OK now I have your attention I just got my velocity stacks and filters from MotoWheels. I tried to fit the filters to the stacks but they are as tight as. Anyone able to offer any sensible advise? I'd hate to stuff it up (pun intended).
cheers
When I did jukies it was a bit tight on so just sprayed some lube and on they went. maybe a gentle stretching of the rim first might help too

Is that different to what monsterdorf has?
I think he has the velocity stacks and is fitting the filter's to them?
I could be wrong.
I just modded the air box to get the TPO ones on mine. Real simple. Same DP filter and lid.
Maybe sorry I may of read it wrong
Yes same filters but had to get the ram tubes (aka velocity stacks) into the filter first. They are huge, akin to a monkey fist. So I patiently worked the rim gave it a good lube and squeezed them in. Once you get the rim stretched enough they pop in like a finger in a bun. Mounted the front coil to the new bracket and viola.
Tomorrow I'll fit the Ducati race ECU, set the TPS and CO. Can't wait to take her up Glorious for a test run :)
Pity there are no other Monsters in Brisbane!
Hi, I've also got some stacks and filters to go on and was just wondering where you got your ECU from.
Cheers
Got it from Huston Superbikes here is a link:

Got the VDST from California Cycle Works and ram tubes from Moto Wheels.
I'm in Brisbane.
Yeh, but are you available to go for a ride?
In the last 5 years I've tried to get to rides organized but only had two successes pretty much given up and just head out on my own or with my son & neighbours.
yeah you bloody snob!
when was the last time i got a call huh?
make the beast with two backs me, i've built a super duke from the ground up and bought a bayliss replica since i last saw you!

Only slightly. Your photos have the velocity stacks already on the filters (so you can't see them) - I think this is the part Mick was struggling with.

The stacks may be different ... but stacks to filters was the easy part for Jukie.

The 4v setup is different to the 2v.
Perhaps you guys could post piccies of your setups as well for people to see the differences.

Of course. Please excuse my ignorance. I thought the filters went straight on to those flexible inlet tubes. That would be too easy, making a model specific all in one pod filter.
OK Ducati race ECU fitted & TPS reset. Idle mixture is 12.4:1 which is right in the sweet spot at 0 trim. Went for a quick 100Km test ride and she is smooth as with no flat spots or "popping" on deceleration. Power seems improved but haven't really had a chance to open her all the way. Next track day should give me a good indication as until now the Duc and my sons SV have been on par (PTW is the issue there...........meaning I'm fatter than he is!) hopefully now I can pass him on the straight and then be "wide" at turn 1 to keep him at bay :)
I guess he could always wheel out his Daytona to whoop me, but so far, he's too scared to drop that.
Will advise on how it goes after a few more K's particularly fuel consumption (4.7L/100Km now).
Cheers
