848 / 1098 Modifications - what did you do ?

@Evoarrow , is that what you've got on yours?

 

Or the poor mans version ...... £280

 

I wish, unfortunately not. Tempted though. Its looks the mutts, but I honestly would not know how to use it.

 

See a new one on fleabag for £900. Customs scares me though, could be another £250.

 

I had a non-TTX Ohlins on my daytona and it was unbelievably good!

 

could a mere mortal even notice the difference in ride?

 

Did you tweak it yourself?

I think this is better than a set of slip ons, in terms of improving the bike. Maybe someone can agree or disagree

 

A grand on a suspension or a grand on pipes? I don't know.

A ttx for road use only?

 

My daytona Ohlins was £500, got it resprung for my weight and the forks rebuilt , the simple answer was yes. I could feel a huge difference, the bike was just 'plush' and it was nothing to do with spring rate as it was still pretty stiff. It was just better. That said the Ducati rear shock from a damping point of view is better than my standard daytona shock (which I am convinced was faulty!) I wouldn't spend more than £500 ish on the shock though, the gains between non-TTX and TTX are minimal for road use and therefore a used 1098s shock that is sprung correctly and with fresh oil will be fine.

 

managed to get the front air mesh bits painted back to how they should be and fitted cf air duct covers. that's the last of the damaged plastics changed.

 

. New clutch slave cylinder....quality kit this ducabike stuff

 

Oh also had Kais set up suspension, will probably have the front forks and rear shock serviced/ sorted during winter.....just waiting for Richie rich to chip in about Kais ...ha ha ha ha ha

 

that sprocket cover looks good.

 

Ti heat shield bolts fitted, pro grips & DP carbon underseat panels.

 

Have you now replaced enough to build another bike?

 

Nearly! Most of the plastics that I've replaced with cf were scratched or damaged. At least that's what I tell myself to make it a little easier.

 

Hope you lock tighted those bolts or they'll be soon gone

 

Yes mate. They won't be coming off soon!

 

Couple of extra bits on mine. Renthal 40t rear sprocket and q/r carrier, Ohlins steering damper and Accossato Q/A Throttle .

 

Booked in at CJS for Monday 27th.
