Hello you all!
What a welcome!!...thanx..on Assen they put me in the ''open A'' class,hope to meet some of you there!!
I''ve managed to put some pics in the foto gallery,i will drop some more of my bike there.
The first time i build the Testastretta in it, i lowered the crossmember to add some room for the throttle bodies and welded the coils on the side (just like a 998)
But the third one i did,i managed to let the crossmember to stay in place,and cut a few mm of the cross
member of the throttle bodies...(takes a few evenings) and let the coils on their places,just a few cm sideways,it fits just...
The biggest problem is to get the 998 parts,i mean the wiring harness and the throttle bodies etc,
you can take the 999 throttle bodies (plenty to get, and cheap) but then you MUST lower the crossmember,because the linkage is in its way,and you MUST use a 998/Monster ie....throttle position sensor an put it to the other side (throttle opens the other way, compared to a 998)
When there are questions let me hear! (i''ve done the job 4 times now)
How is my English by the way??
greetings from Holland
Carlos
