Hi There
I think a Triumph (3 cylinder) power comander is used.

Try the formum member Waggy who started this thread http://www.bimotaforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1755&highlight=sb8+power

And this one .... where GeeKay finally gets his done http://www.bimotaforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=633&highlight=sb8+power+commander

Then there's this one ... http://www.bimotaforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=734&highlight=sb8+power+commander the last post says to simply contact the makers of the power commander - these are for PC3 but as the pressent model is PC5 it might be a good idea

This one has some more info http://www.bimotaforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=595&highlight=sb8+power+commander

No but last year I have been 2 times in the factory to buy pieces for my sb8... Now I do not know if it is still possible, bimota has new owners...

I'm good friends with the engineer Naldi in year 2000 responsible for the preparation of the sb8 Gobert's superbike, he developed also the SB8 santamonica and bimota v2 trofeo

Hi Biturbo,

Have had a peek at my PC3, the sticker on it is 501-410 and underneath in smaller numbers it says 'For 501-411, 502-411' It appears to be a popular fit for triumphs.

Mine was fitted by a previous owner. Might be worth contacting,

They have fitted PC3''s to SB8r's and might be able to help.

I met the new owners. Danielle said she likes the old Bimotas

Now Ing. Naldi does't works in bimota anymore (now is involved in car racing) but he still have a complete superbike engine in his factory (and some gorgeus racing parts, dry clutch, yoshimura official sbk cams ....)
