    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Melotti Racing is a small operation, many things they offer might not be listed on the website. The best way is to talk directly to them. They even sourced me the RVP-25 specific front mud guard bracket and speed sensor as used by Barni Racing Team for their WSBK bike, (which they do not listed...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    I am not sure why KTM RC8 C has 19RCS, but unless somehow they have more hydraulic fluid to move somewhere in the front brake circuit, that means, they will have less clamping power compare if they are using 17RCS. It could be by design, so it won't be as easy to lock up their front tires with...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    @bp_SFV4 , The larger your master cylinder diameter is, the harder you need to pull to create the same braking pressure on the caliper, meaning the larger the master cylinder bore diameter, the less braking force (to the caliper piston) it will provide with the finger power being constant...

    Ducati 998s FE Final Edition (REPLICA but MODIFIED FAR BEYOND the Original) Build Thread

    Here is the problem, it hit my Ohlins rear shocks. Please note, this is NOT the stock Ohlins that normally came with 998 this is the DU143, higher spec, thus the provision for mounting stroke sensor that hit the rear Ilmberger mudguard: So... I decided to just cut a hole in the Ilmberger šŸ˜…...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    I am not sure when the GP4-MS 100mm with cooling fins will ever be released because even the 108mm is still on backorder. However, they are different designs. The GP4-MS is a road caliper first, while the GP4-MotoGP is a track caliper first but can be used on the road. However, please note that...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Wow, that must be by design and make the R more suitable for track use. Very nice for Ducati to pay attention to this.

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Hello Spooky, You can order the Melotti clip-on handlebars with custom diameters. You can specify 53mm. Just contact them by email. Clara usually answers your email, and from time to time, Diego Melotti will also respond if the discussion becomes very technical. They are all super nice team. I...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Hello Spooky, I always thought the Panigale V4R came with the Stylema R caliper from factory, however after reading your post and check at Ducati website, it looks like they use the standard Stylema (NON-R) front caliper. The GP4-MS is still primarily design for road use. The first version of...

    D200 exhaust ID of the silencers.

    Thank you for the detailed information, and I am looking forward to this amazing project. Yes, please help share your project with us so we all can learn, and totally agree, it's hard to find time to work on our bike. If I can guess, the D200 silencers should have a larger inlet diameter than...

    D200 exhaust ID of the silencers.

    Why did you get upset? (by saying JEEZ MAN?) I know you asked a simple question, but it is obvious that no one here has the answer (about the diameter) for you (at least not until today). So I don't want to feel your question was being ignored, and just try to be a good host of this forum. You...

    D200 exhaust ID of the silencers.

    I see, if that is the case, and if you really want to use the D200 Silencers then my suggestion is to just buy them. If the diameter difference can be fixed with some grinding, than it will be easy. But if the diameter difference is too much, then you can have a professional muffler shop (many...

    Peter Lieb Still Making CF Parts?

    I mostly used Ilmberger or Peter Lieb or Ducati Performance for the Panigale V4, however I have to buy a FullSix for the rear brake caliper reservoir mount at one point, and their quality is not as nice as the Ilmberger/Peter Lieb/Ducati Performance. I personally think Peter Lieb is still #1...

    D200 exhaust ID of the silencers.

    Hello, from your picture, it seemed that you already had the D200 silencers in your hand. If that is the case, it's best to measure the ID yourself using a digital calipers. I fit a Termignoni universal silencers to my SC-Project WSBK undertail exhaust, and I had to perform some grinding to...

    Peter Lieb Still Making CF Parts?

    Hi @MileHayabusa, The last time I spoke to Peter, he was planning to retire, so I don't think he is making CF parts anymore.
