The Thread Of Stupid Questions

I think its because the brake reservoir on a track bike might leak a little due to the fluid heating up and expanding causing the lid lift & leak. The "sweat band" stops the fluid from dripping/ spraying off onto your visor and paintwork. Apparently red ones also give your bike additional speed...

 

Direct sunlight degrades brake fluid apparently

 

How long is a piece of string?

 

I did wonder why the fluid caps of my 2004 999 Bipostp were in such a state with the paint lifting off.

Anyone know of a sensible UK supply of replacement caps? (I did find a site on line grandado (or similar) but it had the feel of somewhere you send your money and nothing ever arrives).

 

Paint flaking on a Ducati is nothing unusual, it’s part of the joy of ownership.

 

They look cool… and racey

 

Think John McEnroe early 80’s

Cool and racy!

 

Provided you frequently burst into rants full of expletives!

 

Part of the Ducati ownership experience.

 

It’s easy enough to strip the paint off the existing one and respray it

 

Sort of a doh rag for your brake bits?

 

Where’s the fun in that though, got Chrome covers on my 749 along with the original tatty ones in a box.

 

YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!!!
