Just got it back together with all the black metal from the powder coater. If anyone is wondering thats a 180 / 55 on the rear with plenty of clearance by the way. Even had the old center stand powder coated but it really makes the panel bolts shine. I also have the one inch bar risers on the bike in case you guys wanna see what the height difference looks like from a step away.

Yank,

Looks fantastic!! That's one sweet 907ie.

Have you seen the Corbin seats which have the passenger part red? They look realy trick - makes the bike look like a monoposto when it's actualy a biposto. I have them on 2 of my ducs and it's a great look.

Ride safe!

Yea, I love em but I just can't part with the seat I have cause its 100% shape, lol. (basically I am to cheap) I am thinking of getting a local guy here to re-do this one in leather and use the same idea.

You guys don't mind my crappy driveway, I am getting it widened and too lazy to make the cement call yet.

Very nice, compliments :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: !!!!!

Have you powder coated the whole frame?

The rear 180/55 r17 is homologated by Ducati as option as to the 170/60. So, it wouldn't be any clearance issue. Many people here have the rear 180/55.

A question.
I can see you have changed the 300 mm. front rotors (I also had to do it). Which brand and kind?

Ciao

Thanks very much, first off. I am very proud of it thank you.

I don't know about the rotors because they were added by the first owner and to be honest I never knew they were aftermarket, I just assumed they were stock. But, I will find out and pass on.

As for the powercoating, No I did not get the frame done.....all the easier detachable black metal was however. The rear grab bar behind the seat, panel bolts, center stand, and few small pieces. It was expensive (more than painting ) but the result was very nice and I will never have to worry with rust. Thats a big plus for the center stand as most of you know.

The stock rotors have the shape of the pics below (the upper one).

I had a warp rotor, so I needed to change them.

Absolutely beautiful. Someday I will tear mine down to the frame and do something like that. Noticed you don't have the Euro tail lenses. Did you do as I did and move the signals inside the tail light assembly?

Regards.

Nope I have the euro assembly but liked the red look better and put the all red cover on, lol. I will be selling the euro cover soon, if anyone wants it its in great shape except a small stress crack on the right side screw hole. I want about 40 bucks for it and saw one go for more on ebay about a month back and it had a huge crack.
