I think I see a spec of dirt on it...
I've always liked the endurance look and I think I've lopped just under 20kgs off std weight, I'll get it weighed properly sometime.
Well, she didn't last long in current guise! Spotted something on eBay and had an :idea:
So now there's an 1198SP motor on the way from the States for her as we speak!
Got most of the other parts required and hoping to have her up and running in 6 weeks.
Anybody need a big hp semi-Corse spec 996 engine? Read the thread for spec

She's in bits again!
Old lump oot, 150 horse superbike Desmo engine anyone?
1198 engine in!
Fitting up the 60mm Factory Termi system I procured, need some custom header stubs made somewhere?
Pretty huh?
Sigma 48 tooth slipper fitted
996RS Airbox on the way to fill this hole!
And then fit these inside.
Then make up my own overhead fuel rail using this pile of bits, blue peter eat yer heart oot!
P8 loom changed over to 1.6 item, 1198 1.6m EPROM on the way from Hypertrick in Sweden, mount oil cooler, finish exhaust and a fine tune on Stuart's dyno (YPE) and we should be at the first DuN trackday on this one! Cant wait, later folks................... Chris

Holy...:hail:
Latest update folks:
What was supposed to be a 'temporary' chopped 70mm 1098R Termi system ended up fitting so well and looking so 'right' on the 748 silhouette that I didn't bother fitting the super-rare 60mm 998RS system I had procured, instead I swapped it with a chap who was re-building a BSB 998 (he has another few Ducati race bikes as well) for these babies he had "just lying" around!
Allegedly from Vermuelen's MotoGP bike circa 2005ish, absolutely over the top for road use but hey!
Hung in, but going to swap to widetrack Corse yokes:
Even got Magnesium top caps!
Std 996 radiator was always going to be marginal with the 1198. I've got a double row Corse rad but didn't want to butcher it in order to fit a fan but managed to find this NOS JHP item with fan facility at reasonable cost:
Some NCR rearset loveliness, mmmmmmmmmm!!
T' other side:
That's the bling progress so far, on other fronts: currently fighting a losing battle trying to sort out some sort of airbox set-up using a 998RS box but not getting anywhere (2/10 - must try harder!). Had to get some 'wedges' machined up (courtesy of one of my former RAF colleagues!) to get some clearance for the throttle-bodies at the forward face of the box - nicely made:
And fitted:
Electrics are virtually complete, including conversion for 916 wiring to 1198 coil-sticks - many thanks to Guru Derek who got an exasperated phone call last Saturday after my brain's logic-circuits failed completely during the re-wire!!
Other niff-naff and trivia parts are been completed as I go along but until I get to grips with my airbox woes and fabricate an injector rail as well there will be no 'Broom-broom' noises emanating from my garage for a wee while!!
That's all for now folks....................... Chris

Where is it now then? Good thread BTW 
Where is it now then? Good thread BTW
Airbox is still the sticking point I'm afraid, most of the other 1098/1198 conversions out there just use a std airbox with a modded bottom with just the top of the bellmouths inside the box but that makes for a tiny (imho) 7ish litre airbox, so I want to do it properly and use as much of a 998 RS (fully enclosed and extends around the sides of the headstock) box (24+ litres) to help the big motor breathe as freely as possible. I have made some progress though as I've got a set of wide track yokes so just need the special wheel axle made up and that'll be the front end nearly complete.
All I need is a good solid uninterrupted weekend with a pile of carbon cloth and resin but I do need to grow a 'set', hold my breath and lop the bottom of my RS box and get on with it!!
I've also started to gather the bits for V3 of the build which is: 5.99 ecu, 1198s wiring loom, falcon dash, traction control box and associated sensors as I'm sure she's going to be verging on unrideable at the end of V2! 1198 power with a 996 wheelbase = wheelie'tastic (even with the long mag arm).
Will keep y'all updated folks...................... Chris
