  2. Looks good. What's the cost?
     
  3. Yeh what's cost in relation to actual carbon??
     
  4. Thanks £60, but i was going to have the hugger and chain guard done as well but one thing and another bills mainly took the money, the quote for the lot was £120
     
  5. looks great , stunishing... but pritty expensive, no? will it hold out?
     
  6. Love it, Just had my belly pan done. Wicked Coatings by any chance?
     
  7. Not wicked coatings i did get a quote from them then found a company near me,i saw the Wheeler Dealers program on Sky thats how i found out about this. Any chance of a photo of your belly pan.
     
  8. Seems expensive tho, you can get a carbon hugger for not much more of not similar money
     
  9. Found a place very local to me who do this, when I get back from leave going to pop over and get a quote to see how it compares to a full carbon part.
     
  10. Cant find anywhere local, reckon could be nice solution for wheels
     
  11. looks real good but i think it is abit expensive as well.
    had my hugger for under the swingarm made for my 888 and i think i paid 70€.

    henk!!!

    I'll try to take some of it fitted. I think it's a huge improvement on the standard silver.

  13. Its a satin finish rather than gloss.
     
  14. Whats the prep like? Seems you have to undercoat, base coat then dip.
     
  15. You get a choice of finishes, it appears from looking at the various sites
     
  16. Yep, had a choice. Went for satin as the bike is matte Titainium.
    No prep by me, just sent it in as it was. They did a great job. It was far smoother when it came back.
     
  17. Looks fantastic
     
  18. I see that Wicked Coatings are at Poole. Anyone know of a Company further north - Birmingham or Manchester areas?
     
  19. not my cup of tea - doesnt belong on a Ducati :wink:

    bloke at work had his honda chopper done in it - bleugh
     
  20. Be fair!

    Awwwrr, come on, be fair.

    If you want to loose weight on a Ducati, start with the rider. Based on what i've seen in the mirror and the last few meets you can loose a fair few Kg of unnecessary weight starting there.
    Carbon weight reduction where you might need it, but the belly pan is a damn good idea to get coated.
    Mines powder coated Black, but it would have looked better like these pictures.

    Horses for courses....(mines a double whopper please):tongue:

    I've just doubled the weight of my battery and starter cables!
    Warning about Lithium batteries...they don't like charging in the cold!
