Looking stunning - the wheels are ace - really unique.
Carbon chain guard and contrasting sprocket cover and nuts - finish the back end a treat |

Can't find a carbon chain guard anywhere, gloss plain weave.

Or...
Slightly cheaper at €72 (before postage) but with a 4-6 week wait. https://www.carbonworld.de/kettensch...ducati/a-11721 |

Fitted one of those to my Evo 3 weeks ago, the sticky strips they give you are not the best, suggest using a very small amount of silicon as well as the strips. And yes the rear wheel must be removed to fit. |

Thanks. The painful thing is the high prices versus the size of the chain guard. Best get doing some overtime

The worst bit is usually trying to match the exact weave of any existing carbon

You need tank panels next and rear sub frame too.

Looks good against your new wheel colour, Doggy. Looks like the weave is a good match for your hugger too. I think the idea is to stick the carbon guard on top of the plastic one using the same mounting bolt. I would have done what you did though and cut the original guard off.

Left the original chain guard on, just removed the rear wheel, cleaned the original part of chain guard with brake cleaner, undid the 1 retaining screw, applied the sticky strips, placed over original part of the chain guard and replaced the screw and then the rear wheel.

I had these red panels I bought off of Geoff painted up in Ducati Corse colours .Had the tank grills painted black also instead of silver . Fitted them with a carbon mudguard also bought from him . I fitted it all with the little red frontcowling, but think I prefer it with the small carbon clock cover . After the expense of buying the panels etc and having them painted I'm not 100%sure I like it!, from the side it looks like too much black? I guess it will grow on me! . At the moment I think the white is my favourite .

Buzzbomb lives on in a lot of our bikes, I think. My S4R scheme started off as a set of white bodywork that I bought off Geoff.
I like what you've done there, Colin, the Corse scheme is one of my favourites and is one of the few that, in my opinion, works well with the red frame. Also goes well with your wheels too. Re the tank grilles, It's a pity I didn't know of your plans earlier because, when I ordered my latest carbon edged grilles, they came with black mesh, which I popped out and replaced with the standard silver. I'd have happily given you the redundant black ones! You're certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to colour schemes now! |

I quite like that. The clocks are almost as big as the fairing anyway!
