Hi Guys, Just to let you know, we are building a show bike (Pamela) from all the parts available from our website. I hope you can join us as we build our creation, we will be posting new pictures through the various stages and we hope once complete you will like our choice of parts and colours. No expense will be spared and we hope that you get to see her in all her glory as we travel around to various bike meets and shows in the UK. Here is the bike, just been delivered from Ducati Manchester (cheers Geoff) and thank you to Char for being there at the handover :biggrin: Pamela is totally standard apart from the Termignoni exhausts. These are the parts we have being made for her: Carbon: Satin rear hugger Satin upper chain guard Satin exhaust guard (already fitted in picture above) Satin brake hose satin Instrument cover Satin V-panel Satin air intake set Satin seat tail inserts Satin subframe covers Satin sprocket cover Satin battery cover Satin ABS cover Satin electronic holders Satin reservoir mount Satin key guard Satin mirrors Satin undertray Satin instrument/headlight holder Satin instrument/dash cover Satin shark fin lower chain guard Satin shock guard Satin side stand Satin air intake manifold Satin carbon engine covers Satin seat pad cover Gloss seat center panel Gloss steering damper cover Gloss original sized fuel tank Gloss LHS fairing Gloss RHS fairing Gloss LHS belly pan Gloss RHS belly pan Gloss headlight fairing Gloss LHS seat panel Gloss RHS seat panel Gloss mono seat TBC CNC Racing Black clutch reservoir Racing non-reverse shift rearsets Gold clutch actuator 28mm Gold axle plugs Black top yoke clamp Black steering head nut Gold lower frame plugs Black filler cap Black brake reservoir Black race levers long Black bar ends Gold bleed nipple caps Gold sprocket flange nuts Black rear shock cap Gold oil filler cap Gold handle bar caps Gold upper frame caps Black sprocket flange Ducabike Black & gold clutch cover Carbon brake protector Black CNC adjustable handle bars BikeTrac Biketrac Road Angel alarm EvoTech Performance EvoTech lower rad guard EvoTech upper rad guard EvoTech tail tidy Samco Red Samco hoses Pro-Bolt Titanium disc bolt set Ti clip-on set Ti pinch bolt set Ti yoke set Ti caliper set Ti swing arm pinch bolt set Puig Light tint screen Lithium Battery Miscellaneous DP 41 tooth rear sprocket Venture shield Panigale R brushed alloy decals Renthal gold chain And I'm sure there will be more to follow.......So please watch this thread and see our ultimate bike being built step by step.

Hi Andy, Our thoughts on the gold items was that it would compliment the Ohlins and break the black up a bit, what would you choose? CC
i think the ti stuff and satin carbon speaks a bit of quality, the gold caps for this and that would cheapen the look…i would be inclined not to change the std bits...
Thanks for the coffee - glad I brought biscuits though :wink: Be interesting to see gloss & satin together - And I hope you get to ride it soon
Fuckin hell C.C. is there enough room on the bike for that lot. I go with Andy on the bling , if I were to have anodised it would have to be titanium colour or black , at the very worse an understated blue . But stick it on anyway ,you'll get an honest answer at the least.
Maybe so Brads but by changing the colour of the anodised bits you could have a bike looking subtly impressive rather than garishly obnoxious , theres a lot of outlandish anodised bling fetishers out there. But a whole lot more that tastefully use it , surely those are the better target audience.
You have a valid point Peter, the black and gold colour scheme is to match our logo and the new website we are developing. I am going to try and keep it subtle (I hope) what at I really need is photoshop or at least someone who can make a conquest configurator like Triumph have? CC
I'd imagine its WIP Pete, ie chuck it on as a demo, if parts look shit (ffs PURPLE!!!) then change em for something else. I have never seen any of these show bikes actually look good...
I really really hope ours will change that opinion "I have never seen any of these show bikes actually look good..."
Nice Steve. If you get a chance to ride it and are over Wimborne way give me a shout and pop in for a coffee.....
Cheers Ozz, I'm only in Blandford. It's going to be at least a couple of months before she's complete and hopefully when our bloody weather system has sorted it self out we can go for a blast?
Look forward to seeing the result....in my mirrors :tongue:. Although I'm not a fan of gold bling, as you are using the bike as a advert, then I think its a good idea. It highlights the parts that are available. If its too subtle, then people won't see it
I think this will be an fascinating project and look forward to seeing the results. I'm not a big fan of the over use of carbon, I think standard fairing panels with carbon trim or carbon panels with standard trim looks good but put them all together looks too much, however I think the mix of satin and gloss will break it up and look good, also I think the gold will break it up and tie in with the ohlins. We all have our thoughts on what looks good and what's tat and those thoughts differ between us but it'll be interesting too see the parts in situ and I'm sure it'll be good for business. Would be interesting to weigh the bike when it's done to see how it compares to when it was standard.
