Hi fellow duc lovers , i purchased an SP2 in good condition 22.000 Km on the clock a few months ago, the bike has been sitting for years and rubber hoses ect.. have gone brittle.
I did not have the time to start work on the bike yet but now that winther is here i will find the time. since i bought the bike i stumbled on a 926 motor with double injectors and a one pice carbon airbox as well as some Øhlins FG 9051 forks and a set of Marchesini 3 spoke mag wheels, all in my workshop now :-)
The SP2 is almost standard and looking good ! my intention is to use it for very spirited road riding but mostly track days.

Should i build a tool for the job out of my SP2 and the above parts or find a strada to upgrad on and leave the SP2 as ornament in the livingroom, i am worried that i will ruin the value and collectability of the SP2 if i start building.

What is the oppinion of the forum, leave the SP2 standard or build it ?

Plan is to further increase the race potential by adding some Oronero100 parts such as the corse style ramair and expansion tank and fuel tank.

I am no wizard with engines but would appreciate som info on the 926 motor configuration, what power output should i expect, how will reliability be in this trim:

31/37 valves
Domed hi comp pistons
926CC
Pankel rods
race cams (not sure what type, but i have newer seen so much lift on a valve before)
mag engine cover
light and balanced crank
Alu clutch
light flywheel
(engine casings are the later 1995 stronger version with now engine number)

This is not my only duc i have a F1, 900SS, and 996 as well but the 851 is to me as good as it gets.

This being my first post i would like to thank all of you for this wonderfull forum i have been reading the archives for months and have both learned from and enjoyed the process, finally got the courage to expose myself to the pack.
