Hi Neil,
Excellent answer. Many thanks.
I guess I'll start the long, slow search for one of the suggestions above. I'm not in a hurry and I'm not bothered about having to make modifications to fit the 998 x-section - I do quite a lot of GRP fabrication.
The EVR kit is very nice - Euros 800 isn't cheap, but we are talking Ducatis so I guess I should suck it up.
One thing, since the dawn of time, I have read that the carbon airboxes on various SP/SPS/R models made a large contribution to the stiffness of the chassis.
Is this a worthwhile consideration? I spend most of my time on the road with about 8 to 10 days spent on track per year. Middle of the fast group and happy to stay there, so I'm not trying to build a super-dooper track or race bike. Just looking to develop the bike and get more oomph as I go along.
Do the non-DP carbon airboxes offer the same structural function?
Obviously hacking into a 748R airbox to make it fit is going to wreck its structural strength.
