Is anyone still looking for a 1098R ? There would appear to be a pretty standard red one with good history still available at a car dealer's in Litchfield that has been around for a number of weeks. Asking £14950 but might take an offer. Andy
@RickyX Sell me those forks, you know you want to!! Think how many track days they could buy you! :grin:
I need to know how good they are having had them overhauled and resprung for my weight! Can't sell them until I have tested them to see if they are all they are cracked up to be! If they are...well...no deal!
My baby needing a wash but freshly MOT'd today. Forgot how powerful it was and how much it likes to lift the front as I have gone +2 in the rear. Least it sort of sits at 30 now unlike standard gearing.
obscene is already on the list Andy, I think there is another owner lurking on here but I didn't have time to take details/amend list so could well be 20 or more by now.
did you manage to look under the R to see if the termi rubs the very rear bottom of the belly pan ? Mine rubs where I have circled in third pic, has the dealer filed the bellypan down or have you to enable to pipework to fit, thanks
So I've just tried to take photos with my mobile and failed miserably. I have a full 70mm Termignoni system and the large bend at 90 degrees to the direction of travel has between 5 to 8mm clearance. The pipe that runs parallel to the direction of travel has about 1 to 2mm clearance and the carbon is stained from the heat. I have added several layers of heat resistant self adhesive aluminium tape to try and mitigate the heat. Worked on my 853 (748R) with a 54mm race system. Andy
I have a 70mm system on mine. Dunno if it rubs on the belly pan. It's got track fairings on at the mo' so I'm not overly bothered.
Where did you get your track fairings Ricky? I'm tempted to take my nice originals off and stick some beaters on for track days.
They were on it when I bought it so I don't know the make, sorry. Original bodywork all wrapped in bubble wrap in the garage.
I have some lying about that came with my 1098R. The beauty of them is that they are "pre-beaten" :Woot:. Surplus to requirements as I've converted back to a road bike from a track day toy.
and I always called you Rob up to now.. still, at least we can tell they didn't belong to Mary :smileys:
according to howmanyleft there is around 130 1098R in UK. so 110 owners are not members of this forum??? that's really weird?
