How to Install the manual fan switch - by Vinnie
16th Mod: RAM Mount for my phone
Bore hole in steering stem nut, I used 8mm socket head bolt to bolt the ram mount through the steering stem nut to a washer and lock nut. The hollow triple will let you get a socket with extension on the lock nut. For my 998s FE, I tacked a nut to a washer that I drilled out to match the steering stem nut so that it can be held in place while torque applied to the socket bolt. Works like a champ!!!
Power is tied in via USB power converter tapped to switched 5A available circuit at fuse panel.
17th Mod: Second Cooling Fan Install - Right Side
Located on right side of radiator, power is controlled by the covered fan switch (Mod 13) and fed through new switched power busbar, 30A relay feeds ignition switched power.
18th Mod: Tapered Bearings Steering Head All Balls Tapered Bearings installed. As noted By LT of Desmo Times, the seals included in the All Balls kit if not installed according to his instructions, will fail. The reason is that the seals are not designed specifically for this Ducati application and the rubber portion extends inward on radius to interfere with spacer which has an exterior diameter of 48mm. While the inner portion of the rubber on the seal is 46mm in diameter and causes the rubber seal to tear when the steering head is rotated. See the photos below with measurements. My preference was to install the bearings with fresh Ducati OEM seals and spacers. The originals get damaged when removing the lower race from the steering stem.
-- All Balls kit
Once the stem is removed, use a cold chisel to slowly free the inner race from the steering stem. You will note the black rubber seal and metal does get bent, sacrifice...

Seals included in the All Balls Kit (LT of Desmo Times recommends installing the lower one upside down) I recommend not using the included seals but instead buying Ducati OEM seals and using those. Note the differences in measurements below:
