moving to the track : we have to get there, don't we? the idea is to get to tracks in Europe so some miles lay ahead. In the mean time a friend of mine is setting up a Ducati classic and repair effort and was struggeling to get the bikes around in his VITO... so i'll give him a hand and now he'll be able to move 4 bikes at a time in comfort. and it will get me everywhere in safety... Switching to slicks will mean some tire changing and tracking will require some on the spot maintenance. I also want to get into the tech of things. so had to add some tools i dont have.. like a trolly and some torquewrenches .. this is what i got for the moment.. an aircompressor and Michelin approved gage are on the list
its time for the mods to step in... personally i think its unacceptable when the parts bin is more pornograpic than a couple of super hot ducati babes with shoe laces up their butt cracks... fair play kope..this is the bike that ducati should've built..which is always a step in the right direction when kitchen-sinking a special...great thread mate.
I've just seen this thread, where the fuck have I been. What a wank-fest, loving it kope, the paint job, the parts, sublime.
I can't wait for the bike to get here! i'm litrerally counting the days.. i'm planning this to be fully fully ready by end of april.. this means all ivery painted, engine broken in, dynoed and mapped, setup calculated for max performance... ready to be taken out by be... for a stroll in the parc ... . Oh dear, there will never have been a bike deserving a better rider...
another day at the candy store! some pieces eagerly awaited : the carbon headstay , dash cover and airducts to replace the magnesium ones.. it's a 3 piece set here assembled... and it's extremely light!.. the race fairing shoudl be ready by the 10th of march
just been reading this and drooling over the pics.. at one point i think i felt some thick wee run down my leg......? think it was when the brakes and carbon bits made an entry.
Have a look Welcome - www.desmoperformanceparts.com and Welcome - www.desmoperformanceparts.com Interested in a self supporting carbon fiber seeat unit sir?dry clutch conversion?:biggrin:
oh dear! alreday ordered the bolts. they're coming... from Pro bolt.. what are yours? the supporting seat is on the "nice to have" list for next year. .. any pics available? i found them in Germany and Italy.. but there unknowns as to max weight of the rider... the conversion is Bursi and they have a self supporting seat..
Bolts are from a small italian manufacturer. Bursi sells the conversions, they don't make it..:wink: I was looking at the Bursi seat, so far I've only seen grey-primed mock-ups, not the real deal.
the titanium bits look great.. but quit up the price scale, no? I'm sort of hitting the budget sealing for the moment so i'm skipping on some things for the moment.. waiting to what the finale bill will be as labour and some parts are still an unknown... tx for showing though .: I'm amazed i didn't see you guys earlier.. one thing i am looking for though is a 1098RS front sized axle..
Yep, I agree I can't compete with Probolt on the single items (even if I'm not far off on most items) yet but obviously prices depends on order size etc. Check out the Magnesium sprocket carrier in the CNC section. Re front spindle if you have one my guy can make a copy.
Confession; love the titanium stuff and money no objet I'd change every bolt and rod I could for them
here she is... to go in comfort and safety... and take some buddies their bike with me.. so we can all go ! i'l be a true whitevanman!
