DIY - Fitting a clear Cam Belt cover to a 749

**hhhjesus** · 05 Jul 06, 11:18 PM

this bit of bling arrived this morning so being an impatient sod i just had to fit it tonight! remember this 'written by an idiot' guide is to give you confidence to try it yourself rather than paying someone over the odds labour to do it for you. i cant be held accountable if it dont work properly lol

hmmmm and to think when i got rid of the custom bikes and brought the 749 sports bike i thought apart from an exhaust there would be nothing

that would need changing or nothing to make the bike unique (how wrong was i! and i really do need to stop spending arghhhhhhhhh

)

Gorgeous! I've been thinking about one of these but wasn't sure how it would look with standard pulleys, you can get some lovely lightened race pulleys in different colours, from VeeTwo Austrailia, I think. I have seen some in the 'Ducati desmoquattro performance handbook' by Ian Falloon - Ace book - Techno porn!
You will have to keep us posted on living with it though SoG, questions like: Does the window scatch while riding/cleaning? Does it get scummed up on the inside with belt dust?

Here we go, you want some of these now don't you hhhJ? Not sure they come in heavy metal black though!

very nice

dribble....

think that may be a step 2 far on the bling front - not sure i can justify the cash as they look gorgeous but EXPENSIVE

Now Iknow why they call you JESUS

Jesus christ thats some bling, Poor old JIM hes getting a whipping now :P
I really like that IDIOT PROOF GUIDE you did, its a great instruction and I hope others that do abit of HOME MECHANICS follow your way, gee even I could do it after your lessons, oh damn I dont have one of those new fancy bikes, covered in BLING lol
Oh you know in NORWAY they have a tax on bikes with too much bling

SERIOUSLY, great work, a job well done
