Hello from the Wirral

07-05-2013, 05:43 PM

Just wanted to say hi. I have a 2009 696. Not upgrades as yet but as the cash flow increases so will the carbon on my bike.

So a massive hello from a little girl with a massive passion for bikes and Ducati's

Xx

Carbonitis can seriously affect your wealth...

Hello by the way

It is nice I think. She is nearly 4 and I really hope to keep her. When I got her there was not much stuff around for new bikes so it was harder then. When and if you buy carbon be very careful as so real cheap stuff that's rubbish and not carbon fibre. Also there are different patterns or size of weave that can look wrong or naff. And colours can vary. Take your time to look and avoid china or at your peril.
I do have painted panels too and 2 sets and the carbon ones so its nice to occasionally change the look.
I have Carbon Vanni ( who make Ducati Performance stuff ) tank and centre panels.secondhand as new
DP carbon mono seat secondhand as new
speedo cover
mini fairing not screen that carbon vinyl
oil cooler surround and the 2 air ducts
flapper valve
exhaust heat shield
standard carbon parts front mudguard/belt covers and exhaust rear guards
hand made rear brake reservoir bracket to fit rizoma rear sets
rear hugger
stainless and carbon cable cover near gear lever
front sprocket cover
rear cover on chain guard
Carbon termi's
I think that's it but gives you an idea of what you can get easily.

But foremost enjoy your bike for what it is . The strange thing is that my other bikes are as they should and no more which can be very hard to do.
