1199 Ducati 899 - 959 - 1199 - 1299 Modifications - What Have You Done To Yours?

I had ASV levers on my blade and they were atrocious. The play and slop in the was a joke. The bush wears out quickly and was a poor fit. Might be better these days but I wouldn't get them again.

 

These have a 5 year warranty and I won't have the bike for much longer than two. They fit well, but as I said, they don't feel any better than the stock ones and are a bit slippery actually.

 

They might be different now I had them in 2011 and the bush wore out in no time so I replaced it with an oilolet ring and it lasted longer but I didn't like the square feel of the levers

 

New rear tyre

 

Nothing as Ive still not seen the damned thing. Should get it this week.

 

changed the clutch and brake fluid to castrol srf and bleed it through,the crap that is first fitted goes black way too fast,no other brake fluid like this stuff

 

Spent the a few hours over the weekend detailing the bike. Polish, supergaurd and a bit of zymol wax have done it wonders

 

I managed to get hold of a set of Dymags for a 1098, the rear wheel fits perfect, but the front needed some axle spacers and some disk spacers to fit my 1299, this will also work for a 1199
Don't know if anyone is interested in a set, if they are i'll make a batch.

Rides really nice on them! didn't think the turn in could get any faster!

 

Wheels off and Some new tyres for some sunny scrubbing. Summer is here

 

I was mean to mine. At least I'll be posting in here when the new bits go on!

Skip to the end for the horror scene.

 

I've just cut the cats out of mine, I need to weld it all back together and then pop the bike on the dyno to check out the fueling. It should be all done by the weekend

 

@Horico H dear oh dear oh dear. Knob

You did well to slow it right down before the Armco tif

 

Haha cheers dude. 80mph on grass isn't fun. Who knew?!

 

It's loaded in the truck ready for a trip to some amazing mountain roads in Arkansas for a week.

 

Ducati 899 - 1199 - 1299 - What Have You Done To Yours?.....

183 mph (dont mentioning overshooting the first bend)



Just back from a double header Euro trackday. Estoril the Portimao. Both have 180 mph straights, best time at Estoril was 1:56 and 2:01 at Portimao.





Portimao is a bloody tough track to learn, really wanted sub 2 mins, But shagged tyres, and after 6 days on track it was not to be.

 

How many miles on the old one Advikaz ?

 

Finally... PPF installed. Let the running in commence....NOT! Weather is shocking!

 

Removed air brake that is standard no plate and fitted my 9" x 3" alternative. Nice.
