2v SBK build thread

999RS uses removable / bolt-in frame members.  Allows a head to be removed easily without dropping the motor, etc.   That thing makes gobs and gobs and gobs and gobs of torque.

Bike is a complete roller now.  Problem I'm running into is making a decision on how to make it run.  I can't fit the hyper TB's without chopping the frame crossmember....which I'd rather avoid.  I'm not sure what to do about the ignition if I go with FCR's either.

I'm at a cross roads....it's time to either finish this thing or break it down and sell it piece by piece.  A lightweight 749R chassis sure seems like it would be a ton of fun...

finish it! It's been 2 years+. You can do it, be a man. haha.

Any new pictures of it with the engine in?

Chopped the cross member on my 748/916 frame.


And replaced it with a diagonal rod (black/grey under the intakes).


If you're really concerned about frame stiffness, you could weld another rod. As far as I can tell, there's no need.

nice.   i will save these pitchers to refer to later

I keep thinking that i'd like to see someone adapt the sbk TBs instead of cutting the frame for the 2v TBs

Almost all my photos are here: http://codeherrings.com/images/moto/ducati/speciale/ There's other stuff if you want to look around, just watch for the hidden pr0n folder...

If the injectors have the same specs it's doable (as far as I understand). If they don't, you would need to re-calculate a bunch of parameters and re-program the ECU accordingly. Cut & weld seems so much easier.

I couldn't find the hidden pr0n folder....it is labeled Regina De Cuori or something like that?

Well, there is no going back.  Before we left Moscow I dispatched a letter to.... oh crap. 

No seriously, the frame is cut now.  TB's are in.  I also made some decent progress.  Calipers are bolted up (radial brembos), rotors are bolted up (iron braketech).  Fender is on (forgot the 999 mounts before everything else goes on ...DOH!). 

I also got the rear brake master, rear sets, clip ons, and shifter worked out.  Gonna have to order one 90deg fitting for the brake lines to work at the front master, and also figure out WTF I'm supposed to do to route the rear brakeline for the underslung caliper....

All in all, I've made more progress on the bike today than in the past year.  I'm excited, and moving forward hopefully this week I can have a good idea of the wiring/routing and where I'm going to put the ECU, battery, blah blah.

zzzzzzipties.

Get a small LiFePO battery (Shorai, Ballistic,...). It'll make your life much easier!

On the 916 it's up from the master, between the fender and the shock (or in front of the shock if you don't have a fender), on top of the chain cover, then down to the caliper right before the sprocket.

No battery.  No Starter.  Get race starter.
