I apologize as I don't share much here. Thought I would though, finally getting some time to work on her. Just finishing up the Moto Corse links and Bitubo shock and about to trim the carbon cover a little. Did the Akrapovic yesterday, no choice really as a first world problem of mine, is my initial image of her. Tired of even thinking about it. Routing sensor wires with braided sleeves and then the left side carbon electronics holder tonight hopefully. And finishing my brackets for the Brake coolers because the cnc Racing ones don't work with these pinch bolts, and are ugly even if they did. This is my lifetime dream build, one hand measured swapped to Proti bolt at a time. Everything. Back to it, thanks for looking.

NESBA what is that thing?
Ah sorry it's an FE I should have looked a little closer.
Nice mods! you obviously like red
Thanks!!! Everything is going back together in planned stages, definitely a lot of red right now [emoji23] The suspension is a lot of it by default too, and the Bitubo fork cartridges will add more. All my builds have different color wheels, just always dug it. That said, I'm building a rolling Italian flag. The new bst split 5 spoke carbons, green front and red red rear; with a green rear Beringer Caliper and red Beringer front calipers. With Sicom carbon ceramics and all Proti hardware.
My dream was always ducati twins; when I could afford it. Next thing I know I'm 40 and the FE is being released. Then the exhaust kicked service plugs and fried things, I was frying tires like crazy on those cut-rate TTX look alikes. The brakes at NCBIKE were scaring me badly on the front straight, felt undecided at times. Then the recall.
So I love the motor so much I built a bike around it is what I'm getting at [emoji23]

The power is like nothing else, it's always there. I was doing break in miles at VIR this thing is so much fun! And now with the Akra race system and upmap, well this should be GOOD! I'm Agents Of Italia on IG if you want to see the journey. Almost a year ago I got stuck on RT 211 through Shenandoah at night, with the busted candles for headlights they come with.
People called me dumb, said they wouldn't fit (led upgrade) and I'd kick codes. I worked really hard to learn what I know, so it was a favor, I had a challenge suddenly.
It's all there video by video. I gutted her, took control of everything after a lot of testing and using the wonderful wiring diagram in the oem manual. I decided to do something fun, like intercept the headlight activate signal in system and send an impulse to the ecu confirming function, but not the headlight relay supplying power.
So at track day, I flip a switch while fairings are being pulled to get at the fuse box by the other Panigale folks. And everyone stares at me like a space alien motor running and lights off [emoji23]
It's been a journey.

She makes faces too, led is just rgb after all; so my iPhone acts as a wireless brain and the led bulbs serve numerous purposes.

Tried a set of V3's yesterday. Wow. Won't be going back to V2's. Can't wait to try them on the track.
I always thought the 14T counter sprocket was a bit too short and the 15T too tall for the street. But now with a taller tire it couldn't be more perfect. Very happy with the results.
