I went with the deep Burgandy mate but with a twist, its a Mercedes colour.
I looked at loads of swatches and found it impossible to choose then the guy opend a tin of the Mercedes stuff and that was it, job done. He has told me I can collect it on the 28th of this month.
Crash came round and put my chain on for me today so thats another job ticked off.
Now I have the bike back I can start to do a few finishing jobs.
I would advise your mate to get a replica Duke seat unit and stick some R1 under seat pipes on it, shove in a VFR arm in it and do something with the front fender. Keep his blade fairing to keep a bit of the bikes original identity, and paint it Ducati red with black wheels.
It will give you the look your after but not pretend to be something its not.
I think it would sharpen the whole look of the bike. |

As I said in a previous post I have mounted my Regulator infront of my battery on the R1 subframe, so last night I decided to refit the lap top fan to it with cable ties. Its quite a powerfull little fan and creates quite a draft. Rather than blow air on to the cooling fins on the regulator its drawing air over them.

The other thing I did was to get rid of the big round rear break master cylinder res, and replace it with a smaller one from a GSXR.


Much more compact and will go better with the new look of the bike. |

I had it on my CBR before I did the change over mate, not had any problems at all. My mate I worked with came up with the idea for VFR's because they are always popping regulators, and he said his mate had been through three but since he fitted the fan to his the problem went away.
He sells them as a kit on ebay but all they are is a P.C./Lap top fan. £1.50 simple solution to an expencive problem. |

| Thanks mate, the lap top fan earth went to the earth on the battery, and the live went to the rear break light feed the live side of the switch so it only comes on when the ignition is switched on. |
