Sorry Azoom but I have worked on a few too many ducks on the side of the road to love them. My friends 748 was nicknamed "the little yellow Harley". I bought him a key chain that was a duck in a life vest. Between that and the buell it was like a rolling bike repair clinic at the gap a few years back.

Now I'd rock a Priller or a KTM.

Ok now this reminds me of the "scientific theory" thread. For one,we are discussing Auctmarts plastic,so any "experience" you have with another company has zero validity. Plus,you all act as is you've installed hundreds of sets of Auctmarts plastic and know firsthand it's level of quality. Which I doubt. Lastly,you know one person who has a Ducati with problems and thus all Ducatis are junk...

I used one friend as a example and only listed a few of his many problems. He also had clutch engine seal, rear brake, cracked overflow bottle repeatedly, flaking rocker arms, leaking stator cover with 1000 miles, an the freeze plug back out that causes the crank to be ground away.

The same guy has owned 2 different honda with no major problems with lots of miles on them.

I worked on 3 different ducks on the side of the road in one weekend trip to the gap.

Oh and we will not even mention the fact that during some parts of the year the parts are impossible to get cause they take a month off for holiday and it take them 3 or 4 months to get caught back up.

Have seen several friends order stuff that had the holes drilled in completely different places (wind sheilds and farings) On both Monsters and the sportier models.

The 748s were known to have crank(bolt backing out), Stator and clucth cover bolts backing out, cracking over flow bottle, rear brake over heat that ruin the seals and rocker flaking problems. Ducatis response to said issues was less than steller.

I love the looks of Ducks but would never own one after the problems I have seen.

And for any one to tout there engineering makes me laugh, though its more over the installation that seems to be the problem.

Oh for the record I know nothing about this body work I was making a comment about Azooms post about the Ducks engineering.

*sniff* Tigger... did you just have my back??!?

Nick, we've gone 'round and 'round about that topic. I'm OK with people not buying Ducati motorcycles or having their own opinion of them.

These plastics look nice - and I'm sure for the street they are fine. In a more high-risk situation such as racing or constant track use I'd be more likely to go with fiberglass that I could easily repair myself rather than needing to buy another set. Tigger - find a vendor that does glass rather than plastic for me... you're good at finding deals

Oh opps! Sorry,this is a thread about Auctmarts plastic...you were saying that Ducati ships crappy replacement plastic...well carry on then! J/K Zoomie!

That's a good looking bike
