God was looking over me today. Been watching the Bay over the last week and made a strong max bid of £111 to keep the wolves back. Put my bid in at 8 this morning as it finished at 12.53 and prepared to lose it. Got home tonight and I have a Brand new carbon fibre nose fairing retailing at Ducati prices £200 but mine for £55. Marvellous . Unused too.

They are only tiny and no way worth the asking price. Just need that tinted screen that no one seems to make. May have to get the aerosol out.

Can be :eyepopping: I missed out on a seat cover the other week. I was determined not to lose the well kind of fairing. Diffusor :scratch::scratch:Ive had some good deals though. You have to have some luck sometimes. I paid more for the oil cooler centre frame.:Furious:

Expensive stuff that CF disease Albie, if you start, that's it. I never started on the Monster as I know how I would end up. Done that with the RSV and I doubt I'll get back half of what I've spent when I sell it. That said the 996 has looooots of carbon and I've just ordered some more..

Albie, Albie , Albie, will you ever, ever learn.

Maybe you should stick it on FleaBay for half a dozen Ponies. (£150) :eyepopping:

Only one coat though, otherwise you'll lose the 40gram weight saving!
