This place looks pretty legit, never joined because I don’t have a panigale but was urged to jump on here by my buddy Gunny.
started building bikes due to my obsession with panigales and at one point ended up with this:
don’t know why it’s flipped, but it’s an 1100cc s2r with an 899 subframe and as much panigale bodywork as I could fit.
never really could get it to mesh though, so I stripped it down and focused on making it super light.
while I was building, ended up finding this gem:
got it for so cheap that I gave myself an upgrade budget of the difference between what I paid and what the going rate was, so I ended up boring it out to 1040cc:
adding a mostly self engineered dry clutch:
mucking around with the exhaust and adding farkles(termis have since been placed back on, it was way too loud):
for some reason I have become obsessed with weight reduction through creative, less expensive solutions than just ordering light wheels, which I eventually caved on anyways.
as she sits now:
since I ended up deciding on a superlight theme, I picked up a slightly damaged subframe on eBay, chopped it up, and am working on structural composite bodywork at the moment.
a 1098 radiator and oil cooler were added in favor of the double radiator/heat exchanger setup, not only because it drops about four pounds, but it also cleans up the left side of the bike considerably while also making room to tuck all the electronics under the airbox.
still on the fence about the red hoses, but I really like the look of the aluminum pipes.
there’s a chance I’ll switch back to the streetfighter cooling system which leads me into my next crazy idea:
a buddy of mine convinced me to start looking for a spare motor because I was proposing a lot of experimental modifications, so I ended up picking up a 2011mts1200 motor for relatively cheap, considering the condition.
it has a broken crank between the left side case and cover.
not a big deal, but it gave me the idea to stroke it to 1260cc.
still figuring out the specifics, but once finished, the 1260 motor will go in the streetfighter frame and the 1040 motor will go in an undocumented frame for when I can get myself out of the garage and on the track.
the goal weight for the monster is 325lbs wet and the goal for the streetfighter is 375lbs wet.
the dedicated track bike will be a pure hybrid:
1198 frame
848 bodywork
1040 streetfighter motor with 848 evo cams and pistal pistons
Microtec ecu with the magical touch of ducshop
Ohlins ttx with Kyle racing linkage
Streetfighter exhaust and subframe
848 evo tank
Hypermotard forged aluminum wheels
999/996 hybrid forks
996 calipers(all I had laying around)
999 front rotors with fully floating buttons
Kbike slipper clutch with an s2r1000 clutch housing and hypermotard evo primary gears
Nichols flywheel
Gp shift
I plan on fabricating my own quick shifter using a momentary switch connected to a bracket hanging from the engine, but that’s once everything else is done.
Anyways, long post, I know, but I’m excited to jump in, trade knowledge, and share this beautiful passion!
