Project 2v SBK 4/1/10 update

[Markus]

If you really want to know the + or - of this mod on the 2V. Call Mark at the Ducshop. He will give you real world, on the track no bullshit answer to your question.

Care to share Mark's findings? I'm curious (but not enough to waste the DucShop's time by calling him)

Just as a matter of interest, I have MBP's 966 big bore build in my fuel injected Monster. It puts out approximately 98RwHP / 70lb/ft torque with the stock 900ie cam. Unsightly stock airbox in place, with a full open top and a K&N airfilter. I'd considered doing a pod conversion but the motor works great as it is. I moved my attention onto fiddling with my ST instead.

Hmm...someone else in the industry mentioned I could use a 999 harness, some hyper TB's, and slap a nemisis or microtech ecu on the thing....Similar cost to the fcr's.

First thing is first, get the motor torn down, crank off to Ben Fox, and start making it look presentable.  Motor is here

FCR's probably have good resell value in case you take this bike apart down the road and want to sell off the pieces.  There is something cool about putting FCR's on a DS1000 too.  I guess because it isn't common.

you'll need the in airbox wiring harness from the 999 for the tps and injector connectors, as the 999 has a big screw lock connector in the loom, but apart from that everything will be the same loom and hardware wise.  all 2v throttle bodies are the same with some injector variation, so any will do.  injecting it is easy.  you could get an ecu reflashed to some sort of 1000/1100ds map to work in it.

So...
Get that R yet?

[TAftonomos]

As a matter of fact....    Just got back with it.  Once I get some food in me, I'll take some pics and post them up.

Then it's 5 bloody marys so the church of ducati will forgive my sins....before I rip it's heart out and sell it on the open market.  Muahahahahahaa

[1KDS]

I think they will forgive you when they see the finished product, if not...make the beast with two backs it, it's your bike

Makes me want to get a 999r to keep 

[1KDS]

Wow that thing is pretty nice, it's going to make for a f'n sweet project.  Keeping the red frame?  Using the 999 tank and seat?  What are you planning for the tail?

[TAftonomos]

Going to keep the tank/seat/tail/fender.  Need to come up with something else for the nose.  If I was good with fiberglass (I'm not), I'd make a smaller version of a 999 nose and mount a single projector in it.  Something 1/4 fairing ish, and maybe a belly pan.  Red frame, yup.  Maybe buy a glass upper fairing (nose and upper sides are one piece of the race-kit stuff) and find someone talanted to make the sides (or lack of) look good when I chop them off....

I'll be stripping this thing down this coming week, and most of the big bits are already pre-sold.  I want to weigh the frame, and then weigh the other 999 frame I've got...just to see if they are actually lighter (doubt it).

Nice, look forward to the updates.  You're going to have quite the stable...S4Rs, ST?, 2V SBK & KTM enduro.  I think you have all the bases covered nicely.
