learnt something today... that there is more than one variation of v pieces?? and there was me thinking that they where pretty much standard (with execption to the later models that do need to expose the rocker cover)
I have just brought a DP v piece that is a poor fit for for my 748 - the apeture for the oil cooler is much bigger as is the rocker cover gap. I can make it fit but its very poor and when put next to my standard piece is totaly different albeit a fraction of the weight!
The 998 (testastreta model) v-piece is very different from the 748/9xx v-piece. I wasn't aware that there were variations in the 748/916 model v-pieces. Maybe the RS engine had a different v-piece.
Bikes: MTS12S, R1, off road stuff, and vintage stuff too.

if your looking to shift the 998 one u2u me a price for it, and I might take it off your hands Assuming it will fit the 998 of course. If you still have the box tell me the part number and I'll check it.
I have a 2001 748 R and can confirm that its the one on the right that fits my bike and not the one on the left (see pic earlier in thread). I have yet to get a DP part number. The part number of the incorrect model is 18088 if that helps.
I am looking for DP parts only, as such I have a carbon peice that you are welcome to at the moment, fits fine (currently on bike) , let me know. This one has a gauze over the gap which is cool. (see attached).
I guess my only other advice is not to buy one that has the wide shallow gap for the oil cooler. the 748 needs the deeper fit.
On a different note, how do you find the WSB casoli fairing? look nice on the website and if i could find DP parts a defo one for the shopping list.
