Gentlemen,

I find the low and rounded profile of the 1299/1199 OEM tank quite a challenge in regards to getting a proper leg grip on the track. For those of you who track your 1299/1199, have you done anything to improve the leg grip on your tank? Stomp grips (or similar padding), tank extension or anyone who went for a different tank design?

I was considering an RS/WSBK tank to get a better profile, but the number of mods necessary to fit the tank onto the standard 1199 platform are quite extensive.

Any good idea would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
 
the “trickle down” or “cascade” effect to mods. What all is required to run the rs tank?

Regarding tank grip, I’ve tried techspec, stomp and easy grip. I felt the easy grip was most effective.
 
Hi Craig,
To run the RS tank, the following parts would be needed:

Tank
Tank mount bracket
seat cowls
Seat support bracket
Front tank cover
Fuel cap
Seat pad base
Seat pad
Sub frame
Lower tank shroud
Head shield
Fairings
Then would need repositioning of all the electronics. As the weight distribution would change, it would also be worth consider the RS extended swing arm.

Ah, yes. Essentially tank and associated parts, seat and associated parts, and subframe and bodywork.

I had a similar discussion regarding trickle down mods with my builder regarding possibly transferring fgr300’s from my 2015 R to my v4 that is also currently getting the RS bodywork and a wsbk replica exhaust (thought the exhaust might require the RS tank).
 
I have tank grip and don't have an issue with grip check that your peg to knee height is correct (rear sets) and that your body position is right.
 
Now that would be like decorating your cow with some extra bows and bells you ... hat.

Racer's Edge (Racers Edge) makes a promising one that I'm also thinking about if adjusting my rearsets doesn't help. It uses the stock seat and is cheaper in price if you go for the fiberglass version ($150) and the carbon one is $300

Racingseat.it also make an extension plus seat (Home :: Parts :: Ducati :: 899 / 959 / 1199 / 1299 / V2 :: Seats :: RaceSeats Ducati 899 959 1199 1299 Panigale Carbon Base Racing Seat / Tank Extension)

Prick has borderline personality disorder that got triggered from a thread where he (and others) was being a dipshit about COVID. Since I disagreed with him, didn't put up with his ........, and didn't acquiesce to nuances of his mental disorder, he harasses and bullies me. Literally stalks me from thread to thread. Just look at my threads (via profile) and then look at the next post after mine. He's there. I'd hate to see how he is in real life considering how he is here. I wouldn't be surprised if had a restraining order out on him
 
about Covid eh? didn't catch that...pls tell me its not the typical :

"Covid is a hoax and the VAC is a money grab" non-sense... Anti VAC?

(unrelated my next door families' mom just died, after 10days...66 yr old walks a couple miles each day..healthy no underlying issues....but deep into trump world and Foxnews....Dying wish?? For her whole family to get vac and of course admitted she wished she would have gotten it too.

I cant even anymore with these people...

Yeah correct RAC has no history on here he is just a troll that replies to every thread here on the board. The tools are coming soon so once available he will be gone.

I don’t hate anyone, I’m just not a big fan of absolutes in an ambiguous environment nor am I a big fan of opinions in the absence of personal experience though I’m probably guilty of that myself, I try to provide accurate information based on something I have actually done or experienced.

The Covid thing took a twist as expected and lines were drawn. Personally I thought the eviscerating event Gupta experienced at the hands of Rogan was epic and further exposed the narrative.
 
Hi Mick and Endo....i would like yalls help on my coolant thread pls!

(aside from our covid differences, yall are a wealth of knowledge on these bikes and i value the time you've both taken to educate me.)

HA!!! "I’m just not a big fan of absolutes" but when Gupta provides cogent non-absolute answers he gets eviscerated. Love the hypocrisy. Covid-deniers/antivaxxers will never change their mind no matter the evidence presented or the expertise given. The only time they'll change their mind will be on their deathbed when drowning in their own secretions. Too little too late.
