Ducati 999 / 749 Top fairing race loom / Harness | eBay

heres the front bit of the loom quite rare these second hand.

 

Ah, OK scrub that then.......its for a track bike eliminates rake loads of wiring.
as you were then a 998 loom would be the best bet then but rare.....it means you can use the stick coils rather than the older bulkier ones

 

Andy is actually trying to be helpful. Tbh you could do worse than listen to what he says

 

If I were you I'd stop buying stuff and sit down to work out what you'll need. As has been said, quad injectors have been tried before by people with lots of Ducati tuning experience and not been found benificial. If I were you, the cheapest way forward would be to buy a complete bike. Buying a bike from parts will almost certainly work out more expensive in the long run. Simple things like looms/electric, and even headlamps cost a bomb on ebay! There's so much more to a bike than the frame and motor, and the little bits all cost.

 

You are being very defensive, all that have commented on your project so far are respected members with quite a lot of knowledge between them , you have your own thoughts as to the way you want to go but you can also learn a lot from these lads, they have been there and done it. I look forward to your progress.

I have 20+ years experience in riding, tuning, racing, touring, and re-building Ducatis. If you're not interested in peoples advice or suggestions that's fine. I wish you the best with your project but I'll not be contributing to this thread again.

 

Hi Restricted, I understand the ethos is to build a complete bike from parts (on ebay) without buying a complete rolling chassis or a "runner".
You said you had a budget , do you mind telling us what this is for the completed build.
As you say it will be road legal --- will you be using soley Ducati parts from current/older models adapted to fit or will you consider using non Duke parts .
I race in a somewhat limited capacity and know pretty well how to handle a bike and do basic tuning work on my bike, mainly with bolt on extra's i.e exhausts slipper clutches and weight removal, shock and suspension work , but know ferk all in comparison to others on here.
But I look foward to seeing pics of the build along with detailed assesments and costings.
Best of luck
Regards Pete.

 

Hi Nick,

Tell me about it! But my 851 is still well on budget to the asking price of 1992 851's........... But i have now found the original engine which is way up north under a bench bought as a spare off the original owner of my unfinished restro project!

 

Impressive build Andy

 

What sort of Twat asks for advice on a forum, then ignores it and says, "I" know best, and takes the piss, after admitting he knows nothing about Ducatis ? What school do you go too ? Perhaps if you hadn't have been so "upitty" you might have gotten better results. So take a breath, listen to whats been said, after all, they are only trying to help, and they have many, many years of experience between them. Please feel free to ignore me as well.

 

bit harsh that , this is just the thing that gets Ducati owmers/forums a bad name as elitist and aloof, throttle back a bit guys if you cant give and take without being extreme then there's no hope for a decent thread build,and I for one would like to see how it turns out.
The guys only asking for help, ffs , .
I'd say it's his call on how he builds and what he uses ,and not how you want it built.

Besides if you dont like it there are other threads to view.
