Only one Pilot left on it mate, and it's getting ready for swapping tbf.
Being as you've bumped this, i may aswell update too.
Passenger Sparco is FITTED!
Buuuut, the 'low' OMP sidemounts i ordered are too low. I can't see over the wheel lol. So i have ordered another 'mid' sidemount and the 'low' one's are up for sale if anyone want's them. Pics to come later in the week as it's bloody freezing outside!!!!

Tbh dude, my dad's a mechanic and auto electrician, so anything regarding servicing and maintanence cost's me for part's only. So it isn't that bad. Although i'm buying a clutch soon, that's £150 lol.
Thinking of getting a Kwak Z750 next year though 
Ducati has a progress thread on here and shall have some nice update's in the next month or two aswell

Cheers dude. It's starting to come together.
To finish off the inside i plan on:
-Flock
-New Carpet?
-New Mats
-Carbon Doorcards
-300mm Momo Team
-Gearknob to match the Momo as that will be all the chrome gone then (apart from cage)
-Paint the back

Again, cheers folks Really like the seats, they seem comfy enough and look the business imo.
Glad i went for 3 points... My mate has err think they are 4 points, with crotch strap and as nice as they are i reckon they're a little too much for a road car.
