WSB style can for 749 / 999 - for sale
 

Hi,

This bike and can was on the Ducati stand at Ally Pally in Jan 2004 and the NEC Nov 2003. It is our development bike and we have done all the work to the bike.

We have developed a can for the 749 and 999 that replicates the look and sound of the Ducati factory World Super Bike. The can has no CAT, is about 2/3rd’s the weight of the standard can and increase airflow around the can and seat unit. Because the can has no restrictions it runs cooler than the standard can. Our can slips on to the standard pipes, will fit a Mono or BP and has recessed fasteners to allow you to fit the standard back light, plate mount and wiring loom / tube. The front pipe we supply will have no CAT and is supplied on an exchange basis for your standard front pipe.

The system will work with the standard ECU and will require NO MODIFICATIONS to your bike at all. For piece of mind you can get your local dealer to check and adjust the mixture, this should be no more than 45 mins labour and no parts will be required.

The price is less than half that of a £1,200 Termig system.

Be warned this is not a muted Termig sounding “race” can; it is the full on old style Ducati race bike sound.

We have a very limited production run and orders are being taken for delivery in late April.

Our development bike has full carbon fibre bodywork, larger capacity tank, additional frame rail, red frame / wheels. The attached photo shows the bike with the development titanium can which has no mounting for lights etc. The production can is in stainless and will mount all standard hardware.

If you are interested in the can or any of the modifications we have done please contact Mark at gundem1@chevrontexaco.com if you are local to Derbyshire you are welcome to come and see the bike / can.
:cool:

Forgot to add, if you check out the photo's carefully you will see a row of LED lights on the back of the sub frame, headlights in the front and I run with a 9" x 3" number plate mounted where the pipes go into the can. As for the slicks you can only tell they are slicks when your stationary, just don't stop next to a police car. This bike does go on the road and is not just a track day special.

2nd photo of 749 / 999 WSB style can.
 

This looks like a pretty good option for those wanting a WSB rep look for their track day bikes. Will the can accomodate the carbon shroud that covers the pipe on a 749R/999R or would you have to cut the back of the shroud off to show the exposed steel silencer as per WSB?

Also, is the larger tank an official Ducati part? It looks very similar (but not the same as) the 999 racers. Same for the chassis, with the removable spar. More info on these please!

I might be interested in just a can.I have already got an unresticted front pipe.

WSB style can for 749 / 999
 

The can is designed to fit without a heat shield. As there is no restriction in the can it runs much cooler than the standard can and does not need one. The can that I have for sale is a stainless item that can be supplied mirror polished or in a brush finish. This is not just a track day item, OK it's not street legal but most Dukes don't have street legal cans. This does sound like a 916 style bike with Termigs. So far I've not heard a 749 / 999 sound any good yet.

The Carbon tank is not a Ducati item, it is however styled on one. I had the tank made last year way before Ducati launched the 749R. When I say the whole bike is carbon I'm not exaggerating - full fairing with the mould taken from a Ducati Corse race bike, tank, seat unit, front mud guard, vee piece, heat shields, belt covers, clutch cover, sprocket cover etc etc. The bike will be run this year in carbon and may be painted next year.

The frame has the removable spars just like the WSB bike, for the road it's more show than actual use. Does look good though when anyone spots them.

This is the bike that Ducati borrowed for their stand at Ally Pally 2004. If you send me an e-mail I can send a few more photo's showing the bodywork and can in more detail.

so what's the final price? also, would you guys be willing to ship to the US?

(we don't have too many smog police here so it's "legal" as far as i'm concerned=)

I'm also interested to know if you'll ship only the can abroad (Sweden) as my father is looking for a can for his 749.

Who told you they were Corse fairings? They are not even remotely like Corse items.

Carbon Fairing
 

I saw the origional fairings that were used to create the molds. They were definite Ducati race items from an early 2003 race bike.

Not sure if the design has changed, or, if they were off a 999 WSB or other class of Ducati race bike. I do know that they are nothing like standard fairings and nothing like anything else that I have seen on the road.

so uhm...what is the final price on these cans?

These are race fairings.

Hey Mr Stephens , the bike in your pic still has a road bike style seat unit and Termi with carbon shroud.

The seat on the WSB bikes is quite different , the carbon shroud over the can is an integral part of the seat but left unpainted , the end of the can is also open with no carbon wrap around for the openings to poke through like the road bike :sing:, check out the official Ducati corse website and you will see photo's of "real" race bodywork...........

who the F cares whether or not it's real race body work or not....how much is the frikkin can.?!!?

with your dollar exchange rate you don't wanna know mate :lol:

WSB style can for the USA
 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying to you, we're flat out with production of the first batch of exhaust cans and the demand is a little overwhelming.

In theory there is no problem with despatching cans to the USA, we work closely with a firm that has made all my carbon fibre bodywork and they export to the USA all the time. We would more than likely put the sale through them as they can take credit card payments and arrange export shipping.

One issue may be the cat in the front pipe, we offer an exchange pipe with the cat removed but this is not feasible with export customers. However, we are currently running tests with the can fitted to a bike that still has the cat in the front pipe. Early indications are good and we believe that it may be possible to leave the header pipes standard and still fit our can without any detrimental effect to the bike.

If you are still interested please send me an e-mail and let me know what bike you have and I will send over some photo's and let you know what the cost will be to send the can to you.

Carbon Fairing
 

Mr Stevens,

Take another look at the second photo of my bike (from the side), the photo was taken without the belly pan on as there was no cutout for the side stand.

Then compare to the photo you put up, the fairing side panel is the same .... unless you can spot the differences ???

Sorry I obviously need new contact lenses! I amlooking for carbon race fairings, the glass ones don't protect the bike properly (water pump etc) when the bike goes down.

They are factory Ducati SS farings, Remember Ducati won the Italian SS championship last year and came 2nd in the World/Euro championship.
Fairings/ECU etc are all Corse parts.
The F03/F04 and 749R are not the only Ducati racebikes.
BTW the bike is a front runner in the Aust Pro Twin championships.

Someone looking for CF race fairings.

Carbon Fairings (and other bits)
 

What do you think to the attached carbon work ???

Still running standard can with back light under the seat unit. When the bike is run in I will fit my WSB style race can.

so how much is the can then?
