848 DRY slipper

i wonder, simply for the sake of argument, if this conversion makes the bike compatible with all the ducati dry clutches?

could you just slap in a standard clutch pack after your slipper wore out, if you were so inclined?

Yes all dry clutch slippers will work. The kit includes the Ducati Performance slipper which is made by Bucci and is the same design as many out there like STM and Yoyodyne. It has ball bearings on ramps.

Call me crazy, but I'd take and 848 over a 1098 any day - even if it was more expensive. I simply cannot use the power of a 1098 so that extra motor is lost on me. I can use a fair amount of the 848s power on the track therefore that bike is much more fun for me.

Personally I like the wet clutch better too!

+1.  I love what the 1098 (and now 1198) represents, but the fact is it's too much power for 9 out of 10 riders.  Just Bragging rights.  I'd be more likely to wad it up!

The main reason to get a dry clutch: I can stop carrying around this damn tambourine!

THAT was really clever!

I like my 848 as it is. I picked up a matching white seat cowl for $100 used on some dudes wadded 848... and I am happy. She is faster than I can go. No need to dry clutch it for me.
