    I want to get some of this venture shield protection fitted to the front of my bike as everyone seems to think its the nuts!
    Problem im having is finding an installer, I'm not the best on the web but have given it a good go and now I give up!
    Does anyone know if there is a list of installers anywhere?
    Or does anyone know of any one near me? Hampshire
    Cheers
    Martin

    Hi Martin, I know there is a very good installer who works a lot for Ducati dealer , Pro Twins, based in Godstone just off the M25 A22 junction. He did my 999 and did an awesome job but can't recall his name.
    Call Pro Twins and I am sure they will help you out.
    Cheers, Mike

    I did call up a place a while back - i remember there being some talks about it on a fairing thread of mine!

    they did kits for the bike, but they said the one for the RR4 and RR5 was little useless...

    So thinking you will need to buy a sheet and yes get a professional to cut and fit it...

    Do let me know how you get on as i would be interested in the same once i get a new cone... (possibly in a few months time or if cheap enough maybe even now..)

    If you look on the Paintgard website it says he can basically cut any size from a template.

    Sam if you fancy doing it your self some of the company's up there offer a DIY kit for nose for 30quid or full bike for about 80 or 90.
    I don't wanna risk it myself as I will end up kicking the bike over when all goes wrong lol
    May have given it a go if I had thought about before I fitted the cone I may have given it a go tho

    Lol I can have a short fuse when things aren't going my way, I have learnt when to just put the tools down (not even away)
    And close the garage door for an hour

    I fitted a full set to my RR6, I just took my time and did a few bits at a time I didn't find it too bad!

    I heard its all pretty easy apart from the nose is a bit of a pain, just happens to be the only bit I want to do!
