Interesting idea. What did you use to cut the cf sheet?

Thanks for the photo, Mart. That's much neater; good job, Albie. The button head screws finish it off nicely. I may well give that a try.

(He's now the man behind Redmax - have a look here at some of his interesting customized Ducatis http://www.redmax-ducati.co.uk/).

Anyway, I only popped in for some service items for my M900 and Steve gave me a copy of the Ducati Performance Monster Catalogue. I couldn't believe the range of goodies on offer. Well, I was hooked and the rest, as they say, is history.

Hi, my name's Vincent and...

You've got a bad case of carbonitis!

Good job of matching up the carbon parts, ot can be a cosmetic nightmare with different shades and weaves.

Just a hacksaw and file and a drill. Wear a mask though You could use a dremel mind. It's not as hard as steel

Mate, you've got it BAD! Looks really great though, well done.

So often you see people go too far or, just as bad, buy a bike and immediately list all the things up front that they're going to do to it, without a hope of knowing what actually 'goes' with what and invariably it ends up like a complete dog's dinner. You appear to have taken a more measured approach though and the results are obvious. It's super nice.

Having said all that, deduct half a point for the raised badges, I rather hate those, but luckily we all don't like the same things, right?!

Oh, and I think it would be a nice idea to post a couple of shots of the whole bike too, just to show off the sum of the parts...

No, I don't agree with raised badgers either, they are much better off left in the wild.

Thanks, Bob. Since you asked so nicely, how could I refuse?! (Any excuse for another photo!)

I remember reading with interest your upgrade thread back in January, Chris. I look forward to watching this year's track day video to see how many seconds they shave off your lap time!
