  1. Sure it will be. I've got some ready to go on as soon as I get round to it. Don't know whether to use the small triangular strips yet though.

  3. So you've bought another 848? How come? Still keeping the 1199 and SF?
     
  4. Yes, I love the trellis frame and underseat exhaust, was gutted when I parted with my 848 Evo dark and vowed I would have another one some day so now I have and yes keeping the other two :)

  5. I miss my 848 too ...
     
  6. Had 10 min blast home as it wasn't ready till 4 and I am out tonight so had to get home. It felt so nice.
     
  7. What is it you miss most about your 848 Dom? As someone who finds the Panigale tempting, I find it interesting that alot of those that have moved on still miss their 848's
     
  8. They're just too good Bal! ;)

  9. Can't really put it into words why I miss it. The Panigale is too good I think and I liked being able to rag the 848 about.

  11. Fitted the full termi system. Renthal Q/R sprocket with carrier and brembo monoblocks.
    Just realised that the rear hugger won't be any good as it touches the bigger pipe when sat on the bike.
    Is there only the short DP hugger that won't touch the termis? I would have liked to have fitted one of those powerbronze huggers after seeing one fitted to @Old Jock 's bike. Would anybody know if it'd fit ok with the bigger termi pipe?

    Y piece needs the spring lugs re welded on the out side to match up with the slash cuts. I'll get them TIG'ed on tomorrow.

  12. don't you think such a clean bike deserves a better looking drivechain ?
     
  13. Still a bit of life left in it. I'll wait until later on then change the full set. Going to go a bigger sprocket on the back anyway
     
  14. No hanging about there mate!

    Looking good :)

  15. haha, no mate. working nights this week so have time during the day :)
     
  16. Had another few ride outs the last couple of weeks from a fews hours to short half hours here and there each way and must say since i fitted the Superpole seat I've had no aches and pains in my wrist or arse so far, i can't believe how much difference it has made in my enjoyment of riding the 848 :D
     
  17. When I had my Evo dark in 2011 I bought a power bronze hugger, I had full system on that one and hugger didnt fit :( Couple of weeks ago I bought a hugger from Conquest Carbon it is longer than the DP one and fits no problem even with the full system on Corse SE :)

  18. What front number boards are recommended on the 848/1098/1198? Really like the look of the 1098R with the white front and wish to replicate that.
     
  19. I got mine from carbon trader, couldn't find a great deal of choice anywhere other than the motografix ones. Not the easiest things to fit.
