  1. Well, Simon, as they say "there's no accounting for taste"

    That said, it's bloody awful! Gawdy doesn't cover it. And that exhaust tape doesn't even look as though any time has been taken to fit it properly. There's a pretty long list of what I would consider no-no's. So the consensus on here fits with my thinking.

    Just remember though, that the OP stood back at some point and admired their handiwork and were so pleased they posted ONCE to show it off and try to drum up a sale (I mean who would actually sell their Labor (no U?) of love?).

    I think they got a decent indication of feeling towards it, then (ignoring the response here) apparently left it as it was and tried to sell it. I wonder how that went?
     
  2. Needs a pimp hitler in the back.
     
  3. I’d like to know where the carbon side stand was purchased from and if it would fit a 749.

  6. How dare you. The owner spent a very hard earned £15k on the bike.

  7. cheers. No price either. Shame it wouldn’t fit a 749. Doesn’t look that different but I guess it’s enough not to fit.
     
  8. for me, that’s the absolute height of gash… it’s going to save literally grams… yet WHEN It cracks, because as it’s been put down on the stand it twists the carbon, the pride and joy ends up on the floor. Hopefully it’s just a wrap…

    those of us who have had 916/748’s have cold sweats when we see sidestands

  11. gone fishing….
     
  12. Any luck?
     
  13. As I said earlier, the bike just needs some large carbon brake scoops and it would be perfect. Congratulations with buying it, good to see other people have taste.
