CairnsDuc, my 24k service will be due in the week or so. I can't believe how fast the K's are ticking over. Did you save much on the belts and shim kit. please let me know where you got them from

2V shim kit=Phuggin' expensive!! 

In 49,000k of services I've only needed 2 shims, and I got the individual shims from EMS. Mucho cheaper.

I debated about just ordering the shims I needed, but figured screw it, safer to have them there at the time, when I want to do the job, being a commuter bike doing roughly 200 to 250k's a week,
I can't afford to have the bike unavailable for days while I wait for shims to arrive.

Got all the belts and (EMS) shim kit from Ca Cycleworks, if I need shims I will order them direct from EMS.

The Ducati dealer that I worked for, the Manager had been servicing Ducati's for years, he had a massive Shim kit (he had it in a large tool box) every shape size and style ever used, and lots of em! shame the place closed down before I needed to do my service    He told me to just raid his shim kit when I needed to.

I rang him recently to see if he still had his kit, he sold it on Ebay for $3000!! 
Sold it to a dealer in South Australia

My major problem is that I would have to buy 2 kits as the older 750 has the 2V shims, but the 1000DS has the 4V shims.

Oooh, that brings tears to the Credit card account just thinking about it....

The plastic is SMOKIN'. 

at the price i can get them for it pointless to me to buy a kit and the biggest problem with kits for your own bike is you will never use half of them and as for having the bike of the road if you keep notes you will no what sizes are in each head then when it comes too checking valves it only takes an hour to check all the shim clearance,s then put the bike back together and order new shims and when you get new shims to at your own leisure

Well for starters a nice shinny carbon front guard but really toying with a rizoma rear set.......hmm

This is the front guard.

Ah, the benefits of being bilingual.

Love the 'diversion' fender mate, I'm having work done now just so I can fit it to the Ohlins.

I have just bought a few things from a new vendor I have found revercorsa.com

Hey Matty, did you have any problems ordering off these guys? I tried a few times but keep getting an error message at the final stage of the payment process.

Yeah Ollie it has some sort of issue but I just emailed them and told them of the problem.
They told me they could see my order sitting in the online store and don't know why it won't continue.
I was advised to just leave the order sitting in the cart and send money via paypal and they would clear the order.

email the parts manager Paul Sims parts@revercorsa.com and I'm sure he'll sort you out. 

Yep, I'm having trouble too.

Tried to pay via Paypal and Credit card but both failed and put me into a never ending loop.....email sent.

Let's hope I don't get 12 sets given the amount of time I tried to get it to work.

I'm sure you won't have any problems.
I have just ordered another little item from them.
Paul is pretty good, you should have an email quickly.
I am hoping my item will be shipped tomorrow.

two days have passed still nothing back........is it me?

They got back to me straight away, as matty said email paul - the parts manager - directly and I'm sure he will get back to you.
Paul said that no orders were working correctly through the online shop, and with the US dollar the way it is I'm sure that there is quite a backload of international orders for them to work through
