Hi John
I already have one of your pristine bikes - having another would mean 2 Bimotas living in the conservatory and none to ride! Smile
The DB2 is scheduled for trackday and (weather permitting) some serious road use - the fact that it's tatty (compared to your minter) removes the worry Very Happy
The benefits of the 748/916 fairing became apparant when I changed the plugs - 4 Dzus fasteners and 1 bolt removed an entire fairing side! Try that with yours Wink

ps - do me a favour John. Next time you unwrap the DB2, take a picture of the speedo / tacho assembly - not sure what clocks my bike has got.
Ta.

The DB2 is in bits at the moment, so next opportunity I get I will photograph the front fairing mount - I'm pretty sure its a modified 748 / 916 unit.
Do the exhaust cans on your bike bolt together? One of my cans is missing a nut at the can / pipe flange and the sleeve is loose and rattles - probably sheared an internal stud?

Hi John
picture of the other end of the pipes is what I would like to see. My clocks don't look like that either. Bit of a mongrel my bike!

Battery is a 12V 14AH EB14L - A2

Garry.

Thanks John - but still unclear as to how you cans are attached to the pipes - are they welded or removable?
and ditch the Michelin Hi Side ASAP Smile
