Lol.....It's going to drive you nuts now, just think what the last 5 months have been like for me......Now you can see why the wife left for 2 months:D

What about throwing some ideas of this around in your head.

Hi Cali....Carbonvani are not doing a 70mm shield at the moment, so you could be in luck when you decide not to use the pass pegs as they might have one by then.

I have the clutch cover and 70mm heat shield from the DP stock and although it doesnt look bad it still has tiny pin holes in it....means a fair bit of work if you want to gloss them without bubbles.

Thanks Wallaroo. I decided to go with a full Termi system. Today I examined where the the cuts have to be made in the Termi manifold carbon shield to allow the passenger pegs. I told the techie at the shop to install the full Termi and the passenger pegs.

No worries Cali....I am going to do the same, except I am going to rub mine back and gloss it to go with the rear hugger.


Some more pics for you carbon lovers:D

I know this is more about carbon fibre, but I thought you might like to see some brembo levers that are available for the Pani.

Aaaaaah

I'm upping my medical insurance AND visiting my bank manager

I'm not sure whether I owe Wallaroo a beer or whether Wallaroo owes my missus an explanation. :p

I'd hate to see him in a toy/hobby shop with radio control gear ... But I guess Ducati dealers and accessories shops are just "the ultimate" toy shops :D

I think it'll be the latter!!! LOL

@ Wallaroo, bike is going to look wicked! Looking at those levers, beautiful!!!....... but I just know they must cost a small fortune, seeing as they come in their own wooden box!

They are a work of art. Struggling with how you'd cope with actually bolting them on ... I would have to just show the box to all friends explaining how exquisite these pieces of work are! :D:D

Wallaroo, I am seriously going to have to lift my game - all of us will have to! This bike of yours will be beyooootiful :D:D
 
Thanks guy's, Light, fast with looks to kill is my aim:D

Delta...They are not to bad considering how good they look.

All good mate....Just call me the woman whisperer:D
So Ill see you for a beer then.

A beer it is

Half way between Sydney and Byron would be about Scott's Head or Uralla (depending on whether via coast or New England)

A good ride either way, but inland would give me Bucketts Way and you the run to Armidale ... Nicer ;)

Just gotta get the new bike :eek:

Will do. I pick the bike up tomorrow.
 
Made My Decision

As stated earlier in this post I am riding 2.5 hours down to my dealership to have first service conducted and whole bunch of carbon accessories installed. After reading hundreds of reviews from both reputable organizations and from members on many forums I was totally on the fence about the wheel issue. Well, yesterday I finally dropped down the plastic and bought the BST Carbon Fiber Wheels to have mounted this Saturday also! Will post pics and MY reviews Sunday perhaps. Wonder how it's all gonna look when paired with the new matte finish carbon DP decided to make this year? Oh well, no turning back now my friends! -lol :D

Wait till you see them Gunny you are going to drop in a blubbering mess:D

Might make you wish you had gloss carbon to go with them though,
 
But How?

Where could I send all my matte carbon to get professionally cleared to have that gloss finish? Obviously I am not going ot buy all new carbon to match the wheels. Yeah man, I cant wait to see these and feel the huge weight difference!

Any professional spray painter can do it for you, it just becomes a bit harder if the finish is not spot on, on the original.

Honestly I think it is all up to the individual on the matt/gloss finish, but these rims do shine and the lightness is going to blow you away.......I bet Saturday is not close enough now with the wind up I have just given you:D
