  1. That's bloody nice.
    I'd leave it as is,maybe add a black 'Ducati' decal each side.

  2. Maybe I would on a track bike and do something with the rest of the bodywork to match, but I think it would look too "unfinished" on my R. A bit like this........

  3. Or maybe add a little red at the bottom of the tank, I think that would look a lot more finished. A bit like the images below (but red obviously).

  4. Yup -like that as well.
    As much of the brushed ali showing the better IMO.

  5. I just want to rub my hands all over it :blush:

    The little red stripe would look nice

  7. Well, like London buses (except this one is in Deutschland :thinkingface:), you wait months for an alloy 1098 fuel tank to turn up and then another appears within days.

    It's a standard 18L tank from the SP. Someone may grab a bargain. :)

  10. @Robarano do you know what other capacity tank are available?

  11. Apparently, the one I have just bought is 22L. Beater do 2 sizes on their website. The SP is 18L

  12. For that money I'd grab the SP and paint it

  13. If it stays at that money, I'll be tempted to buy it myself. :grinning:

  14. Have you decided yet @Robarano on colour scheme
     
    #74 Ducbird, Aug 19, 2017
  15. Not yet, I've been photoshopping it a bit, but as I'll only get one shot at it I want to make sure I like it.

    I'd like it mainly red with a bit of ally showing but some white with a gold pinstripe in keeping with the 1098R.

    I'll keep sketching :)

  16. I got in contact with my painter friend today about painting this as I'm 90% certain in my head what I want now. o_O His words were, "Yep, I like a challenge" :laughing: Let's hope I've made the right decision. :sweat:
