Far from stock Ducati 1198

[Jazza]

Hey all,

Figured seeing as I am pretty much finished with the modifications on the bike that I would post it and actually work out what I've done to the thing since I bought it just under a year ago! As most of you are probably aware they are a pretty mean bike stock standard weighing in at 171kg (dry) with a 170hp output but as per everything once I worked out all the bits I could modify and change on it and where to get the quality stuff from overseas I got slightly carried away. Anyway below is a list of the parts on it and some photo's of how it came standard to how it is now!

Body
Tinted Screen
Ducati Performance Race Seat
Carbon Fibre V-Guard/Oil Cooler Guard
Carbon Fibre Nose Lower Air Deflector
Carbon Fibre Gauge Housing
Carbon Fibre Airduct Covers
Carbon Fibre Mirrors
Carbon Fibre Brake/Clutch Reservoir Brackets
Carbon Fibre Key Guard
Carbon Fibre Battery Bracket
Carbon Fibre Horizontal/Vertical Engine Covers
Carbon Fibre Sprocket Cover
Carbon Fibre Undertank Panels
Carbon Fibre Vented Clutch Cover
Carbon Fibre Heel Guards
Carbon Fibre Exhaust Guard
Carbon Fibre Upper Chain Guard
Carbon Fibre Undertail Piece
"SBK 1198" Number Plate

Engine
Full 70mm Termignoni Carbon Exhaust (2010 Style) - Polish Ceramic Coated
Ducati Performance Air Filter
Ducati Performance ECU

Mechanical/Other
High and low beam HID Headlights (6000k)
White LED Park Lights
Ducati Corse Brake/Clutch Reservoir Covers
Shortie Clutch Lever
Shortie Brake Lever
Speed Cell Lightweight Battery
Ducati Performance Billet Clutch Slave Cylinder (Black)
Ducati Performance Pressure Plate (Black)
Polished SS Clutch Springs
Billet Sprocket Hub Cover (Black)
Billet Rear Wheel Nuts (Black)

I have a front Billet Wheel Nut (Black) to come but apart from that I am considering the Carbon Fibre Tail and possibly a dyno tune although it is far smoother than I thought it would be with the new ECU in it so unsure about that one but time will tell. Currently it should be running between 160-170rwhp which is very overkill for someone with my limited riding ability!

SO MUCH CARBON !

Looks good Jazza ! :D

[Jazza]

Well pretty much anything plastic or that could be replaced by carbon has been.. I seem to have some sort of fetish! It's great because it's rubbing off on Huy (and in-turn his NUR) badly I think hahahah :)

[Kaido]

nice! what tyres your running pliot?

Now you just need some BST carbon wheels :D

[Jazza]

They come with Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires and they are what will go back on whenever they get worn out!
I had a long look at the BST carbon wheels and after talking to a local experienced racer discovered they mess up the balance of the bike which is great standard but has been adjusted to suit my weight and to what I am comfortable with so decided against them.

[RS_Gav]

Figured seeing as I am pretty much finished with the modifications on the bike

LOL! Sif' we will let you finish modd'ing your bike!
Bout' time this thread came mate. Awesome bike Jazza. So much attention to detail. Sounded hard as nails the other day when you left here.

fair enough, who did you get to tune up the suspension on your bike?

[Jazza]

Thanks Gav, it'll be in ur shed when I move in :))))
My mechanic who races gave me an indication of what settings I'd like from what I explained n we adjusted it up to suit, was quick, easy n made the bike better for me to ride!

[thommo]

looks mint !

with all that carbon do u hav the carbon underbelly on order too ?

[Kaido]

Thanks Gav, it'll be in ur shed when I move in :))))

if your interested in something alittle more, jump onto psb and pm marty moose, guy is a pro and has setup many track bikes etc he did my cbr for me and only cost around $50 or something well worth the cash.

Its amazing how much different a bike can ride once it setup for you weight

[Fryman]

carbon fibre is the win!

[mischief1]

did it save any weight?

[Jazza]

Thought about it Thommo but I don't think the belly would suit the bike. I like the white!
Thanks for the info Mike.
For the plastic parts the CF replaced I wouldn't say heaps Dan :P

[Marti]

Ohh wow.my favourite bike.awsome

[Marti]

Ohh wow.my favourite bike.awsome

[cplagz]

Is naice!

[j3rk]

Rumor has it the carbon on this bike was paid for by the owner's modelling skills, whereby when his helmet is removed women just throw money at him and run off.

[Joe]

Needs more carbon :(

[mr_mike]

eeet has no redline, you sheeeft by feel!

I was riding with a guy a couple months back that had just put carbon fibre wheels on his k7 gixxer thou, he was raving about them saying its the biggest single improvement any mod to his bike has made. Reckons the bike suddenly felt light and super nimble thru corners, like mid corner he could just flick and change line easy.
He did also comment that at speed the front end would become a little bit floaty if u didnt have ur mind on the game.

[AGIT8D]

Looks menacing!! Did Metalcraft polish up those mufflers for you? I know he did a set for someone on here.

[Scaf]

Wow thats incredible! I love these bikes, and want one but know im to stupid so im staying away.

[mitchy]

that factory clutch cover is ugly...

white and carbon looks shit hot though, very nice!

[SimonR32]

So its got a cat back and rice mods?

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Needs more pics from the underside to showoff more carbon! :D

[Skitzo]

Nice bike.

I heard cosmetic mods were in excess of 20g.

[Riggs]

I just came.

[Ben Wha]

Way too much cash. I need to start modeling.

x10000 for Marty, orsm guy, explains everything he's doing and why, and for $50 the improvements are amazing. My trumpy is alot better to ride now.

[BOUZ]

well done jazza, that would have to be the longest "couple of weeks" waiting on pipes etc! how long did it take for the pipes etc to get to you?

[180SXTCY]

holly fucking bat shit! dude that is an awesome looking bike! with the power to weight also it must haul some serious arse!

:)

[Halle Terry]

Nice bike, owner is pretty cute too.

[Kaido]

So its got a cat back and rice mods?

race him :p lol

also would like to see more wheelie and stoppie pics

[Jazza]

eeet has no redline, you sheeeft by feel!
It still has a rev limiter at 10800rpm.. lol

Looks menacing!! Did Metalcraft polish up those mufflers for you? I know he did a set for someone on here.
Yeh dude he did, the rest of the exhaust was taken to CIC

So its got a cat back and rice mods?
Most ppl just do the end pipes, this has a full exhaust on it :)

Needs more pics from the underside to showoff more carbon! :D
Sort of waiting for you on that one.. I'll take a fairing off so you can see even more! hahahaaha

[siamak]

Wicked bike man. Any videos of it running/revving?

[Jazza]

Don't really have a decent video camera to do it with bud. It's a much deeper more aggressive note than standard now, very happy with it. I will try to get it sorted soon and post something up.

[Skitzo]

Apparently lays a strip when grabbing third whilst doing 80km/hr.

[Jazza]

Why the fark would I grab third at 80kms bro? hahahah :)

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Sort of waiting for you on that one.. I'll take a fairing off so you can see even more! hahahaaha

I think i actually have one... I'll has a look later when im home for it!

[AGIT8D]

Apparently lays a strip when grabbing third whilst doing 80km/hr.

Watched a mate do that on his 'busa heading back home on a coastal cruise haha. Leaned over the bars and clutched it, huge snakey, quite impressive.

[Skitzo]

Why the fark would I grab third at 80kms bro? hahahah :)

same reason when i change into second, i wait till revs are over 5000rpm before releasing clutch.

[JME]

FAK they look so hot hard parked....you and joe should do a photo shoot together!

[Kilma]

Very tidy Jazza.

When are you going to hit the track though and get rid of those chicken strips??

EPIC LOL!

needs more knee down :D

[Jazza]

I rode it to work today Jamie!! hahaha
If I go to the track I'll buy an R6, its alot cheaper if I drop it!!

[JME]

Pics of stoppie/mono/rollers don't seem to be loading :p

Coated pipes look bloody brilliant though!

[Susstt]

Bloody awesome! BST wheels would finish the look imo.

Need better pictures in this thread!

[Huy]

Looks the same as stock?

[Jazza]

Def decided to keep the forged standard rims, I'm happy with the balance of the bike plus standard wheels cost more than those BST's anyway haha.
LOL Huy, average lil man!!

[summoner]

nice tyre wear, do you ever take corners on that thing ? :p

[Stef]

bombed! always been a fan of dukes, but i always saw red or yellows. old next door neighbour had a yellow one, loud as! but this looks pretty mean in white!

[Jazza]

LOL the chicken strips are like 5mm wide and unlike Damon I don't like to drop a bike every month :P Done it once and that was enough for me! Really don't think Perths roads are worthy of pushing the limits either tbh..

[Susstt]

You'll get A LOT of riders saying otherwise, lol.

[Jazza]

If you or anyone else wanna go be a mad dog on Perths streets that's your call but I don't know many ppl who rate Perths roads or drivers that highly.. I rode the r6 I had before slightly harder than this due to the value of what's underneath me but I've never claimed to have a lot of skill or experience when it comes to riding I just enjoy it for what it is.
Can we just keep ontopic about the bike itself here rather than gettin carried away lol

[Jazza]

I've added a video of the bike on the first post at the bottom! :)

[JBAE]

when are you going to start putting carbon fibre on your bike ?

[duste]

^ ROR

Tough looking bike! Is it safe to assume with all the carbon fibre that business is going well? :P

Btw not sure if I missed it or not but what's the tare weight of it now with all the CF?

[summoner]

i'm just jelly :(

[adrenalin]

So so hot that bike !

Nice work mate

[manna_85]

Awesome bike mate.

[Jazza]

Not sure about the weight bud! Thanks ppl and lol Mark? :)

[summoner]

jelly.. jealous :p

[Jazza]

Haha thanks man, we'll have to head out soon!

You're not a real rider until you have dropped a bike at least twice. :p

It does tend to get expensive though. :(

[waxdass]

this bike is so much win. love your work.

[fourseven]

Epic bike. Shame about the owner :p

[Brockas]

+1

[Jazza]

LOL fuuuuuuuu :P

[Jazza]

Here's a couple of low res pics from the weekend!

Will get some hi-res ones of the bike hopefully soon :)

[jaybee]

the last photo in his res will be awesome!

[Jazza]

Yeh Josh is GREAT at sending me hi-res photo's.. we had this discussion tonight at dinner hahahah I'll post some whenever I get them :)

[Jazza]

[duste]

How incredibly fucking rude of the Fezza having his/her door open and blocking off some of your bike. kek :P

[Jazza]

LOL blame Josh, he was riding passenger, got out and left the door open to take the photo!

[1manwolfpack]

Holy Shit that thing is the sex!

[wormbo2]

this bike looks totally freakin awesome!
the styling on the headlights is pretty sweet imo

good choice on the White paint too, not a common sight.

A+

[Jazza]

Thanks guys, yeh I didn't see much point in getting a red one as everybody has them! The HIDs look great, it's a projector style headlight so you can't see the bulbs. Ducati styling on this bike is very sexual, I've just added to it hahaha

[adrenalin]

Saw red one in flesh on Sun guessing a perth street bike thing.

Red still looks impressive but white always looks clean

[TheChad]

so this was linked in a photo thread. just thinking outloud... this would likely be the fastest allround vehicle on antilag wouldnt it? given that these are like what? a mid 9 sec 1/4 mile bike straight out of the box, surely this is the fastest all round vehicle though, when comparing track speed vs strip speed vs street speed vs top speed?

[wormbo2]

Brockas, race him in GT-R.....DOOO EETT

[Jazza]

Duke did 10.02 off the top of my head on a stock bike. This video below is awesome, he gets the front wheel up a bit too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPNs3v4m7TA

I severely doubt even a good rider could match say Jones Evo round the track though.. Just not enough corner speed vs a properly set up track car.
Brockas doesn't bother racing me after he lost to the old R6 hahahaha

[Kilma]

I don't think this would be the quickest, considering there are a few lurkers who are in the 9s & below down the strip.

Bikes are definitely more fun IM (biased) O though.

Brockas didn't like runs with my old GSXR1000 either. :p

[[FFOUR]]

Any modern superbike will do low-mid 10's with a good (ballsy) rider, using that on the street though is another matter!

As said though, on track I'm not sure they'd keep up with some of the well setup track cars here.

I love bikes, but I'll still take an exotic car anyday...even if it is slower down the quarter.

[j3rk]

Calling it the quickest is definitely a big call, but it can certainly hold it's own against the faster cars of Antilag.
Roll-ons made me feel like I was in an excel, especially with comments like "I don't think I've ever had to use 100% throttle" pingpingping.

[pgc]

;846206']Any modern superbike will do low-mid 10's with a good (ballsy) rider, using that on the street though is another matter!

I wouldn't necessarily say ballsy, or good.

My old man is a fat lump, and he does consistent 10.5s on his ZX-14R.

[Jazza]

Firstly I really doubt many of the cars that run 9s on the track (usually using slicks etc) could run anywhere near 9s (let alone being legal) on the street where as I don't think there is much of a problem for a bike to use it's power on the street. It's mainly about keeping the front wheel down to keep the momentum up unlike a high powered car that will mainly just wheel spin. I think good riders can pull of the equivalent of a 10 sec 1/4 on a fairly flat dry street road no real problems. It's just knowing what you're doing and practice practice practice which I clearly don't do. Still ditto about the exotic car regardless of the 1/4 mile times Jan!

The only time I can wrap my hand around the throttle to pull 100% is into 3rd gear as I am not good enough to slip to clutch in 2nd when the wheel starts coming up and I don't usually bother as that extra 15% is usually not really required as you know Paul.

Oh and LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL "fat lump", that's gold!

[TheChad]

sorry i didnt mean to say the bike is automatically the fastest thing ever, i just ment over all if you compared track and strip and street and top speed of all of the vehicles on antilag this would likely be the fastest overall/average given its performance on all stages.

agree or disagree with what i said, but at the end of the day this is still probably the best looking road bike that is commercially produced today. needs go pro/contour footage...
