Nice one Ruth, shame she is not yellow, but never mind, for your track fairing give Dave a ring at http://www.hcracetech.co.uk/, he will do a good paint job on it as well. Chris.   |

There you are, I've just looked at those track fairings and thought 'how gorgeous'. How can I have changed my mind so completely about the 749 look? I'm not buying until the start of next season but thanks for the link Chris. I fancy shiny black for the track, although I still have the problem of needing to ride to track days so I'm not sure that I'll go the whole hog on the fairings, just the side panels and the mono seat unit. I do want a cover for the bip seat straight away though. I'll give Dave a call. Cheers. |

Dave does have a 749 road nose fairing that he still has not made a mould from yet, so if you badger him enough he will sort you a road & track nose fairing, also he can do full black no problem. Chris. |

Thanks Chris. Just spoken to him about the mono seat for now and the fairings for next year. The nose cone isn't a problem as he can do a road legal one. So looks like I'll have to find storage space for a full set of track fairings. The fastenings look a bit more tricky than the 996 but it is the kind of fiddling around I enjoy so I'm sure I'll master it with a bit of practice. I need to get the bike here before I can decide on what cutom paint job I want for the mono seat unit. As with all my purchases, I will do a bit of research but prices look good, I have to say. |

| Great stuff Ruth another one come over to the "dark side" with a 749/999  Pity you can't make next week  we collect our new bikes tomorrow ready for the Scotland trip, ideal for running them in I guess  I got my trackday kit (black) from QB carbon prepreg black, I had to do a bit of trimming on the belly pan for the swingarm as their bellypan was taken from an early 999 but that's literally a 10 minute job.So when are we going to see this bike then? |

| They're not Itailian  But they are European, someone else on here has one of their range that I know of, it's a watercooled twin and usually they're orange in colour but we've gone for stealth black |

| Jon, as Oulton park is now my favourite track and your house is my favourite hotel for that venue, first chance next season, I should think I knew you and Claire had bought new bikes as Mike told me but what did you buy? I hope you have a great trip. I'm sure you will but I don't feel too bad about missing this one as I'm thoroughly looking forward to the Brands Hatch evening and obviously picking up the new bike the day after will be a highlight in an otherwise ... thoroughly exciting year, actually  |

Enjoy the new toy, I've always liked the bike .... just think you need to get them out of the showroom and in to the real world. This shows them off at their best. As for the Track fairings. Agree with JPM. I have the QB red set that are pre impregnated with the red .... no scratches to worry about Their fairing without the light cut outs will actually go over the headlights without having to take them off. All I do is take the fuse out of the low beam to stop it melting the fairing. I posted some pic's of my 749r in the QB track fairings. They will do gloss balck as well. |
