  1. Hi

    I've just purchased a 2006 Ducati 749 with 18k miles. No MOT and the fairing needs to be replaced along with both the front and rear brake levers but overall it isn't in too bad a shape and cheap at £800.

    Will update this post with some images.

    The battery was flat so I couldn't start the bike but the dash sprang into life and it did turn over. Brand new Bridgestone tyres and only done 100 miles since last MOT.

    Previous owner dropped it at low speed. It's the barcode fairing which I'm not a huge fan of and I've seen kits on Ali Express for a few hundred quid. With the fairings and brake levers replaced I should have a fairly good looking bike.

    Will probably need some help sourcing parts etc in the future and hope I can contribute to the forum.

  2. Sounds like a very good buy, time will tell.

  3. Sounds good to me.
    Red or silver frame?
     
  4. You need facelift fairing for that 05-06.
    The numbers inside end in C.
    03-04 are different and numbers end with A.
    You cant mix n match.
    A complete 03-04 set will fit your nose cone but with a few small gaps.
    You can tell them apart by looking at the barge board/fixing.
    Hard to find s/h. Good luck.
     
  5. Deal of the month. Well done.
     
  6. Love the adjustable brake lever!

  7. Is there a recommended supplier to get a complete fairing kit from that won't break the bank. With some stainless fasteners it would look great.
     
  8. Search on here for chinese fairings and aftermarket, race fairings, theres been a couple of threads with recomendations.
     
  9. I'll do that. I'm very aware that this thread is going off-topic.
     
  10. Swing arm is worth £400 alone, great buy, but you knew that ;)
