I was hoping we could start a trackday/race picture thread like the superbike picture thread. I am curious to see what some of your bikes look like in race track trim or street trim on a track. I am hoping to get some track bodywork for my 999 and I figured a thread like this could be good inspiration and eye candy for anyone interested in trackdays. Maybe if this thread takes off we could sticky it?
That's a racing (no side stand, no lights, closed belly pan) body kit I got via eBay from France. It's actually for the '03-'04 bikes but it was almost half the price of the '05-'06 bodykit and it fitted with no problems at all (just had to make new holes to the screen because the newer style had the holes differently, very easy to do). And the only difference are the front air ducts, 2 for the newer vs 4 for the earlier model (I like the earlier style better too )
As for the tail, I got it from Germany, it's identical to the DP part but almost half the price. All the parts are fiberglass.
My bodywork is Sebimoto I think. Sucks. I lost the left hand fairing during a race because it just broke where the bolts fit. But to be fair I have to say it was not new (as you can see ).
Go with Shark skins Body work. I have seen the rest but the best is SharkSkins.
A bit pricey but for a reason. They crash great, paint great and fit great!
great pics guys!!!, i dont have any digital pics of me on my old 996 when i raced that so here is a pic of me on my current race/track bike a 2001 h**a rs125. My 999 is street duty only for now.
Thanks Ben, I like that shot too . It might not be visible, but I was actually struggling for grip at the time , was testing my entry/exit line in those couple of corners and I was going on the "dirty" part of the track for a couple of laps :crazy:.

If I'm not wrong you got BrakeTech's rotors in the front, right ? What calipers+pads are you running ? The rotors are Iron or SS ? How do you like the setup you have ? (I have recently installed the BrakeTech Iron rotors and used the XRAC pads in the endurance race. Will test the CP211's soon).

Yes, Braketech Axis full floating ductile iron rotors up front and Ferodo Brake pads.
I believe the front Calipers are the stock ones that came on the 03 999.
Been tracking the 999 so much that I have been spoiled with the braking.
I took the 02 998S Bayliss out and in comparison it just doesn't hold a candle to the 999's set up.
Thanks for the kind words on the pics. First season tracking for me and I've really been working on my BP. Trying to get more lean and not so much of my ass off the seat
This was with my 998R (street bike#132/700) she´s like new with only about 4000kilometers, with very few mods and i don´t want to take her out again for the track... I only ride it 2Trackdays... and then i changed back to the original carbon farings!
This fiber farings where inspired in one of the bikes from MOTOCORSE
Some pictures i have of a couple of Trackdays...
Some months ago i have found another 998R(#516/700), and now i´m building this one only for track... i didn´t tried it yet, i´m finishing the engine with high comp pistons from Pistal Racing... this one have more work in mods!

I am prepping a 2002 Ducati 998 Monoposto for track only. At the moment I am building a harness and I’m looking for some advice about a quick shifter. I’m seeing HM, Power Commander, etc. What I see is a lot of applications for the 749/999 and later models, not so much on the 998. I am also...
Should be a simple one folks, just never been 100% sure with working on brakes.
The issue is spongy front brakes. If I bleed at the master, I get good, solid brakes. This only lasts one to two weeks before they start going spongy again. All fittings are tight and there is no obvious fluid leaks...
I went to take the Duk out last evening after a business trip, but before taking it of the garage, I noticed that when I actuated the front brake, the tail light was no longer lighting. Actuate the rear brake, and the light comes on fine. I looked where the micro switch lives on the front...
I'm finding myself strangely attracted to a low mileage (<3000) 2010 1198s. The asking price is 9k, but it needs tires and a belt replacement. It seems to be stock.
I've never owned a Ducati superbike, but this bike is exerting a strange pull on me. If you want to tell me that it's likely to...
