DUCATI Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 BUILD Thread

[craig bush]

I will surprise you when it gets here. Another Ducati but this one from Japan coming by ship. ETA is 12 June but then customs clearance and I will have to go pick it up with my trailer. I am on hold at the moment for work on the old Ducati Darmah SSD900 as my workshop has become so messy I need to clean it up. I am currently making a hardwood bench to sit my Drill press on. At the same time I just finished making a custom CF bracket to mount a oil catch can in my car. But then ended up rerouting the heater hoses to clean up the engine bay. I then noticed something a little untidy in the inlet tract so have to fix that but needed a M20 x1.5mm tap. That arrived today so hopefully finnish that tomorrow and then back to the wood bench and tidying up. The I can start to reassemble the SSD. Then back onto the 1199S. Somewhere have to find time to get the CF fuel tank for the 1199S to the painter. Never enough time in the day. An essential for the workshop some JD.

I attached a photo of two aluminium tubes. NB the weight of the tubes is 122.4 grams. These are called bevel towers on the very old 1970's to 80's Ducati. I got the aluminium on ebay for $15 AUD and a freiend turned down the outer diameter and cut to length on his lathe. It saves 200 grams from the OEM steel ones.

The last photo shows a aluminium clutch basket from Germany that saves 498 grams over the OEM steel one.

As usual Howard your front end is goine to look very cool. Nice Work.

My apologies if i missed it but what car?

My car is a GMH Commordore SSV Redline. Australian built car exported to the USA as a Chevy SS. Our car manufacturing industry closed down. Australian made Fords stopped in October 2016 and General Motors Holden in Oct 2017, My car was built on 5 Oct 2017 making it one of the last. It has an LS3 in it.

I upgraded my Brembo GP4-MS 108mm (with cooling fins) aluminum piston to DLC-Coated Titanium Piston.
It is part of my 998 project, but since many Panigale V4S owners are using the GP4-MS, I posted it here for reference. Here is the link to the main post where I post the entire process and pictures: Ducati 998s FE Final Edition (REPLICA but MODIFIED FAR BEYOND the Original) Build Thread

Ok, first of all, I need to install these custom cerakoted spacers for these PistaBassa Brembo rotors... but I have not done it yet...


But in the meantime, I try to figure out how I am going to mount the Staubli DryBreak with the Brembo GP4-RR that will still work in the near future with the Brembo GP4-LM caliper:
The first thing to do is buy this CNC Machined Titanium adapter from M10x1 to AN4 from FrenTubo:



Then buy Earl's AnoTuff Forged AN3, 90 degree female swivel to male adapter, and also buy a stainless steel version from a seller in eBay UK:




Oh, I also bought the Staubli DryBreak connector with the AN3 male fitting:


I want to compare which one looks nicer,... eventually I decided to use the Stainless Steel finish since not only does it look nicer, but it should also be stronger. Left picture is with Earl's AnoTuff black finished and the right picture is the Stainless steel finish:


Here is how it looks mounted to the Ohlins RVP-25 with Motocorse caliper spacer (and additional titanium custom spacer):


Having said that, there is an orientation problem with this setup, which I explain soon... (but no worries, I already have an even better solution), so stay tuned

The latest Rizoma Stealth Mirror for Ducati Panigale V4 Year 2025 (yes, Year 2025) arrived yesterday.

I bought this not for my Panigale V4S 916 25 Anniversario but for my Ducati 998 project.

However, I am posting it here so any of the reader who is buying the latest 2025 model can see how nice this Rizoma Stealth Mirror is:











More pictures and how I will modify this Rizoma Stealth Mirror to fit my Ducati 998 are posted on my Ducati 998 BUILD Thread: Ducati 998s FE Final Edition (REPLICA but MODIFIED FAR BEYOND the Original) Build Thread

Goodridge parts for the front brake final hose to the caliper and some other fittings arrived.
This is the Goodridge Stainless Steel adapter from M10x1.0 (metric thread going into the Brembo GP4-RR Caliper) to -AN3 thread



Custom ordered Goodridge 700 Series Aramid Fiber Reinforced -3AN hoses with Goodridge Stainless Steel Tee adapter (crimped and thread style)


And it will be installed to the stock Ducati Performance Carbon Fiber front mudguard/fender mounting for the stock brake hose:


Second picture below show the original brake line hose bracket vs. the Goodridge Stainless Steel Tee adapter:


First install the Goodridge M10x1.0 to -AN3 Adapter, don't forget to cooper seal/gasket:



Then the XRP -3AN FORGED Female to Female Swivel (only XRP product in -AN3 size):



Then the Staubli DryBreak:


Then connect the Goodridge Hose to the Staubli:


I also bought several Goodridge adapter fittings in case I need them, but turns out I did not (at least not for this front brake setup at this moment):


Now I need to connect the Goodridge Tee adapter to the hose from the ABS:


Connected:




I haven't tightened all of them yet, because I need to get back working on my 998, but the front brake setup is ready. It is also ready when I replace the Brembo GP4-RR caliper with GP4-LM in the future.
Just a few more pictures of the Staubli:

The 2025 Panigale uses a similar brake line routing, a one into two, instead of the double banjo bolt on the right caliper like the previous model years.
