  1. yes, that's it Steve - thank you as that's helped me in an instant. It's the lower two 'U' section (welded on) light fixings that have been removed and some of the framework is distorted and that's all :upyeah:

    I think the ducati across the fairing is too much ? i might remove it and only have 888 and a agip sticker ??

  6. I compound the fairings today and the finish is pretty good for a rattle can job tbh. The 2K clear cans made the difference!

    The clipons are wrong and foul stuff so i need the riser type like standard.

    To Do
    Chain
    fit new rear sprocket
    tyres
    rear brake line
    clocks :wink: Pablo!
    bleed brakes and clutch
    number plate and bracket
    mot
    tax

  11. agreed :) looking good, from a purely aesthetic perspective I wonder if those cans could be modified to run parallel with the bottom edge of the seat unit? would look extra lovely & give it a more OEM look? just a suggestion from a bodywork guy! .... looks great regardless and I wouldn't know where to begin doing what you have done!!!

  12. Much better Steve
     
  13. Jimmy, I have a set of st4 headers and cans lined up with Steve B (904red) and from what i know the link pipes are straight and will run inline with seat.. Like Grandads (Mr R)

  19. Looking nice Steve :-D
     
  20. 888 still looks as much the business now as it ever did.

    I've never actually ridden one, although owned both the 851 and the 916.
    What are they like compared to the 851? Must have been pretty similar.
