Oh, talking about light, I bought this dual-function tail light and brake light. Soon I will post why: I also purchased these custom Y-Splitter SuperSeal connectors from a vendor in Italy to be use with the 2 lights above... I think you might already know where I am going with this:

Now time to pay attention back to the Speedometer. First, I found this new but old stock real Ducati Carbon Fiber speedometer surrounds (to someday replace the foam): Test fit them, but I still need to refinished them in Matte Clear, so it will become DRY CARBON looks: First problem, the...

Now it is time to TEST to make sure these "MOTORSPORT Grade" wires work by first connecting all 3 wires (Ground, Indicator and Turn Signal) :ROFLMAO:: And yes, they worked: First, both left and right INDICATOR Lights (White LED): Then test the Left and Right turn signal, and again worked...

Because the original Ducati front turn signals are PURE turn signals and not designed to supply power for the indicator light, I need to run the wiring from somewhere else. And the easiest route to tap the power for the indicator light is through the bullet connection for the rear license plate...

Next, I tested the Front Headlight and the Rear Turn Signal function (with the special LED Flasher Relay) to make sure they are not hyperflashing: The Tail Light and Rear Brake Light also function well: I also change all the small light bulb behind the indicator light inside the...

Ok, now... it's time to make sure we have the most secure grounding system in the 998 world :LOL:. First, use dremel to sand out the paint and expose fresh layer of metal on the frame: Then add DIELECTRIC Grease to prevent rust and attached the new Ducati OEM Ground Cable to it, plus the...

Hello @all Sorry for the late update, I am very busy with so many good things, but I have a lot of updates that I will share soon.

Hello @all Sorry for the late update, I am very busy with so many good things, but I have a lot of updates that I will share soon.

A small update, I bought this Ducati OEM ground cable for some other model, because I need to run extra grounding for the ECU. I will update more soon

If any of you are thinking of buying Brembo products (or Ohlins), try contacting MRT Tech in Estonia (this is a clickable website link) I just received my Brembo GP4-LM with the endurance brake pads, and the special "RADIATOR" to help further separate the heat from the brake pads to the...

Today, something very special and crucial, the final piece of my build, arrived. The Brembo GP4-LM with the endurance brake pads, and the special "RADIATOR" to help further separate the heat from the brake pads to the piston. I bought everything from MRT Tech in Estonia (this is a clickable...

More pictures showing the crimping process: And done: Perfect Looking Motorsport Grade wire harness :cool: Test fit to the Coil on Plug:

Next I need to make a wire harness adapter for the Ducati 1198 Coil-on-Plug (Coil Stick) I used instead of the original 998 ignition coil. Most people just splice their wiring harness, but I decided I want to make it as clean as possible, so I bought the Bosch 3-Way Kompakt 1.1a Connector...

GP4-RR is SOLD :D

I had so much more to share, but let's jump to today's activity for now. The bike had been super dirty because I had never washed it, and all the carbon fiber dust from grinding the airbox while it was on the bike (to match the hole of the throttle body), so today I decided to wash it for the...
