Just a question about full bellypan

Albie · 07-04-2006, 12:46 PM

Hi peeps just got full carbon bellypan and just about to fit. Obvious for point fixing but I take it you have to remove side stand ??? Best get paddock stand on then.

Depends which version you have - the earlier one had a metal tab on the rear nearside to mount it, which doesn't require the side stand to be removed, the later version the carbon fibre lug is sandwiched between the sidestand plate and the engine, so it will need removing...

Than said, if you are using the standard hangers, you'll have to remove them intially to fit either version anyway, which means you probably will need that paddock stand, or at least ask Caroline to hold the bike upright for a few minutes...

Its all sorted now thanks Jen. It must be the later type. I need to make a front tab about 35mm long or a 10mm dia tube spacer with a 40-50mm long bolt for front mount. Hmmmmm. All looks good a fairly rigid for the run tomorrow. Had to dremel a little off the front as exhaust touching and left hand side at rear exit.

Hi Albie,

Did the stickers/transfers come with it or do you know if I am able to buy these seperately? Been thinking about tarting up my standard bare bellypan!

They came already on it. It belonged to Simon ( marchesini ). I have none on my bike except Brembos. LOL

Oi Carbon boy!

Bolt much more of that CF on and the S4 will float away on the breeze

Note - I've avoided this problem on mine by bolting extra wheels on. Seems to have done the trick.... so far?

You can't ever have enough Carbon on a Ducati Gary!!!

I'll contact marchesini and see if he knows where to get hold of these decal kits. Unless anyone else knows of where they lurk........

Ah but I have to carry water and four extra valves and a rad.
