  3. @bettes Yes mate rode it last night, not very far only about 5 miles, slipper clutch is bloody awful on the road so might sell it and put the original back in. It's so smooth once up and going and picks up really well. I forgot how stiff the ohlins are on these bikes as well but it's sounds epic.

  4. Slipper is fine on my 996 and 999. I'd image it should be on you SPS too.

  5. @cookster , what’s up with the slipper? When Clive fitted it to mine, I found it miles better for everything including finding neutral. Gear changes were / are silky too.

  7. All finished now chaps with new wheels in, had to remove the rear hugger as it rubbed the wheel but think it looks better now any way

  9. @ducati dad I did think about carbon airtubes but then got to faff with getting air filters in the air box ect ect, going to keep um standard.

  11. Is that a 190/55 rear, it looks huge, and out of interest I notice you've gone for Dymags as opposed to BST, any reason?

  12. Looks mint mate! Think the CF air tubes would look well as mentioned above. Try to find a pair or DP ones so you don’t have to dick about with aftermarket air filters. Mirrors would look better painted red IMO. :upyeah:

  15. @Anje it's a bit of a pig to ride tbh because of the clutch need to get it sorted. Once up and running it goes like stink and handles great.
    @RCGBOB44 Yeah had these wheels for ages briefly sold um to @Ash34 but got um back , they were on my 748r then my 748 track bike now on this.
    @bettes where can I get dp airtubes from now??
     
    #155 cookster, Oct 25, 2018
  16. I run DP C/F air tubes on my 998 with the filter runners removed as I run JHP undertank filter and the quality of the DP stuff is crap, hold on its not quite as good as crap so my advice would be to go for decent aftermarket items.
     
    #156 RCGBOB44, Oct 25, 2018
  17. Cheers mate, I'm not keen on those jhp foam filters, I've seen a few sucked into the throttle bodies.
     
    #157 cookster, Oct 25, 2018
  18. There are other makes of carbon air tubes that take the standard filters , I have a pair on my bike, the annoying thing is I can't identify the make.
