Don't think that's where you'd want the bend to be though, for performance

well I guess what I meant was use the TB but change the intake plenum below that. a little CNC work to get the TB and intake ports to line up with custom plenums that take care of the difference.

What you're proposing there is about 10X more difficult than modifying the frame.

amen.


I'm interested in getting a SBK airbox molded/combined to a motard/sc style 'bottom' of an airbox so the big volume / ram-air features are available.  That's my long term plan. Short term is to cut the hell out of one and use v-stacks and pod filters.

Just got my IMA srl triple clamps in the mail today  ;D





I had thought about drilling the stock top triple to bolt on a handlebar mount, but I wasn't comfortalbe with the idea. So after a bit of selling and saving and a couple dozen emails with the guys at IMA, I got me some italian pr0n. [evil]

Have I showed you the MOD4 top triple (no bar riser holes) adapted for use on my Monster 900?


Separately, I just got in another 53mm IMA lower so I can reuse the original 53mm IMA upper that was on my bike with the fixer-upper Monster 900. Coolest part is I got their new risers for the bar clamps (the 20mm riser/spacer option for my MOD1 upper and 22mm handlebar). They look great, identical corner shapes as the bar clamps, and same gorgeous black anodizing.

Also got the necessary 53mm fork damper clamp from IMA - it's trick! I got this one with an insert reducing bolt to M6 style so I can use DP or Ducabike billet sbk damper bracket - a bit of bling in blue to surprise the wife who picked / dared-me-to-use a blue Rizoma handlebar.

Been there. Done that.


My approach is to use a set of 749 cases w 1000/1100 2v stuff

That's what Taft did with his bike. I don't know why I thought this would not be an issue with the older 916-era SBK frames...  ???

So far I've figured I have 3 options:
- cut & weld the current frame (fast but is it safe?)
- get a 999/749 frame (more $$)
- get SBK engine cases and migrate the whole shit (FML)
And I'm going to try them in this order.

The guy I contacted to do the exhaust (Bruce in Falls Church, VA) has done work on motocross bikes so he might be able to fix up the 996 frame for me.

If that doesn't work then I either get a 749/999 frame or migrate the internals.... New frame would mean getting a new gas tank, sub frame and if I can't fit the 996 swingarm, new wheels (bye bye marchesini mags).

Swapping the internals is a sh!t load of work but may be cheaper (at least in the short run...)

Cut and weld....

I grabbed the crankcases from a SBK for this to do the internals swap. I figured I wanted to balance the crank anyhow.   And the 749/999/996/998 cases use the same cylinder stud spacing as the 1000/1100DS. The 916 era use the same stud spacing as the 900.   But the 749-999 cases fit right up into the 916-996-998/748 frame.

JV have you got the bottom end assembled yet?  I have a 749 engine that I have been thinking about putting a 1100 crank & cylinders on.  Is there any clearance work needed for the longer stroke or do all the testastretta cases fit the long stroke crank?
