Glad it may prove of some use to you Bob. It's nice to dispel the myth that these bikes are difficult to work on. They aren't really, they just...
Thanks JoePeps. I guess you have to be a little crazy to go to such extremes, but that's just me I'm afraid.
Next up will be the remainder of the cooling system. I've got to head back to the hospital again this afternoon, so I will try and post up some...
I've never been a lover of the antennae-esque rear view mirrors on the Panigale, less so their fragility, the fact that on the V4, unlike the...
Here some additional shots of the clip-ons and side stand assembly, as well as the side stand switch (new stainless bolts) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Completing the top end of the forks involved the handlebars, clip-ons, switchgear and bar-end indicators and hydraulic reservoirs. I will come...
I've mentioned many times on this thread, the parts I have had Cerakoted, such as the front frame, swingarm, suspension linkages etc. It's not a...

Time to fit the outer air duct/filter housing and new Sprint P08 filter that comes with the Akrapovic exhaust system. We are up to 90 images so...
Running out of time today, so I might post up more later. For now at least, here the frame is reunited with the engine....at last! [ATTACH]...
A few last minute (can't access them easily otherwise) jobs to do before the frame goes back on. Here is the ground wire that sits just inboard...

The front frame being such an integral part of the bike hides a few sub assemblies that must be fitted, before you can marry it up to the engine,...
If you are paying for someone to work on a V4, it's easy to see why they are so time consuming to maintain. It's not so much the content of the...
Perhaps a controversial choice and black would have been too obvious, but I have always been a lover of the magnesium coloured castings and...
Can't stand the suspense (ion), so almost all its components have been Cerakoted. Here is the rear shock absorber mounting bracket that is...
