Looks tidy, and with a tidy price, them 2 cylinder engines must be good with those sorts of prices being asked 
I'll stick with my tr-color though, what that pillion seat is doing on that bike I'll never understand. Also makes me think my discs on the DB4 could be the original set as they are the same pattern as on this model, and this model has only 3300miles, so you would think it still had its original discs. |

Part of my BOG OCD
Well I've got my Ducati 748/916 SPS discs now, and its a prettier pattern, so I'll stick to my original plan of changing them over. From new they have 1.0mm extra thickness over the brembos currently on the bike, doesn't sound a lot but its 25% more then the 4.0mms on it. Both Stainless steel, so no issues with the dreaded rust like the cast iron full floaters, heavier than the standard and yes on the wheels, but heck I'm no catwalk model, and until I change the "Anchor" Anteras, its marginal weight wise |

Are we going to see a picture of both discs side by side so we can see if they really are prettier?

Oh Go on, seeing as its you Oily, I do like my Funky shapes and objects, s'pose its part of the desire of Bimotas, and can be quite arty meself, paints and the like, although most references to me being an "artist" are usually preceded by a certain 4-letter word.
Before pictures of discs:
Centres aren't as well finished, and more of a metallic finish aka Hammerite,
And then theres the SPS type discs as below, more of a flat fluid finish, proper anodising and no hammerite finish
Also planning on twin pipes set up one either side, carbon round end cans, although the oval on this looks quite cool
Oh and just to horify you all, brace oneself for the flurry of hate mail....A little shiney Open Billet anodised clutch cover to go with the red anodised alloy clutch pressure plate... Although there is a more "tasteful" simple black anodised open cover in transit that will replace it, this is just one I have lying around

Sorry, couldn't resist
Now...That good looking clutch cover, very pretty and all that but won't it make the clutch sound more like a tambourine than doochatee managed originally?
The disc's....good choice

Darn it, you had me going there with the pants/paints, even checked, and its not even April 1st, Clutch is well noisey enough anyhow, helps with the cooling if vented, and after the zorsts are changed you won't be hearing anything from the clutch for sure |
