  3. So when you've finished this it won't be a Ducati 848 but will be Rizoma 848 won't it?
     
  4. thats what the R stands for stupid..........:tongue:
     
  5. Yeah! Good call El Toro, Andy you nailed it hahaha I'm ready for other people having their own opinion on what a Ducati should be, but no one can tell me what my bike should be :)

    with that said...

  7. As long as you had the right rocker and rocker ratio to get the benefit out of it........the difference between blinging something and matching performance parts for an upgrade!:upyeah:
     
  8. The rear trac-link isn't really necessary unless you race the bike, my bike is built to be a streetable show bike, I never said that I would race it, I said that I want to enjoy my bike the way I am building it with the look that I want no matter what parts I put on it but that's ok because everyone is entitled to their opinions as I am lol!
    What's important is that I am sharing my views, build, parts...nobody has to like it but me, I am building something different and not your run of the mill race bike!

  12. Dude, it's your bike, your passion, your money ... go for it.

    Mine has lots of go fast bits but is completely different and kinda looks like a rat at the moment. I'm going to treat her to new race fairings though :wink:

    Mine has the rear trac-link but I'm not riding it hard enough to know how amazing it is yet. Hopefully soon, first race is end of March - 13 hours drive away :eek:
     
  13. Yes I was thinking about the trac-link but I am not going to race mine so it's really not that important at the moment for me, for you it's a different story because you will use your bike in a different way, good luck & I wish you all the best...ride safe & get some pics up, I definitely would like to see some!
     
  14. No worries mate, when I get some decent ones I'll stick them up. I'll book another track day for a few weeks time and see what happens then. Thanks
     
  15. The last time I saw that much gold bling on a vehicle, Ali G was driving it on Madonna's Music video :wink:

  16. That was a great video lol! Ali G. is cool hahahaha!
     
  17. Maybe some neat safety/twist wire rather than the cable/zip tie on the rear wheel clip? :smile:

  18. That's just on temporary, I am still wanting for my sprocket carrier to arrive then it will be finished lol!

  19. Ducati's recommendation is to cable tie it.....I'd put a gold one on if I were you tho.
