New Addition to my garage

2012 StreetFigther 848!

My close friend basically gave me the SF848 because he wasn't riding it...it has 2000 miles on it (300 miles was by me when I borrowed it for track few months back).

Excited that I am able to ride for commute and canyons.

I like to add few aftermarket parts on it.

I completed Brake and Clutch bleed flush, dust off / cleaning, and air in the tires - still need to do Oil change

For aftermarket parts in the future:
Sato Rear Sets (GP shift)
Quick Shifter
Levers
Grip
Seat (lower it) - its pretty tall and higher than Panigale
Tank bag
Exhaust - Akra? Termi?
Cosmetic Stuff

You might want to consider some new tires. If these are the originals, they were likely installed in 2011. That is beginning to get pretty old.

Super cool!!
I'm currently working on a friends SF 848 on the weekends, and I love this bike. Very easy to ride and to work on it. I love it.
Last thing we did was putting an undertail exhaust to it. Looks awesome on this bike.

Congrats!

Another funny mod we did was putting a Panigale hub and wheels on it

Thanks! Yeah, I think because of no fairings and everything in the open, I feel the same way and easier to work on it.

Interesting about the undertail exhaust. hmmm.

The lad I am helping with his bike is still in his apprenticeship. So there is no money at all and we have to find ways the pimp his bike with 2nd hand parts he finds (but are not really 848 OEM).

For the exhaust: I had to manufacture some Aluminium parts to reduce diameter for his exhaust, but it looks cool. Clip-On handlebars is another thing that makes this bike look even cooler! I make some pictures for you...

Congratulations now you have a street ride.
Pictures of a Pani based streetfighter sure do look cool. A future model maybe?

youngR said:

I think there is some interest in Pani StreetFighter for sure. Who knows with Ducati?, but Ducati seem to have many models and not sure if they will commit to it.

Maybe since Pani dont have a "frame" it will be weird without Fairings?

Something like SuperSport but naked?

@youngR: Today I started with the dry clutch conversion. Uhhhmmm, it's way more complicate than I thought. Original Ducati conversion kit doesn't fit at all on the 848 SF
Lot's of things have to be changed and I also had to start to manufacture some parts.
So I have to check with STM, EVR and Suter. The OEM non-slipperly clutch's inner parts do not fit anymore (some guys in Bologna must have had smoke huge amounts of weed!).
