Ducati 959 Panigale - Crash Update #2

Bike rides great. Just waiting on a few more parts from Italy and she’ll be road worthy again.

I have a couple of Panigales. Get the “R&G Steering stops”, I believe that is what they are called. It will save you a headache and money brother man! Don’t bother replacing the lower triple tree. Not worth the money/hassle when it’s just the steering stop. They will just break again.

Ahhhhhh. I remember seeing these when before I started riding track and I didn’t know wtf they were for. Thanks for reminding me they make these. These seem like they are a much better solution than any fork mounted stop savers.

Looking good man! Might wanna double check torque every bolt you can find and re-mark them if need be just to make sure nothing came loose at all. Either way super happy you are both doing good and ride ready!

I got a spare tail light 😉

How tall are you? I’m looking into getting a 959 but I’m 5’4

@@bikesandbeats4693 are you able to flat foot the ground?

[@bikesandbeats4693]

@@iamjose11 Nope. Lol. I can get the balls of both feet but not flat foot. I have the comfort seat though which adds 1” to the seat height. But when I’m at stop lights I always just use 1 foot anyway. I usually put my left foot down and keep the right foot on the rear brake.

@@bikesandbeats4693 you’re bikes insanely clean, a true inspiration of getting a 959. My only concern is that I can touch the ground😂
