The 998R is the best bike by far.The only thing to watch out for are the brakes.The initial bite you get from the brakes can be very strong and i worried that in a panic situation it would just lock the front up.
Apart from that there is nothing else wrong with it.

Because i have had other Ducati's i had bought various bits and pieces over the years and when i have moved on i have kept the parts and fitted them to the new bikes.
Mostly the usual bits,carbon airtubes,slipper clutch,carbon headlight support.
I have also changed all the nuts and bolts for Titanium.And i do mean ALL.
Ohlins forks with A.P.lockheed calipers and discs.Less initial bite but more feel and a lot more progressive.Also changed the brake and clutch master cylinders for radial ones.

Have fitted a lightweight flywheel to the engine as well. Fitted the slipper clutch at the same time.Lets the engine spin up quicker and also gives more engine braking.

Also fitted the race magnesium swingarm to try and stop the thing wheelying all over the place.It didn't work.
Would not recommend doing this unless you were going to use the thing on the race track all the time.I had to change the rear spring to cope with the longer swingam but the spring is absolutely solid.Bit too bumpy for my liking.Brilliant on the track though.

I am sure there are a lot more mods but these are the main ones.

I have to go and do some work now.
Good luck with the bike and if you want to ask me any more please feel free.

You mean like these sps955, fitted to the one and only 996R.
Sorry to hyjack your thread TP:P
