Going to race this next year.

I ordered the bike with the following;

Ducati Performance Carbon Fiber Front Fender
Ducati Performance Reverse quick shifter
Ducati Performance DDA+ GPS Lap Timer Kit
Ducati Racing articulated lever kit

Thanks to Jarel and Jen from Ducati Omaha, and DazR

Full Akra system
Yoyodine Slipper Clutch
Ducati Performance Fuel tank cap





Rearsets from a Austin Racing supplier ( On Order )

I am going with Mupo suspension and have ordered the rear shock, front cartridge kit and Steering damper.

Still haven't made up my mind on Fairings.
I have had good experience with CRUCIATA and CRC.

Awesome choice! Have you seen the pics of Jarel's build? It's pretty awesome and might give you a few ideas: 899 Track Bike Build - Ducati 899 Panigale Forum

 

[rubbish]

Paul, try Armor Bodies for the fairings. Good quality and cheaper than most. Or Sharkskinz if you want excellent quality, but they're a bit more expensive.

And yes, Jarel's track 899 is pretty awesome now!

Racers Edge in Windsor do a quality job. Dearer than Chinese but perfect fit and easy to paint.

I contacted them and they have just completed making the moulds for the Pani. Should have a price in the next few days.

 

[W17]

Just get the CRC,s again . The fit is perfect .

 

[Maxsam]

They are dearer but mine are 18months old and look like OEM. Mate has Chinese at half the price, chipped and cracked in a few spots but still look good from a distance of 2m

Horses for courses.

I know it would be a bit of heft to ship to Aus, but if I could through my hat in the ring, I have carbon fiberglass bodywork that is about the same price as the fiberglass only bodywork. These are 1098 bodywork pics, but I can have the Pani bits made.

Here are some pics for you.

I went with the CRC as I have a few spares from a 1199.

Also ordered,
1199 flat-rate rear suspension linkage
Carbon key guard
TechSpec Tank Grip Kit
Pit-Bull Swingarm Spools Not (use to ordering these for a Ducati )

Can't wait for your on track impressions!

First Full race week end on the bike and I absolutely love it.
Had a issue with breaking in the first race and was told to change this and that from a few people and good old X27 had a chat with me and he worked out it was a rider problem. I was being too aggressive on the brakes ( just grabbing a big handful ) and unsettling it. Went slower in the next race as I got used to trying to ease them on settle the bike then applying more pressure. Bike went well and was great under breaking. Next 2 races managed to cut nearly 1 second off my times and give me a PB for the track.

Did you have Daz's mechanic helping you? Heard he has some spare time now....
