You can see the brackets to support the plates but they don't serve a purpose to go fast around the track. That's one reason I went with the Termi's, most likely all the other options that will come out won't flow as cleanly with the lines of the bike. They'll build headers then stick two of their pipes on the end of it out of a parts bin.

If they look like this then I am happy. The plates need to be on there otherwise it looks like .....

I ordered the
Full Termi set
Carbon clutch cover
Carbon shock cover
Carbon license plate holder (easy removal for tracking)
Carbon rear hugger
Race seat

After grounding the bike, I rather repalce a $250 CF clutch cover than the $ ???? magnesium part itself.
Same with the generator cover & swingarm.

Works only with sufficient thickness, not just cosmetic covers.

Best,

Phile I know what you're talking about but, i'm sure he was refering to ppl who use CF tape...just for the look.

With that said, even the CF clutch cover seen on the superstock bike is insufficient for a decent slide.

The first time I installed a CF open cover on my 999 I realize it was a bad choice, tho it looked amazing. On more recent bikes i'v installed a more sturdy open cover...one which would likely allow me to ride the bike home in the even I go down.

Out of all the CF "protection" offered, the stator cover, water pump and clutch cover are the most insignificant pieces IMO lol.

I'd rather get the hugger and undertail exhaust shield in CF ;)

Cheers

Well yeah, with CF tape we're talking about youngsters making their CB 500's & 250 Ninjas look faster ;-) Can't imagine somebody putting that on a DUC. (hopefully!)

I rather wait for the aftermarket than to go with these thin Ducati CF parts... Or build my own molds and have some stainless steel inserts between the layers :D

Let's see...

Though I'm going with a full Termi system as well to start, I'll consider going back to a full Ti Akrapovic system, once they are available. I have little doubt that Akrapovic will design a better quality work of Ti art.
 
I don't race , just ride the streets. Any carbon I get , will mainly be for looks. Other than the shorter tag bracket , I'll be holding off for some after-market carbon bits. I want them in a high gloss , as I don't really care for the matte look. And , after-market is always less $$$$$. The parts I'd like to have in carbon would be ignition cover , swingarm cover , rear shock spring cover , maybe exhaust heat shield and rear hugger. Also getting some red rim-strips for my base's wheels. And will have to do something about those stock mirrors right away !
We're getting closer guys ! Not too much longer !

As much as I would love to have a full Ti system from Akrapovic, they are going to have to design some very stylish mufflers to tie in with the lines of the bike. If you look at most of their line-up, it's all the same few muffler designs spread across the entire range of bikes with different endcaps. I wouldn't switch to an Akro system because they come in Ti if the pipes look out of place on the bike.
 
If Akro were smart...Hint, hint if you guys are stalking around the forum...they should sell Ti headers that would mount up to the Termi's. I'd scoop those up in a heartbeat and I'm willing to bet plenty of others would go that route. Termi slip ons that look like they belong with 70mm Ti Akro headers. Yes please.

Agree, they would have to fit well. I'd go for the Aks if they nearly copied the Stock cans with a more pentagonal shap exhaust port than the oval one on the Termis. Sadly, I like the looks of the stock better than the oval port on the Termi system.

Remember, unlike the side mount exhaust, the under seat that they do for the 1098/1198 was hands down better than the oval Termi cans. Termi finally caught on over the last two years and produced a good looking system, though too bad they won't upgrade the line to Ti.

I'd be happy for every part to be carbon, as it looks better to me, but mainly because it is generally lighter for the same strength.

I do laugh when I see people put carbon over another part, thus adding weight and size simple to have the look of carbon. Defeats the entire purpose of having carbon in the first place to me.

It seems that you could easily spend another thousand or two just replacing parts with the carbon.
I really wish the Tricolore came with all the carbon bits standard, even if they raised the price a little more.
I'm sure they don't so they can make even more money.

I guess CF is personal taste. Justifying CF on weight saving alone is man logic IMHO....

I wonder how much weight you would save if you bought and fitted every carbon fibre part form 1199 accessory catalogue? I'd guess the total weight saving would be no more than 2KG and you would be thousands worse off.

Carbon fibre BST wheels might be worth the effort for the unsprung mass saving, but again I suspect the wheels fitted to the S will only be 2-3Kg more than full BST carbon wheels for both ends.

Your weight as the rider and the weight of your kit is probably more significant. Did you consider the weight of your leathers when you bought them?

As for crash protection I use GB Racing covers and these aren't CF either, CF isn't particularly abrasion resistant - GB Racing use "injection moulded 60% LONG GLASS fibre nylon 6.6 engineering materials" for their protection.

Most CF is still bling in my opinion, but don't let me put you off if you like it.

Now, where's that accessory catalogue ;)
 
In racing there is a saying - every gram saved is a dollar spent :eek:
Imagine yourself dropping 10 kilos! Lower centrum of mass, and all the dollars saved ;)
CF crashpads will definately lose against glass filled PA! Thanks for bringing that up.
 
Just a note on carbon rims 1kg of kit does not equal 1 kg of unsprung weight. and any weight reduction on the front wheel is going to make the bike turn a hell of a lot quicker. If you havent experinced carbon rims you will be surprised at the difference they make. I put them on my 848 and hello 250. It makes riding with other guys on stock rims a real treat., especially in the windy bits.

I hope to put them on pangale after have ridden it for a while with stock rims.

When I brought my leathers I only thought of saftey who cares if they weigh an extra kg

I'd never compromise on the safety of my leathers. I was just making the point that weight saving is holistic, no point in saving 2 grammes here if you add 2 kilos there.

Totally agree about the rims, which is why CF makes sense in this application irrespective of what it looks like.
 
No personal experience with CF rims, but the collapsed wheel pictures I've seen quite frankly scare me :(

Lets see what the race boys go with!
 
So we all have to go on a diet. I am 190 cm and about net 88kg. With a helmet, leathers, boots a few kgs extra. Now we all can loose our winter fat by some training, but when you are in your 40s it is difficult as hell.
