Oh yes the R will be at Cadwell

The Braking Waveys along with the front wheel and calipers are hopefully going to be changed at a later date, for the Narrow track race discs fitted to a narrow track wheel and topped off with the AP Billet Radials I bought new some time back all I need is the right adapter plates for the back of the Ohlins forks.

Standard 916/998 etc disc offset is 10mm
on the 748R and a few others its 15mm
and on the narrow track its the equivalent of 12.5mm
So the adapter plates for the standard Ohlins Ducati fitment is either to wide or to narrow. One option would be to go for the wider ones and shim the discs by 2.5mm.
But that can wait for now, yesterday evening the brakes felt fine and the AP master cyclinder has plenty of adjustment to get the right feel from them.

Hey Kev

I am going to go the same way with my road 996.
Will run the underseat catch tank but since it will go on the road I need to design a special bracket.

Please could you take a close up picture to give me some idea?
Any chance you start a small production run of those? Count me as customer.

Nice one Kev.
