After some of your views I guess. Just picked up my new 1098 this morning & even though the fairings on it are mint, just to much colour going on them for me... I'm either thinking a complete black fairing or pushing the boat out & going for carbon fairings all over! Never seen 1 before, so just wanted to know your thoughts on this idea? (Carbon all over) Any good or would it be a bridge to far.. Obviously looking for a bargain for either options so if you know of any going spare please share their ware abouts also.. Thanks as always JA
...and yet you have a Tricolore as your avatar I like the flanks of red myself, but I'm a purist, and I think the Tricolore looks brilliant. If you add a full carbon look, and it was good quality, it would be impressive, and something different. There are black 1098s out there which look good.
Had tricolore before on an old bike, so need something different. Yeah carbon would like smart I think, just don't know how pricy it would be
Thousands. Definitely singular most probably multiples. Have a look at the Bursi Evolution (Italian), Ilmberger (German) or cdt-r (Slovakian) web sites to give you some idea what is available and at what price. Ducati parts are unlikely to be cheaper. Andy
Wow.. Maybe plain black it will be. Thanks for the options to try, will give google a try to see what I can't afford
My track S1000rr is all carbon, including wheels and to be honest it's a bit of a boring look. I was thinking about leaving the carbon un painted and stickering it up tastefully. So it would be a carbon background with a touch of colour. I have found it difficult to get a suitable sticker set for the BMW but when looking I discovered that there are loads for Ducati's. This may be an option for you and one I will consider when I put the Ducati on track full time.
Yeah I was thinking the same. Won't be so fun polishing her after a wknd Blast if in Carbon.. But would stand out I guess
my 1098 is has full c-tech carbon fairings and as nice as it looks I agree with niven770.it can be boring and can mask the lines of a bike.i recently bought corse nose cone and belly pan that were painted red because of this reason.but sadly had to sell them to my brother lol. the weight savings are incredible though if that's your aim atal.OME fairings seem very dense and almost rubbery.very heavy. heres my 1098 in carbon... a older one with DP ally tank... or one with CDT road going fairings in gloss instead of raw carbon... personally id rather a red 1098 for looks.its how theyr meant to be really in it. id love to paint mine red so it looked like this...
Wow thanks for the note! Like the look of your bike, totally agree not the brightest of colours but will stand out from the crowd... What did it cost u in the end?? You could always sell me yours if your after a change
umm CDT fairings can be had for around £1600 ish I think. the c-tech ones I have on bike now are around £3000.the ones I have are from Michael rutters spare bike.as is the rs fuel tank and seat etc. CDT is extreamly high quality though,moto repido use CDT on theyre race 1199s.
full carbon is nice yes but is a bit bland. unless the bikes still or going slow it does just look black. iv got a carbon front end and looking to have it painted red with he ducts and pin stripe round the number board left carbon. The only way full carbon would look less boring would be have white wheels and some white lines / sticker sets on it to break it up a bit. just my opinion
Fair comment... & I guess I agree.. I'm wanting a plain black setup with minimal graphics or the carbon. Both very understated... So judging by the 1000+ price tag. Will hve 2 possibly look down the plastic setup instead
Gone for the Matt Black plastics, couldn't justify spending a thousand + on fairings in the end. New ones should arrive in a few weeks... Thanks for all your feedback. Really help decide on wht was best... Will post pictures of my project once I get a chance to kick it off!!!
