Ducati Bling

[Thumper]

This is what I did with my £400 compensation cheque after Pinky the lil Monster was shunted by a taxi.

And here's Pinky

Sorted!

Thanks to Natty Boy for all the lovely parts and Ducati Coventry for spending 3 days trying to figure out what screen fitted the cowling :scratch:

Over winter when I possibly have some more money I am planning on getting it resprayed (still with a pink theme) and getting the engine powder coated back to its former glory. Also to come will be some Oberon parts, Natty has ordered me the polished valve head covers, a dynojet kit and filters.

wicked!! how do you find the mirrors? i am thinking of getting some

[markus]

lookin' good H - lovin' that exhaust!!!! - I wanna see it in the flesh!!!!!

[JerryXt]

congrats Ms T - c'est magnifique!

[Thumper]

The mirrors look lovely Nim but theyre as useful as a chocolate teapot.

I cant see much in them and they vibrate all the time, got some rubber washers to fit tomorrow to see if that helps. They look darn good though! hehehe

The exhausts are mental. I took it for a quick ride today and the fuelling is appalling so Zippy the Z1000 is up for sale so I can get a dynojet kit, filters and a dyno run to sort it all out.

Thanks Markus. Not too great health wise at mo, even me doctor today said "what the f" when he saw me sitting there in leathers. So I wont be riding much until the men in white coats fix me ;) Hopefully I'll make it Sunday to show the Dook off tho :woot:

No, it's cute! Useful too, especially on the power out of Edwinas.

[NattyBoy]

Perfect !.....

[singletrack]

The bike looks great Thumper - I love that screen.

[Nickj]

Pinky? Nope don't see where that came from :scratch:
Looks lovely though
I particularly like the reg plate, think that swirly text will catch on?

[benson]

Looks lovely and all those shiny parts! Well done and wish you better soon so you can ride the beastie all the time!

[Thumper]

LOL thanks everyone.

Oh yes the PINKness does attract lots of attention, negative or not I just like the attention :D

I like my swirly txt numberplate hehe I've got a more "dinky" sized one on order as I swear the current windsail takes at least 10mph off the top speed!

After a ride today on it I still cant get over the exhausts, they sound SO cool and all the traffic moves out of my way!! :devil:

I have a trackday at Silverstone booked on 3rd Sept and I am finding it difficult to not take the Monster over my CBR400 ;)

[dix]

nice bike ! well done

[gary tompkins]

Those pipes do look good - very retro :cool:

Got any more of those polished DPM cam covers Natty?

Would match my belt covers a treat ;)

I have mate - also got the anodised silver finish which I think is the same as the belt covers I sold you GT ?

Also got matching handlebar clamps in silver or polished !

[gary tompkins]

Oooh Oooh - urgent bling alert!!!

You have a PM Natty :woot:

[Shandy]

Looking very good and at last another monster with a toast rack on the back :cool:

[Thumper]

Nahhh its not a Toast rack, its where I keep my biscuits for the tea tray ;)

Hi.....just wondered whether you'd had any luck with the rubber washers for the mirrors ? Did they make any difference ?
I've fitted some very nice carbon tear-drops to my S2R....look fab but also useless. Wasn't great today when trying to avoid what must have been the entire Sussex and Surrey Police Force between Brighton and Gatwick this afternoon.....pulling everyone over for anything by the look of it.
Maybe some rubber will help....
Thanks

[Thumper]

Hi John,

Yes I fitted some rubber washers but it made the mirrors undo themselves :scratch:

Still trying to figure out a way to stop them vibrating so much, as soon as I find one I'll let ya know!

[markus]

mirrors? - thought is was down to 'mirror' now thump? ha ha

[Thumper]

I got my left mirror re-threaded, the right one got lonely. Besides I like to see police cars behind me <whistles> :D

[MilesB]

Oh yes the PINKness does attract lots of attention, negative or not I just like the attention :D
Yeah - with that colour you could be mistaken for His Yerburyness :eek: (That is unless Alex has repainted again?)

[markus]

Besides I like to see police cars behind me

was that a dig H???? why i oughta........

[Thumper]

:chuckle: <whistles>

[John Lloyd]

Thanks re the mirrors....any ideas more than welcome. Maybe if I was a bit faster it wouldn't be too much of a problem, but as they are right now I can literally only just see if there's anything behind me, let alone whether it has blue flashing lights......which isn't good really. If I can't find some way of improving them I may have to put the huge standard ones back on.....
:grump:
