I'd decided that if I was going to go to the trouble of new engine cases and gearbox, then I should go all out. The objective was to make the bike 'mint'! And go as good as it looks! It had 82rwhp before so, with some careful tuning, 95+ might potentially be achievable.
And so, armed with only a laptop and my trusty credit card I went completely nuts. Most of the stuff I bought new and was soon winging its' way to NZ from the 4 corners of the globe. I figured I'd go "OMG What have I done???" when I got my credit card bill!
I think I mentioned I'd already got, courtesy of Muzza Bikes:
• New crank cases with close ratio gearbox (this would requite a change to the later master & slave cylinder set-up). The original balanced crankshaft, alternator and cover retained
• Marchesini 5 Spoke front wheel
• Keihin 41mm FCR flat-slide carbs (split) with Malossi short manifolds
• 45mm high rise spaghetti exhaust with carbon (Akrapovic?) mufflers, which I had polished
• Ported and polished heads
Muzza also sourced for me:
• Late model Brembo Rotors with cast iron discs
• ‘95 Upper Triple Clamp in his own brushed stainless finish.
And from Muzza's personal Supersport, which he had converted to a Superbike front end
• '95 900sSupersport forks with Race-tech valves
• Muzza Bikes specially modified speedo drive =)
• Brembo Gold calipers
On top of all that, I also bought (or had made):
• MBP valve collets for my heads, and
• New Ducati Performance cams, plus
• 900SSie adjustable pulleys
• K&N Pod Filters
• '02 Supersport lower triple clamp and axle
• Braided brake lines lines (front and rear)
• New (Gold-line) brake and clutch master cylinder
• Mad Duc clutch cover
• Clutch case cut outs (by Rob Selby ex Britten)
• Barnett aluminium clutch basket
• Motorize (Germany) aluminium clutch plates
• Rizoma billet clutch pressure plate
• Ducati 400SS flywheel (machined and lightened by Rob Selby)
• TPO stainless steel engine bolts
• Ignitech computer adjustable ignition
• Ducati Monster S4R oil cooler with S2R braided lines
• CNC milled rearsets
• Shorai lightweight battery
• LED Indicators
• Ilmberger (Germany) Carbon Hugger
• Ilmberger (Germany) Carbon 888SP2 front mudguard
• Carbonworld (Germany) Vented Sprocket Cover
• Billet bar ends
I still had to source:
- Coils
- Plug leads
- A Re-covered seat and
- A Ducati speedo
And this is what some of those bits and pieces looked like.
