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

    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

    The Obtainable Brembo GP4-MS, GP4-RR, GP4-PR, GP4-RS, GP4-RX and Unobtainable Brembo new GP4 caliper

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    Thanks @SBK-SP My initial thought was exactly the same as yours, of using a foam filter with a stainless steel mesh screen to hold it. I actually already purchased the foam filter and stainless steel mesh screen before I purchased the K&N air filter. But creating a mounting to hold the stainless...

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

    What next hmm.. Ok... K&N ... I spent hours on K&N website try to find any air filter (for any bikes) that meet my dimensional requirements. You see, my MS Production Carbon Air Box (with larger air intakes) does not have any provision to install air filter. I bought the BMC air filter for the...

    1198S "just for fun" track build

    Wow, this is a great technical track build. Can't wait to see more updates from you. I also just bought that STM Clutch Slave Cylinder in the same Red color, because they came in 28mm, while the Oberon that I previously had was 29mm. My STM evoluzione SBK clutch was not releasing with 29mm...

    R cams in an S, tuning options

    Hi @Aharp , this is a spectacular project, However, isn't the V4R has 998cc displacement? What kind of modification that you plan to do (mechanically) to make the V4R top end fit the 1103cc Panigale V4S?

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

    In the meantime, my order for several different sizes of RayChem rubber heat shrink for my wire harness modification project arrived, so I immediately use it to further protect the Rockford Fosgate ground wire where it bend near the Motocorse Exhaust Manifold: Stay tune, things are getting...

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

    Luckily, I found a Flasher Relay that designed for LED turn signal (prevent hyper flashing without the need to add resistor) and directly compatible with the Ducati socket for the Flasher Relay: However it is larger than Ducati original flasher relay, so I had to move it several time until...

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

    Now, time to pay attention to the Main Negative Ground Cable. Initially, I want to purchase a brand new ground cable from Ducati, but they are no longer available as new parts. The ground cable that came with my 998 is still in very good condition, but I just feel it is not perfect if I am not...

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

    Hmm.. what was next yah... ok let me see... I am trying to figure out how to install the brake lever in combination with the larger rear master cylinder I took from my Panigale V4S because the super nice looking lever that came with Motocorse Rear Set for 1198 kit just doesn't fit right. Since...
