Latest mods

[Sumfun4me]

So here's the results of a couple of hours of handywork this afternoon on my 1198s:

Vortex 14 tooth front sprocket, with TPO titanium retaining nut, EVR sprocket cover & EVR 25mm clutch slave cylinder.



AEM factory complete 520 rear end, with 37 tooth quick change sprocket, titanium cush drives, alloy hub and all titanium mounting hardware including axle pinch bolts.



And the bike as she sits now, with the new Marchesini Magnesium wheels, titanium front axle and all new ti hardware (rotor & caliper bolts, pinch bolts, etc).



I'm waiting on the new Desmosedici FG353 fork kit to arrive, then the front will be swapped out & the new TTX rear shock, linkages, etc & a heap of other mods will be completed.

Tasty rear sprocket. Gonna suck when it gets dirty (don't let it!)...

I wanna see that new front end when you get it.

EVR make some nice stuff. I've got a slipper clutch coming... Bloody good time to be buying up right now!

[kryten2001]

Oh and mate, front stand + carpet, you know it makes sense.

[R160]

damm, that looks pretty damm awesome!

How much did the desmo forks set you back?

[Sumfun4me]

$5500.00 including shipping. This included the forks with front axle & everything else needed to fit them, a DP shifter kit & a new screen - these should be here within the next week or so. I also received a CarbonVani carbon fibre front fairing stay today, but wont be fitting it until I do the forks - I gotta say though, the quality of this piece looks pretty good.

That bike is amazing!
Could you let us know where those goodies came from? overseas,online shop?
Ive just brought myself a Duc and would love some of that quality gear.

Nice work.

So my Desmo FG353 forks arrived last week, and I've just finished fitting them. Haven't been able to take her out for a run yet, but that probably wont happen until I get the TTX rear shock fitted up.





I also fitted a carbon faring stay, undernose panel & air runner covers whilst I was in there.

Very nice. Slightly o/t, I've always wondered why the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ forks have all the holes in the top cap around the edge. Is that for adjusting something?

[Sumfun4me]

As far as I'm aware, the holes are only for assy or strip down of the fork. The preload is adjusted with the nut on top, and the compression with an allen screw that sits inside the nut (you can just make them out in the photo).

[rharris]

Looks stunning ,are you keeping your old forks ?

[Sumfun4me]

I was planning to try to sell them off. If anyone is interested, I'd be chasing $1800.00 for the pair, and I'll include a brand new Ohlins 25 mm cart kit that has never been fitted. These have done less than 200kms (they are Ohlins model FG811).

[Broms]

Just stunning, well done.

What's next?

[duc13]

Those forks look brilliant. Interested to know how they perform.
Looking forward to a ride report Sumfun .

I'm waiting on a Termi full system (currently have the slip ons that came with the bike), which will be ceramic coated. When this gets fitted I'm also replacing the OEM subframe with an aluminium unit, fitting carbon undertank panels, fitting a PSR billet engine oil breather, TTX rear shock with Kyle racing link & Sato height adjuster (all titanium mounting & pins). The only other items left to do are a carbon V cowl & belt covers, installing a microtec (or similar) unit & getting both the suspension & engine dialled in, then I'm calling it quits for a while so that I can focus on my F1 project.

Damn..that will be very nice.

CF wheels? I guess the oe fit better with the other gold trim you've added. The weight saving over what you have wouldn't be that much.

You still waiting on the Termi system?
