Knowing my fairings are rare, and hard to replace, I to make a spare set on my own. My last Duc had been backed over in a parking lot, knocked off it's kickstand, tracked, etc...I wanted to make the 1198S Corse my own style. So first, I bought a spare fairing set off fleaBay, and a spare gas tank. After months of work, here she is.... This message has been edited.

I can understand when professional racers adorn their bikes with their sponsors emblems for advertising purposes but I would never add them to my street bike. I think you did a great job adding the stickers since it looks like a pro placed them but it's not my thing so I'd have to give a thumbs down. | |||

Awesome job my friend.I have ridden on and off road for 50 years but have never owned a Duc. As I recall, yu bought that at a screaming good deal and you have turned it in to a true Casey Stoner replica. Very well done. Be safe and enjoy the ride! “Our actions may be impeded...

That turned out great. You won’t see another Ducati like yours at a rally and I think that’s a good thing. I happen to LOVE race replicas, especially examples riders make on their own verses factory race replicas. Great work!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Rainman, you should post up the before and after pics. It’s quite the transformation your Ducati went through. Fantastic work! Those factory fairings were already easy on the eyes but I honestly prefer your race replica quite a bit more. When I get my Gixxer 1000 it’s going to get A similar MotoGP inspired (GSX-RR) race replica livery and a #42 on the front. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Looks good. But I do have to give you a hard time about having a Comfort Gel Seat on a race replica bike! And reflectors. ------------------------------------------------------ Though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria | |||

I did an R1 for a friend with the livery. Only thing he was lacking is the autograph! Freakin' Nice one Prefontaine! ___________________ "He who is without oil, shall throw the first rod" Compressions 9.5:1 | |||

Bodywork is OEM (2010). The only thing major I changed was the upper from the 2012 as I liked it much better so had to do a custom number plate up front. Love the motor. I do have to put a new rear caliper on it and order a custom SS line for it. I’ve been dreading doing it. My days of laying on the ground and modding, well tired of it! I needed a new rear bracket and Brembo won’t sell you the bracket by itself, have to order the whole package. Should be riding today rainman. But I have a rule, no riding on holiday weekends out in the twisties. Busy and drunks on the road. Taking care of the injured k9 all weekend. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I don’t know what’s going on with the current silver/blue GSX-RR based GSX-R1000 race replica. They were teased online at Tokyo then crickets. This Kevin Schwantz throw back would be something I might consider doing myself. Which gives me an excuse to post one of my favorite moto related vids.
