  1. I'm still waiting for a suitable time to pick up my 1098S that fits in with work/social events/RWC/weather and when I can grab a lift! It's getting rather frustrating! On the plus side I now have the following in the garage waiting to be fitted:

    14th tooth DP front sprocket
    Progrips
    Black CNC 1098R esq footpegs
    DP Seat
    DP carbon sprocket cover
    DP carbon air tube covers
    DP carbon under seat side covers
    Speedy moto under panel sliders
    Exact start hi cap cables

    Soon to join the parts list
    Oberon clutch slave cylinder
    ASV short brake and clutch lever in black with red adjusters

    That's the bike in question, I will be taking off the white stickers, the black Ducati Corse decals, the tinted headlight covers and possibly the tinted screen, it's already got a fair bit of extra carbon on it,
    Carbon clock surround
    Carbon key surround
    Carbon rear hugger
    Carbon heel guards
    Carbon exhaust shield
    Carbon swing arm cover

  4. Why would you want to pull the number boards off? The bike looks mint as is! :upyeah:

  5. I prefer the clean red look I think!

  6. I am also going to get the stand anodised black and the foot peg brackets, and possible a carbon lower fairing.
     
  7. I'm thinking of hitting the big green button on a purchase tomorrow too - just applied online for a cheapo Tesco Loan at 3.6% :Nailbiting:
     
  8. You've got the bug alright! ;)

    If that's the std seat I would think about changing it sooner rather than later. A better / grippier seat makes the bike so much better.
    Even re covering the std seat would make it miles better.
     
  9. Nice one, stu! Another 999 to add to the family? :)
     
  10. Nope :D
     
  11. Well, come on... Spill the beans
     
  12. :)
     
  13. Sorry, missed that. The neoprene one or the superpole? I had the superpole on my 848 and it made it miles better.
     
  14. It's the suede/alcantara one
     
  15. Is the superpole even better still?
     
  16. A Thai bride this time?
