So,whats the favourite mods on these 888's then?I remember drilling the airbox and lifting the tank 10mm on my SP4.Does that still work?what else have you all done.(apart from brakes,'cos that goes without saying!!)

Thought I'd jump in first with:

50mm SP4 system , FIM chip, DP airbox lid, radial m/cyl, cast f/floaters, braided lines, 748R slipper clutch, Ohlins rear shock, lightened flywheel, STM adjustable pulleys, 916 crank + single seat.

Only problem is that all that lot is shared across my track and road bikes - mainly on the former !!

Welcome to the 888/851 club!

My 888 came with loads of extras fitted, suppose it makes up for the fact it still doesn't run properly at least it looks nice! lol

Marchesini wheels
Carbon front mudguard and hugger and clutch cover (which are being replaced are they've had it)
Spondon c/iron floating discs
Samco braided hoses F&R
SP5 rear brake with carbon torque rod
Low level carbon Termi's (these need re-sleeving and packing)
Rearsets (don't know where they came from)
FIM chip

I've just bought a beautiful carbon front mudguard to replace the old one which is looking tired now. It was hand made by a guy who is a fabricator for Jordans F1 so it's a one off! It's beautiful and makes all the other bits of carbon look sh** now!

Still got to get the forks rebuilt with Ohlins internals and an Ohlins rear shock and a single seat unit.

Then a new colour scheme some time this year.
