I got home today from the meet and set about seeing if the Rizoma Fluid Pots would fit without me spending more money on bracketry.

I successfully fitted without having to blled them as I have some pipe crimps so no air gets in the pipes.

Im happy with the Brake but the clutch fluid level window faces the wrong way. I may have to source some new pipes with the ability to flex better or have preformed bends.

Happy they look better anyway and not plastic. The original Brake ones always get paint rot.

Looking good

Love the carbon too!

Albie · 08-03-2010, 09:18 PM

Cheers Martin.

I wonder if anyone knows of the possibility of some angled pipe fittings or pipe with 90 bends preformed or some different pipe.

Glad they fit Albie - looking good!

Albie · 08-03-2010, 09:50 PM

Yes they fit but you would have faced a similar problem that they are universal to all bikes but the pipe work doesnt fit properly to be neat.

Will silicon pipe like Samco Hose stand up to brake fluid or stainless braided fuel line.

I must thank you John for giving me the oppertunity of first dibs on the seat and rearsets.Yes it cost me some money and 4 hours travelling 270 miles but it will make my bike look so much nicer. Its sad to lose a monster from the club but no doubt the new owner will appear but fact is that you get another duke and I get the chance to get a bargain.

Thanks mate.

Yes folks I have some more carbon fibre but only can use when the missus not on the bike. Yep thats rare

Also have to buy rizoma pillion pegs now too.

My pleasure Andy as I know you will enjoy them on your bike,I'm missing them already but has helped to fund my new carbon fetish :-)

Albie · 26-09-2010, 05:30 PM

Well at least my other half was impressed with the bits but shocked at the fact I have to ay out for the pillion rizomas. I am ordering them tomorrow just to please her if not the standards have to stay on otherwise I get slapped. Do NOT comment anybody

Thanx mate. I didn't actually realise that the white on it is the ducati white like mine. I thought it may be white vinyl or paint. Im thinking things you know.

Maybe them carbon panels on ebay.aus and get them painted on the sides white with a red pinstripe with ducati through the natural carbon. Oooooh missus more expense but it will have to wait a few months. £200 for rear pillion pegs

That's sounds a good idea :-) yes when I bought them I thought it was going to be a different white so was very pleased to find it matched.

Guys that not my bike thats Johns one. The bits are in my front room in a HUGE box waiting to go on and then a last ditch pic in case the calendar pics dont get full. Did I remind everyone that we are asking for pics and not just the usual peeps.

buzzbomb · 26-09-2010, 08:13 PM

Andy when you get on the phone tomorrow order the rizoma brackets for the fluid pots it just looks so much better than the SS strips that come with the pots.
well thats my 2cents..
