DUCATI 848 Ohlins make over

[casper]

Due to never really being settled with the front end went out and brought
Ohlins front and rear ,,, Special THANKS to Calamity ( Nice Chrissy present )
2 Days and a lot of sweat latter the project is finished to a point that i can ride the bike again ,,,,.
Got a Bayliss plastics kit aswell from Hong Kong
looks Ok but the nose cone was broken and the tail section cracked
Parts list
1 Ohlins forks and tripple clamps
2 Ohlins rear shock TTX
3 Ohlins steering damper
4 Sato Adjustable link
5 Bayliss plastics

In 1 way the plastics was lucky make over , due to while pulling the old 1's off the bike found sections that were broken or cracked which might have been some of the vibes i was getting at high speed ,,,, Hmmmm
Maybe i should not say that for fear of getting bustered
well i'm Happy to report it Handles Heaps better just need to fine tune to suit my way of riding ( slow )
Cheers C

Depending on your riding style, no standard suspension will "do" it for you. In a normal daily commuting situation yes, but take it to the track and you`ll see the difference.

And the new suspension does look good on the bike mate....

[casper]

i would have done the same on a Jap bike if i did not feel at home with the suspension ,,
Well i Replaced Showa Suspension for Ohlins ,,, i see nothing wrong with that

Cheers C

Do whatever you like, it's your money. Fuck the haters, the bike looks sick!





BTW, can I borrow it for a session @ barbs?

Me either , bikes looking good casper .
Interested to know where your original plastics were broken , have had mine all off on a few occasions and have found no problems.
Maybe warranty job?

[ducmon]

Needs monobloc calipers to finish it.

Looks good Casper

[Broms]

Great Christmas present Casper.

The bike looks terrific. Some gold wheels would finish it off.

That is a good question. How old is your bike? See the dealer and ask them...

Nice work, I like it.

Gee whizzo - looking swish! Gold wheels as per Broms would look good and the Brembo mono's what Ducmon suggested would look trick. Will you get a tank done to suit that Bayliss colour scheme?

[Desmo]

Dibs on your current rims if/when you go gold.

[casper]

enough money spent for the time being
