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

    A few posts above (and almost 2 weeks ago), I used the first version of Rizoma Stealth Mirror for First Generation (2018 to 2024) Panigale V4S to imagine what it would look like on my 998, and immediately, I want it that way. So, I decided to buy one of the first batch of Rizoma Stealth Mirrors...

    More updates: This Stainless Steel bolt for the hose clamp is "ok" but not up to level of "sophistication" as the other bolts and I found a perfect replacement from ProBolt UK :cool: So now it is Titanium by ProBolt UK. The only thing is, the ProBolt UK Titanium bolt does not have Phillips...

    Having said that, the 1198 clamp is very slightly loose, so I added a lining of foam tape: Now they are super snug, and tight: Same thing with the top clamp, also add the foam lining:

    Next, organize the routing of the front brake lines and the speedometer cable. The 1198 fork clamp I bought is perfect but it is not as simple to tightened, so I decided to Epoxy the ProTi Titanium Nut, this way I can just screw in the bolt easily without worry the nut can fall, slanted or spin...

    Now, it's time to bleed the clutch brake line. Install the Goodridge clutch line with a Goodridge swivel adapter from Metric to AN, then to the banjo. Yes, I need this adapter because, as I pointed out, these Goodridge 700 series Aramid Fiber reinforced hoses came from Goodridge with the wrong...

I will of course make this second fuel pump assy. looks as good as new set. First thing is to start collecting...

    Found some bargain on eBay UK, submitted an offer, and got lucky, so why not for some NOS Ducati Performance bike cover: Then, more Goodridge fitting needed to complete the brake and clutch lines arrived directly from Goodridge in UK: I need this banjo fitting for the first line to the...
