So it’s been the 2nd winter that I’ve had the pleasure of owning my 998. I actually love this bike and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of modifying! Started life as a std 998, not an S, or an r as I just couldn’t afford them at the time. So, I’ve gone about increasing the spec to my own taste which I think is turning out well. Mods this winter are, full carbon fairing, painted to my take on an r version but to also match the std 998 tank decal, black wheels, new exact start battery leads, new billet corse sprocket flange, nos magnesium clutch casing, new EVR 48t clutch, carbon belt covers, rear hub re zinc plated, Ti bolts to be added and I think that’s it! Roll on next winter
Wheels look good but I would have gone for satin instead of gloss....just a personal thing. I like the forks, do they fit the standard clamps or are those Ohlins triple clamps? You might want to cut your exhaust heat shield to just above the heal plate.
It has been cut and shaped so it fits together without rubbing. As for the wheels, I did toy with satin but the gloss looks mega when you’re stood next to the bike
Still in the same place! Mainly on the bike lift with all the lockdown living! I’ve not done a great deal more to the bike other than servicing and cleaning. I am considering having it detailed by a professional as there’s a few swirl marks I’d like to get rid of and she’s off for a belt service in a week or so ready for when they lift the restrictions
Well, it really doesn't need anything more, you've already got all sorts of really nice upgrades on an already lovely bike. All it needs is a twisty piece of tarmac, nice weather, and an enthusiastic rider!
I bought a complete set from Speed Carbon last year. I agree they are great to deal with and made a quick delivery. They are super light but you are buying a race fairing and as such it needs quite a lot of fettling to fit well and sanding to remove mould marks. It does not come as a lacquered ready to bolt on item as from Carbon King or CNC Racing. Who did you get to do the spray job Wooly it looks very tidy?
