Outstanding!!! applause Way to go guys! Glad the deal worked out and you are back in Tamburini heaven. What was the deal on the carbon side covers? From the pics on CL it looked all the world like a carbon airbox. Huh? So are they just CF covers?

Either way, happy it all worked out and a big  waytogo to hbliam for all the help. How about posting a pic of you pulling a wheelie on it or a burn out before it goes to Scotty's? Just saying... laughingdp

She didn't mind. Of course I didn't ask for permission.  waytogo

Bike finally made it to my house. Shame the weather is cold and wet, and the streets are wet and dirty.

But spring is coming, or so I hear...

And since without pics it didn't really happen, here are a few:

Also decided to move this over to 'General,' since it has plenty of moto content now.

That's a pretty bike!!!  Still kicking myself for not jumping on that heavily reduced Matrix 998 I found at the local dealer ~

Glad it worked out for you.  chug

Glad it arrived in perfect shape! Again  waytogo waytogo to hbliam for all the help. Sorry about the funky wet streets. Bet it's killing you to not take it on it's maiden spin. Is that a Sargent, Corbin or Huh? seat? Great looking scooter by the way! applause Enjoy your Tamburini bliss.

It's a Corbin seat.

And the weather is worse still today. 21 degrees out right now, and the grit hasn't cleared itself from the roads. Roll Eyes

But it's supposed to be better over the weekend, so hopefully I can get out and about. Maybe even get it over for inspection so I can get it tagged...

Also, I figured out what's up with those carbon side covers. The airbox and runners are plastic, but someone has carved away part of the plastic side covers, installed dzus fittings, and put on standalone side covers. This explains why it has side covers with fasteners, which is something I'd never seen before.

Changes so far: I've removed the dark gray 'Ducati' stickers from one lower fairing, and will do the other when I get inspired to pull the bodywork again. I figured saying the brand three times on each side was somewhat excessive...

There was at one time a carbon airbox with removable side covers. It's possible those are the covers from that set-up if your airbox is plastic.

They also sell covers on ebay  http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DUCATI-CARBON-FIBER-AIR-Box-COVERS-748-916-996-/260742116456?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb570f468

Nice bike ...enjoy it.
