A mate is possibly looking at going down from an 1199 back to a 1098 but the R version. One problem he has come up with though is that the subframe on the R appears to be the single seat one and so does not have the passenger footpeg points and therefore he could not fit a Ventura rack to it. I suggested that he could buy a 1098 or 1098S rear subframe which appear to be about £100 on Ebay and just fit that, hey presto. Anyone know of any problems with that idea?
The 1098R subframe is a pain really. The 1098R carbon tail unit is uber nice, but the DP carbon tail unit is more practical - especially if wanting to carry luggage etc.
