  2. I tried to come up with a design or colour scheme but in the end decided to go with the all red finish. I like the look of the 1098R so kept it original. P1010037.JPG

  3. Slightly off topic, I know.... But, this is very familiar to my 1198 tank 'Ducati' I don't suppose anyone knows if this is standard?

    I always thought it was a brushed effect sticker?? Due to this I've never really looked at it in any detail to determine if it is or whether the tank is actually brushed alloy... The tank isn't 20L though unfortunately so hot a beta on my 1198.

    Sometimes wish it was 20L though as she doesn't go far between stopping off to top up ;)

  4. My thinking is its a r and nothing else is needed,no need to advertise you have a ally tank as anybody who is nerdy enough to care will know what it is anyway.Would like to see what sticker is covering sinisters 1098 design.

  12. Must admit, I thought the red 1098 was silver. Trying to remember what my red 848 was (suspect black).
     
  13. I think they might be - the R was probably the only one in white.
     
  14. My 1098R and old 1098S were / are both white.

  18. What have you done to Viv? The real Ducbird would be recommending multiple coats of the finest Ducati Anniversary Red about now. :thinkingface:
     
  19. I do like a nice piece of metal ;)

    I was very tempted to go multiples of red but..... that looks lovely au natural :thinkingface:
