  1. How is the fit of your Corse fibreglass ? Not heard particularly good things about it. Andy
     
  2. Sorry, I don't really understand the question.
     
  3. OK, off the top of my head...

    Pistal HC pistons, Waterless coolant, JHP air filter, lightened flywheel, Samco silicon hoses. JHP superstock ECU.

    Gearbox & Clutch
    Nova race gearbox, Nemesis quick shifter c/w reverse race shift, JHP clutch cover, DP pressure plate, JHP clutch slave cylinder

    Exhaust
    72mm Termignoni slash cut system

    Suspension

    Wheels
    BST Carbon jobbies

    Controls
    Gilles VCR rear sets, Gilles X-Treme GT2 brake & clutch levers, Quick action throttle.

    Bodywork

  4. Does it fit to the bike like an Italian hand made suit, or a Russian off the peg one? :)

  5. In conversation today, I as told that the individual panels did not fit together particularly well. Joint lines were irregular and at least 2 of the fixing holes didn't line up. So basically crap unless your feedback puts a different light on it. Andy
     
  6. So not much then ? What do you reckon on the comfort of the superpole seat ? Thanks, Andy
     
  7. Essential for me Andy. I'm 6'1" and used to find my 1098S uncomfortable to ride before I put the Superpole seat on it, regularly getting leg pain. It's only about an inch taller, but makes all the difference for me.

    Another benefit is that you stay absolutley planted to the seat, wherever you put your backside, that's where it stays. No more sliding up to the tank when braking and a lot less gripping the bike with your knees to stop moving around. I highly recommend them.

  8. Sorry Andy, I only went on my (failing) memory just to start the ball rolling. Hope you find one soon.
     
  9. Not a problem Chris, keeping my fingers crossed. Andy
     
  10. Oh. I see :-/ My experience of fairing fit - ranging from OEM Ducati stuff to various aftermarket track plastic is that the Corse fibreglass is at the better end of the spectrum. The sides and belly pan are all fixed with dzus fasteners and they go on and off real quick.
    Slash cut end cans. I have always liked them more than the originals. Never been able to justify the expense. That's plenty tyres :p
     
  11. Totally agree, (from a mere 848 point of view). Their carbon fibre stuff in most cases fitted better than the OEM plastics. A bit light on the lacquer but good none the less.

  14. And as of 5 o'clock this afternoon, after months of searching and failing miserably to secure a deal, so am I. All happened literally in hours after a chance meeting in the parts department at Moto Rapido. Andy

  15. Well, hoisted by your own petard........What has it had done to it? and get some pictures up!

  16. It's currently having a belt service and valve clearance check at MRs and if you have a look at the thread "pictures of a naked lady" there are a few of the bike without her clothes. The only significant modification is the 70mm exhaust with slash cut cans. Except for some short levers, DP Corse race change rear sets and a quick release petrol cap, she's bog standard. Registered in March 2008, 6600 miles and 1 owner. Andy
    Edit : Had a better look now and all standard except for a 70mm Termignoni system with carbon slash cut cans, DP Superpole seat, DP quick action throttle, Renthal folding levers, DP rear sets (race change), DP q/r petrol cap, Renthal q/r rear sprocket, DP carbon swing arm cover and DP carbon heel plates. Not sure if the small carbon hugger is std or not. A
