Awesome build. Thanks for teasing us.
I had alot of doner 1199SL parts from my previous bike,and fitted them to this. So yes this bike is the latest 'R'

But you can modify a SL2 also..
Real tasteful mods Pumpdad,but im old school and think your 1199 was better looking.
It's not a bad deal on cold days. You get a tire warmer and oil pre-heat in one package. The WSBK exhaust uses variable tubing diameter to tune the system. The pipes are also a different diameter all around. On one set I saw there was a valve system. The exhaust that ships with the 1299sl is a WSBK "looking" exhaust not the same setup. Done purposely of course by Ducati. It's a great system but from a performance perspective, do not expect some crazy power advantage over the Termi, Akra etc. If you are using a monster pipe system (WSBK Termi, SPF Storm etc) then you are already aware that you should be looking at system design which includes electronics, injectors, injector positioning and injector port orientation. Im playing with this little setup on bike II motor with a modified Storm system. If you want to look the part, and you like the way the system looks, buy it but its not going to change anything from a statistically significant perspective performance wise.

Yes the clearance is very tight,but iv gotta tighten the chain which will give me a little more space. Theres abit more of a gap with the 1299SL as the carbon swingarm is longer than stock (only by 10mm mind).
