Nice work, a little paint and it will be very cool. :biggrin:
-
Brilliant! Let me know when the production model is ready! :fing02:

Nice pics, love the GG, where's this? -
More info: Not sure what the stock spring diameter is, you'd have to measure that and check the Ohlins charts again. More reading here: http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/tech/suspensionspring.php Is there a listing anywhere of the stock spring rates for the VFR Showa shocks? Specifically the 5th gen? edit: Racetech website to the rescue, they report 15.3 kg/mm (stock).

Dig in to my wallet!! :unsure: Thanks for the tip Kel, welding sounds like a little better approach than boring out the original stem.
-
:rolleyes: I asked about this but Tom didn't mention the different stem sizes just that they swapped over and I hadn't taken a very close look at it until now.....now I see the R is 30mm dia and the RC is 35mm. Great..
-
Kel, it looks like you used the 929 lower. Did it fit the frame or did you swap out the steering stems? Looks great, I'm going through a similar RC swap on to my '85 R.

Nice pics. :thumbsup: What tail pack is that, a Ventura? -
Goodness I can't believe the bashing... That is a cool project Travis, best of luck and keep the updates coming. :thumbsup:

Looking great! :rolleyes: I love the white wheels but it seems like they would be so much maintenance. What's that shock from again? Must post more pics! :thumbsup:

Great work there! Care to expand on the comparison between the R1 and RC front ends? I have the RC on my '99 currently, would appreciate feedback on the differences. Bike looks great, blue color, wheels and all. :thumbsup:

No Repsol?!? Never used the stuff but I hear some guy named Nicky likes it.. :rolleyes: I've stuck with Valvoline for 20 or so years. I just haven't been convinced synthetic or MC specific oils have enough benefit to justify the additional mortgage on the house to pay for them. The evidence may be there, I just haven't bothered to look for it.. :lol:

That's a great section too, then 89 in to Truckee. Also 88, Carson Pass, off of 49. I rode that a couple of weeks ago, then up 49. It's been years since I went over Carson pass, it's now my favorite. -
Mine did rub for whatever reason so I removed the inner fairing. There's all kinds of room now, you can reach in and change the turn signal bulbs, unplug your coil wires if you want, carry a lunch, store a cat or small dog...
