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.

does the seat foam come with the seat that you have on your bike!!!

I've got a Ricambi and its ****e....

have you got a link for the seat!!

Thanks ian

The seat comes with everything you need. It is plug and play which, imo is well worth paying for. Nothing is worse than buying bits that then need to be modded to fit.

Don't ring them you fool!!!!!!!

You'll find a pair on eBay, or of this forum - or you can ring Rich @ Louigi Moto - he could have some.

What's the panic? You not even bought it yet (hurry up!!).

Don't give money to Demon Geeks anyway

Dom,
wanted a ball park figure on the cans before I commited to buy the road bike (in case they were silly money and I'd be better off buying a race bike).
you read it wrong - who's the numpty!
wouldn't give demon geeks my money - they would just be the most expensive, so I'd be well covered...
there is a pair of cans on ebay, but off a monster - anybody know if they are the same?

Glenn has a race ready race winning 620ss for sale..for a very decent price...throw a few more dollars at it to make it top spec....all the work is done really , just a few tweaks to make it yours.?.....surely its gotta be better than starting again with a road bike....its race prooven.?

[rich-racing.co.uk]

looked at glenns bike at donington.the bike I'm looking at is road reg'd which i would want, and glenns is french import, and also, the road bike has done 1400 miles from new and is immaculate, for very little more money. with DD it's more a race winning rider than a bike i think.

Hi-levels. eBay is your friend cos they aint so easy to get new these days. I will have a set of hi-levels in carbon available at the end of the year when I get my new underseat exhaust system from the USA - currently they ar eon my 800ss racer.

You could always try MHP or Renegade for a custom-system. They are good at this sort of thing.
