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...

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...

I then reinstall the Ilmberger Carbon Fiber Timing Belt Cover for the horizontal cylinder that was taken off to prevent scratching while installing the wiring harness and Goodridge Oil Line for the Cylinder Heads:

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...

Put a lot of Gadus Grease B on the Motocorse Titanium Brake Caliper bolts: Tightened the brake caliper bolts lightly Pull the brake lever then tightened all the brake caliper bolt to torque: Apply Gadus Grease B on the lower fork axle ProTi Titanium pinch bolts: Tightened the right side...

Going back a few weeks again, Start with the dual Banjo bolt from ProTi with Ducati's original cooper washer: Adjust the position of the front brake fluid reservoir, make sure it will clear the front fairing (and front fairing holder): Everything looks ready, all bolts tightened to torque...

A bit of intermezzo... I want to see which rear view mirror color I should choose, so I need to install the front fairing temporarily to do that... Ok, back a bit... I actually already have the original RED color 998 plastic rear view mirror. I also have the brand new old stock still sealed in...

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...

Welcome to the forum Hunter, We all will love, learn, and enjoy from your modification journey.

I still have the original Fuel Pump assy. From my 998, and initially, I thought of selling it, but then I thought about it, I decided to just build a SECOND set of fuel pump as a spare. I will of course make this second fuel pump assy. looks as good as new set. First thing is to start collecting...

Next, well actually this is many months ago (I just forgot to post it), a PAIR of Custom CNC machine Titanium Injection Holder arrives: I also found a pair of Titanium adapters to AN6 for the fuel line to be attached. This Titanium Adapter (with heatsinks) normally used for part of Turbo...

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...

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...
