New to the forum, but not the passion

He had some supposed super stock cams but didn’t know the specs. I’ll find out if he still does. Pm sent

 

[SuperLite]

Lightweight subframe for the under tail exhaust, no idea who makes it, never seen one quite like it.

got a good deal on forged wheels and was surprised to find them lighter than the cast magnesium 5 spoke marchesini, which, to be fair, is a 6 inch

 

[SuperLite]

Also built some forks out of 999 internals and 996 uppers, spent a lot of time on the valving and they feel amazing, absolutely no stiction!

 

[SuperLite]

Got one head ready for a little trim

 

[Don14R]

That’s a lot!

What size were the oem valves?

They’re the same size as the 1198, don’t know off the top of my head.
The mts has inline injection and seeing the residue of fuel caked onto the side of the intake tracts made me scratch my head as to why Ducati does this.

these should fit nicely with a sbk airbox, but if I ever find someone to do my crank/layshaft to get my goal displacement, a custom carbon fiber airbox will be fabricated with meticulous laziness

Your 1098 should be 42/34

1198 are 43.5/35.5

Hey Don where do you get all your info from? The resident techs at Newport Ducati?

Your 1098 should be 42/34

1198 are 43.5/35.5

 

[Don14R]

I had a 1198

Thx

Most techs couldn’t tell you which direction the crank spins without looking in a book : )

the motor i was speaking about is a mts1200 motor, which has the same valves as the 1198, but smaller intake ports. if you were thinking of the 1040 motor with sf848 heads, i believe they have the same valve sizes as the 848 evo (39.5/32) but not 100% on that.

Completely switching directions, so I will try to post three build threads soon:

1: Streetfighter

1260 mts1200 based block
1198 cams
848evo flywheel/stator
sf848 harness
sf848 frame
848 mono subframe
1198 70 mm termis with shortened cans
999 transmission
1098 clutch housing
kbike slipper
ohlins shock from a 1098 with traxxion dynamics preload adjuster, machined to allow for preload to be backed all the way off
stock forks with andreani rebound piston kit

2: SBK

1040 sf848 block with pistal pistons
848evo cams
microtec ecu
nichols 9ozflywheel
sf848 transmission with a custom dry yoyodyne slipper
sf848 custom mono subframe
sf848 headers with shortened cans
sf848 harness
848evo swingarm
220mm galfer wave rotor with 996rear brake and mount
ohlins racing ttx with linear link (might be kyle racing, might be motowheels, no logos so I have no idea)
999 gold nitride forks with 996 uppers

3: Air cooled SBK

ds1100 block with wiseco pistons
s2r1000 harness
microtec ecu
47/41 valves
dp flywheel
1198 frame
custom aluminum subframe with minimal bodywork
848 evo swingarm
848 headers adapted to the 2v exhaust ports
cored and shortened oem 848 cans
hm1100 forged wheels
200mm rear rotor with custom mount
stock 848 rear suspension(for now)
single rotor front brake setup with 999 4 pad 4 piston caliper
forks with 996 internals and 848 ohlins valving

I'll leave the rest of the details for the actual threads lol

Project 2v 1198 frames streetfighter is a go, just taking my time shimming the cases for the swingarm. This modification is not for the feint of heart though, it’s super involved and requires precise measurements that would be much better suited for a lathe.

now I just gotta bore out some 53mm lower triple trees to 54 mm so I can use my supremely rebuilt monster forks and 50mm rizoma upper triple tree/bars, customized for more adjustability. Trying to decide if I wanna throw bodywork on it

 

[RdashP]

Looks like next level mechanics. Nice works going. Welcome!

 

[Don14R]

Was the swing arm sloppy in there or are you using different arm or what’s up?

On 1199S side to side is only supported on one side!

The xx98 series has bearings in the swingarm, needle on the chain side and ball on the other side, both supported by bushings, so when you tighten the swingarm pivot bolt, it pinches everything together while still allowing for free bearing movement. It’s more structurally sound than the single sided monster setup since the frame is pretty beefy where it mounts to the swingarm, as opposed to the monster cases taking all the load from the swingarm/foot pegs. I’m not too satisfied that the pivot mount won’t be a snug fit in the case, but people have done it before with success.

this allows me to just bolt on a light subframe, achieving my goal of adding lightness while also having a more stable platform to build the suspension around.

the only caveat: fabbing up 848 pipes to 2v headers is gonna take a lot of time.
