  2. Wow,including Industrial brushware as well.;)
     
  3. MS Production manufactured Ducati carbon parts. Some carry just Their logo, some carry Ducati performance some both (my swingarm cover).

    Nice MS Production carbon tank here if you gave £2k plus and the right bike (gulp).

    be interesting to see if you can renovate this without relacquering. Looks quite worn / thin in places. But nothing to lose having a go.

  5. Pass,:confused:
     
  6. Take your time and don’t get aggressive rubbing down and you will be fine. It’s a nice bit of kit (or will be) that will add value as its genuine.

  7. It’s so thin you can see through it in places, re lacquering might be the way to go!
    Do you know of any suppliers. though not at the price of that tank!
    :)
     
  8. It did come over a bit like you were signing up behind Corbin mate. o_O

  9. Honestly have a go yourself first if you have time. You will be surprised st how well it will come up. My swing arm cover was similar. Very satisfying to do. If you screw up then no worries, a body shop who do sports cars (lotus etc) with lots of CF will fix for you.

  10. Dremel polishing pad and T Cut.
    The fading has disappeared and depth of the carbon fibre returned.
