Yep, the previous owner hit a wheelie bin when out one evening, coming back from Boxhill back in 2004. Rubbish went everywhere!!! @RickyX No real reason re: Splitter. Bettes offered them to me and I needed some lines, so just took what he had. Does keep it nice and neat though.
Can anyone recommend a clutch slave cylinder? Quite like the look of the Oberon style Only every used an OE clutch cylinder on previous Dukes, so haven't any any experience with anything else.
I've always been really happy with the Oberon ones, had them on all my Ducati's prior to the panigales
After a little advice if possible guys. Am i right in thinking i'm able to run a 999 rad, without any fitment issues? Running a 999 rad then means i can then ditch the coolant tank by the headstock?
@andyb You can use a 998rs header tank with a 998 rad. Or cut off the filler neck on a 999 rad and weld a plate over the hole, to blank it off.
Picked up a 749/999 loom yesterday. Big thanks to @RickyX for looking after me on price ECU/ignition barrel/Red key turned up yesterday too. ECU is being sent off today for flashing/unlocking. The bike is hopfully only a few parts away from being started.
Had a few parts delivered yesterday, so spent some time on the bike. Cleaned and fitted new Pipercross filters to the air tubes, fitted all the factory fixings for mounting oil cooler. Stripped back all the old tired wrapping from the looms, cleaned, checked and re-wrapped. Ordered some oil lines for the oil cooler and also some RH switch gear. It's starting to take shape nicely. I wanted to get the bike started by next Spring, but I think it'll be the end of this Summer. May even have it rideable. Thanks again for everyone's help. It's been invaluable
@Russell give mode performance a call. They have a few sets of the 12.5 (15mm) offset disc carriers and they'll make up a set for you. Damn, I wish I knew there was a 998 loom up for grabs! I'm looking to use one on the 916 so that I don't have to junk the corse oil tank. - nice find.
I settled for a 999 loom in the end. Trying to find a 998 loom proved almost impossible. Had to change a few things, but wasn't too much hassle. Thanks, I'll check out mode performance.
