  2. Nice! bet you are pleased with that! safe travels
     
  3. Ha, I have now achieved my life’s ambition!

    (Actually it’s purile, and off putting for some newcomers, but hey little things amuse little minds, it’s not the end of world I suppose ).

  4. Well, I managed to source some nice 'proper' fairings which fit perfectly, so much easier to remove and replace.

    Does anyone know anything about this?? Was on the bike when I got it.
    There is definitely no evidence of any repair, only one fixing. The matching RH fairing is the same..only one hole for a fastener. This LH lower fairing is stamped with Ducati part number 48031551A.

  5. Not sure what your asking but does this picture help?

  6. Hi Stu, yes I studied that picture so many times.
    I know there should be two fasteners underneath but mine only had one Dzus?

    Hey, I also notice you have axial front brake calipers. What’s the deal with that? Should they not be radial like each of mine are?

  8. No 41 are the 2 fasteners that hole the two halves together at the bottom...
     
  9. Joe, it's a 2003 so brakes are correct axial. 2005 S got radial front brakes.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  10. And 2003 999R which Joe's is...
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  11. Thanks for that, I had only ever seen axial calipers on the 916 etc series bikes. BTW, if ever I come to sell any of my bikes, can I use the ‘never been tracked’ sales pitch?
     
  12. Which part of Notts are you @nott996
     
  13. I am nott in Nott any longer:)
    Now in Yorkshire but I can't see how to change my location in my profile.
     
  14. We cannot be trusted to do so anymore :bucktooth: you need to tell @El Toro what you want putting and he will do it for you :eyes:
     
  15. Tell me where you want me to change to...........and if you’re no longer in “Nott” do you want to change your username too? :)
     
  16. Done :)
     
  17. Some of the early ones (the earliest ones?) only have a single wellnut.

  18. Been for a ride up to Squire's this evening (Yorkshire people will know where I mean) it was absolutely rammed!
    There were a few Ducatis there...a couple of Panigale V4s, couple of Monsters and a very nice yellow 748R.
    My bike behaved itself, no embarrassing stalls and it started up like a good 'un when I left. Better than last week when I had a false neutral and it would not start. Neutral light was not on and it would not turn over, even with clutch lever in! I think there's summat wrong, according to the user manual it should start in gear. I've checked the clutch switch and it is working ok. It's not such a big deal though.
