1098 A Little Bling For The R

  1. Because I am a shallow being who loves a bit of bling, I bought one of @jusutus 's Ducati Performance alloy cooling hose kits a couple of weeks ago. :innocent: I have Samco hoses on it already, but likes the look of these.

    I started fitting it last night and finished today. Now I've done more difficult jobs (it was only a case of replacing hoses) but I can safely say that this was the most awkward job I've ever undertaken on a bike. o_O It would have been a lot easier if I'd taken the tank and airbox out, but really couldn't be bothered so fitted everything by taking off as little as I could. :confused:

    Anyhoo job done and I like the end result. :)
