Time to start modding
Well now both bikes have gone its time to start modding. Not too much but the usual things. I have made a start today with hopefully a bargain compared to DP parts prices. Just got a carbon front sprocket cover. They are different shape to the usual monster a good marketing ploy by Ducati there then
It was a buy it now price so no bidding at £39.99 which compared to ducatis £79.99 is a bargain. Not sure whether to leave doing the pressure plate and cover until after the first service. I have these items already. Most importantly is the crash bungs on front wheels and frame. Im looking at the R&G site and around the £110 and a bit for both. If anyone knows of a site cheaper can you let me know but for 696/1100 . The exhausts I really want to do. Waiting on a set. really annoyed at myself as I was watching the sale of top carbon fibre tank keyguard piece retailing at over £180. Forgot to log on yesterday and went for £50 1 bid.

You could get a set of these for the frame (simply bolt to it):
Barracuda Crash Bungs You can get some discrete fork protectors that look like your bar-ends from JHP for about £15. If you go for the carbon hugger, you can get a complimentary carbon chain guard that finishes the job off nicely from carbonworld.de |

No it wasnt and am very interested in seeing the quality. Its says its aviation quality and better than dp but will wait and see. For the price I hoping its a good deal. Its also stated as UV stabilised so no fading.

Well after a service and a clean
After the service came the ride home with some new bits and some cr4ppy weather for 200 miles. A 2 hour clean bought her back and some new bits came out the cupboard with some more this coming week. Yep more carbon as I need to now get the weight back down as the crash protectors added quite a bit.
The clutch cover was removed for the anodised JHP pressureplate and rizoma clutch cover which I have modified with a carbon fibre 5 pointed affair. 3mm just cut to shape and filed smooth. I just need to relaquer it now. The carbon fibre tank top and lower protecter were on the wish list and I got sucked into buying them yesterday. What is it with some mechanics cant put things on properly. I had to take it off when got home as the rubber seal gasket was poking out 3-4mm in places and none in others. Took me 10 minutes to sort . The carbon fibre sprocket cover bought for £39.99 not dp but as good quality and the R&G crash protectors The front R&G crash protectors. And 2 side shots. Not like this for long I can tell you That tail is going in the plastic parts bin
