you bought that bike yet?

The rubber pad just pulls off - getting the double-side foam tape off is another matter altogether. The bodywork is from Ricambi Weiss in Germany.They have an eBay shop but, it's cheaper to buy direct from them...just Google. The seat is from Ducati Kaemna in Germany (expensive but it fits straight away). Don't buy the Ricambi seat - it's ****.

I talk to a lad who races an 800ss in the USA. He has 999 bodywork on it - apparently it goes on well with very little modification.
