ha ha thanks. oh another item i got was a 1098r carbon under tray for £35. you'd be surprised what people accept for best offers. it was up for £100

If all goes well and people like the end result ill be providing it as a service for some beer tokens 3 polishing wheels 3 bars of polishing compound 15 felt heads and polish removing powder that looks extremely suspect came to under £20
So I had a crack with my polishing kit and I was amazed at the result the picture is of the link pipe that goes from the front cylinder head to the link pipes it had about 15 seconds of contact with the course wheel and compound

Isnt it just. Did you replace them all, including the ones to the overflow tank? I did, fuck me, that was two hours of getting proper pissed off just for one bloody hose. Would have been a lot easier if i'd just removed the tank and airbox
got some shiny nuts through today and also have a std size front sprocket and some more samco hoses coming in the next few weeks. so all going well if i get my stand this week i will be fitting new sprocket front and rear with red dp chain sprocket nuts termi cans carbon under tray carbon water pump cover rental clips ons and grips hel small break and clutch res and the thing that makes it look like a real race bike...... pink pipe
so got a bit of an update after thinking i was only in the garage for a few hours last night when in actual fact it was more like 6 iv managed to make myself a little work shop space its a bit like a time machine i lose all concept of how long iv been in there. i got cracking with the clip ons, grips and res kit very happy with the look and more importantly the adjust-ability in the bars the exhaust was next to come off ended up having to drill out 2 of the 3 heat shield bolts and faff with the valve cables. I was wondering as iv seen it done before what would i need to do to remove the valves from the link pipes iv heard it helps smooth things out down low. any advice would be brill and this is what a bit of elbow grease and a dremel gets you
so had a set of 8000k hids, new clutch plates and running lights. The hids we so easy to fit and the slim balast weighs next to nothing.
For a simple mod it takes years off the bike;- the old school yellow bulbs dates the bike. I've seen loads of ads on eBay for the HID conversions but what about the running lights? Where did you get those from please?
i got them from aus they were pretty cheap iv put the link for both below Running lights Ducati 848 1098 1198 ULTRA Bright Running / Park Lights | eBay HID's Ducati 848/1098 07-09 Xenon HID Bulbs Slim Kit Lights | eBay
