Looks nice mate! What tank sliders are you running?

@MaverickiB did you go straight for the tank cover/extension or have you tried Race Seats extender?

I'm waiting on my Race Seat extender to arrive. Hoping it makes it easier for me to lock into the bike and keep my weight off the bars under braking, it just doesn't seem like much of an actual extension. @RickD996 you've had success with the extender?

@Jr51 what geometry changes have you made? I went up to 11n.m front fork springs to help under hard braking, but will be going back to the oem 10.5 and dropping the forks flush with the triple. Hoping that will give me the braking stability I want and the lighter springs will improve turn-in.

Has anyone used the Jetprime e-wire throttle conversion? Seriously considering it. Was surprised out much longer throttle throw on the V4 compared to the rest of the Panigale family.

Do you know number of OEM spring rear shock?
My bike use front 100nm and rear shock 95 it shake too much?

Base V4, Akra, MotoXP, Ohlins FGK cartridges, Ohlins rear, Vesrah XX, Pirelli SC.

You've got an R model?

There are some throttle inserts you can get. They completely eliminate the slop and makes the throw very nice and connected. Super easy to install as well. I forget the brand but I got mine from Boulder Motorsports.

I also ordered a tank extension from Carbott Composites. I didn't want to change the whole seat assembly. I should get it next week and will report back. I'm going to the track this weekend. I made some massive geometry changes and looking forward to testing them out!

JetPrime do a very nice throttle tube which eliminates the slack in the throttle.

My friend and I just started tracking 2020 base models. Working on converting to track only.This is a great thread. Picking up a lot of good info. Thanks guys.

Anyone have experience with the DBholders intake? I'm sure I could put it anywhere, but I'm wondering if there's a particular recommended spot to put the intake temp sensor, as the racing intake doesn't have a cutout for it.

I just used a dremel tool to cut a slot and bolt holes to put it in the same basic position as the stock location

Can you share a pic? I need to do the same, but don't have the oem fairings and I don't recall where the stock location is? Thanks!

Bikesplast fairings fit relatively well. Having predrilled Dzus fasteners is a godsend. The markings for where bolt holes should be are accurate, only one instance where drilling through the center was slightly off and needed some finessing.

curious. Looks like you have a Base V4. Did you strip your tank? replace it with an R? or paint it? Looks good!

Afiix Moto tank cover, note the shape of it

This. Had a buddy paint it the aluminum color.

Almost ready, hoping I can get track time in January, waiting to see what the covid response in CA is gonna be. A few more little odds and ends to take care of, but she's just about done. Decided to keep the kickstand on because I'm a one man operation, makes it easier to deal with getting in and out of the paddock.

Not bad for a little 2018 base model V4 with 11k miles

I went straight for the cover/extension because it makes a pretty drastic change in tank size/shape. Locking in to the tank is incredibly easy, and hard braking doesn't take as much effort to stop myself from sliding too far up on the seat. It's also some form of protection from road rash if/when it goes down. Lastly, I'm not sure if the extension/seat works with SBK style fairings. I have fairings from Bikesplast on the way and the tail section will be SBK requiring seat foam. Regular seat mounting points won't be there.

How did the fairing from Bikesplast workout for you?

Is that the Jetprime integrated throttle housing? If it is how has it worked out for you so far? Are those Bikesplast fairings? Looks like you're running a different seat?
