As a side note, I checked the frame numbers yesterday, turns out that the frame I have is one of the 100 early 748S frames. Seems a bit of a shame to see the frame been cut about...
Was there any difference between the frames used for the 2000MY onwards 748S & E and the pre 2000MY bikes, apart from colour, silver & bronze gold respectively?
On all 748s bar the E version. I’m not aware there are any differences between the 748S frame and pre 2000 frames
Fitted some HEL braided brake lines and splitter this afternoon. Big thanks to Bettes for the parts. Really happy with them.
I see the frame lock stop has been involved in an incident of some kind. Out of interest - why go for a splitter rather than twin full lines?
Yep, the previous owner hit a wheelie bin when out one evening, coming back from Boxhill back in 2004. Rubbish went everywhere!!! @RickyX No real reason re: Splitter. Bettes offered them to me and I needed some lines, so just took what he had. Does keep it nice and neat though.
Can anyone recommend a clutch slave cylinder? Quite like the look of the Oberon style Only every used an OE clutch cylinder on previous Dukes, so haven't any any experience with anything else.
I've always been really happy with the Oberon ones, had them on all my Ducati's prior to the panigales
After a little advice if possible guys. Am i right in thinking i'm able to run a 999 rad, without any fitment issues? Running a 999 rad then means i can then ditch the coolant tank by the headstock?
@andyb You can use a 998rs header tank with a 998 rad. Or cut off the filler neck on a 999 rad and weld a plate over the hole, to blank it off.
