Hi all I’m converting my 959 for dedicated track use over the winter ready for next year and have been steadily gathering parts when I find them at the right price. Below is my current wish list - I have already spent a fortune on the bike so I’m being patient and only buying when the price is right. If anyone has any of the below let me know. Paddock Stands, Got my eyes on Harris, but open to anything one piece and of a good quality Lock stop protectors Exhaust servo eliminator plug. Sprint Air filter Brake Pads. Lots of opinions on these - still researching Race fairings. Picked up a DB holders front subframe/clock holder for 1199 so looking at 899/1199 fairings - newer series could probably be made to fit. Race subframe - rear. Like the look of the tightails but they seem rare, dbholders 2nd choice and finally motoholders as they seem to have mixed reviews on quality and lack of certain mounting points. TWM or DP quick release Gas Cap Gold Hardened alloy rear sprocket I know it shouldn’t matter but it will match the gold rearsets! D.I.D gold race chain See above Folding levers I like the TWM for price but Renthal intellivever look great and I like the fact you can replace the ball ends! Lithium Battery. Shido LT7B-BS seems to be the one - cheapest is 69.98 from SBS Side stand delete kit. Not sure about this - 0.5 kg weight saving but a big loss of convenience OZ wheels (gold). The most expensive upgrade - Piega the cheapest but still £1664 from racespairsuk is the best price I can find new so waiting for used to come up. Cheers Steve
Hi steve I have new twm levers and a used spring p08 filter if any goo to you £160 posted for the both I would also advise working your suspension i have a new rear online ttx and a couple of springs £750 cheers ben
So speaks the voice of experience! I’m going off this list https://lifeatlean.com/track-day-item-check-list/
Don’t delete the side stand it’s a step to far, delete the abs and gb racing engine covers, Bermbo z04 pads, I still think the original leavers offer better feel than aftermarket.
I think you are right about the side stand - no point unless I was racing. I already have pretty much every bit of crash protection R&G does so don’t need the GB racing covers - although I do prefer the look. Brembo z04 seem to be the gold standard but bloody pricey! I have been looking at EBC GPfax as a cheaper alternative. There’s nothing wrong with the stock levers - Folding levers just seem to make sense in the event of an off.
Thanks for the offer @carson - it’s a damn good deal but I would like a different colour and don’t have the facilities to spray fairings. At the moment I’m erring towards https://www.profibre.co.uk/product-category/ducati/panigale-1299-959/ and some simple wrap graphics if nothing else comes up. I’m very in to buying British if I can and they get good reviews. Would you sell the tank cover separately? If so £? I am waiting on one of these to arrive so don’t need the mwr as nice as it is
Thanks Ben that’s a good price - do you have any pictures of the filter handy? @CodexMotorsport I forgot to say - I have already picked up a Ktech DDS pro rear shock, 1199 flat rate linkage and Maxton fork cartridges so I’m good with suspension thanks.
I think I have a spare set of z04 pads in my spares box, will have a look, they really are excellent pads, I have changed the calipers on my 899 so surplus to requirements
The ali rear sub-frames are nice and very light. However, they are very fragile and are proper f*cked after and off. Consider an 1199 cast jobbie....
Hi pal, I have a CRC belly pan that goes between the exhausts and the bracket to go with it, there is a thread in the parts section with 899 parts for sale. Not sure how far you are going with the conversion so this isn't strictly necessary for track days. The side stand delete can be done with a KTM part if you don't want to spend too much. About 20 quid I think for a plug and play box and just undo the main side stand bolt and leave the bracket in situ. Don't have much else kicking around for the 899/959 any more.
