Time for a build thread...?

Wonky TPS stopped play the other day.
Left bike with BSD Peterborough for another Andy to change TPS and dyno.

Had the call today to say it's all done and ready for collection.

I resisted to shake the Christmas present early and await the big blue crayon chart on collection.

I got one of these kits for future TPS removal and fitment.

All three screws in??? better clearance for the wide track? and Do they fit the fairing..... :ROFLMAO:
 
How does it ride FE?

Have you found the wide track setup affecting steering inertia at all or is it barely noticeable?

Also did you need to shim the top yoke to accept the forks at all?

Not been ridden yet.

Top yoke size is 53. Top fork dia is 53.5mm
No shims needed.
 
Ta muchly gents.

Interesting. 999RS and 1098RS were what, 226.5 / 227?

My guess is that the increased steering inertia of the wider track tames the 30mm offset on the yoke? and gives the widetrack benefit of less wheel removal palava. Crude but effective. :unsure:

I remember Michael rutter saying back in the day that when he raced on Ducati - Paul Bird I think, they went to wide track and the bike wasn't to his liking so he returned to stock track width.

Pissed the mechanics off I'd imagine as it meant lots of dicking about to take a wheel out as wsb / bsb didn't use the swanky front swinging caliper arrangement that the endurance bikes were using in order to keep track width narrow.

I have heard that Ducati are finally making forays into endurance racing - tentatively through the back door, so probably supporting a privateer effort but it's a start.
The day they win an endurance race they'll go up big time in one's estimation on the Chuck Norrisometer.
 
Panigale and RS are 220mm centres. Hence the need for 7.5mm brake disc spacers for the 999/1098 wheel conversions to pani yokes
 
Thanks for your workings out. I was only jesting 😁

My disc centres are a small batch made by Mode. I needed 5mm spacers, eith these discs, for my 999 based wheel with 108 calipers.
