Title: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: duc duc on January 16, 2009, 11:43:05 AM I had already cored and shortened my stock cans but did not really like the look of the tips.
I found some FMF tips the right size and added them. What do you think? (http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo141/ducsoup111/Ducati-12-08070.jpg) Title: Re: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: flanman on January 16, 2009, 11:53:13 AM [thumbsup] I like!

Did you consider painting - red, black, gold? Not sure, just thinking. Can you tell/show more about your tank pad and fairing 8) Title: Re: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: Mojo S2R on January 16, 2009, 12:42:28 PM Nicely done. She's one gorgeous Italian. Just my style too. Did you have your brakes and shockspring painted/powdercoated? I really like the way she looks. [bow_down]
Title: Re: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: duc duc on January 16, 2009, 12:45:04 PM I am still thinking but I will probably get mufflers and tips ceramic coated.
The tank pad is from Shift tech and just mounts with double side tape. Here is a picture that shows the headlight. I fabbed my own mounts out of sheet aluminum.

I was thinking about the same thing on the tip (painting red, or...?) but I think it's good the way it is, might be "too much" Only other suggestion/possibility would be to maybe paint clutch cover black, with "ducati" in red letters? She looks great just the way she is. [thumbsup] [clap] Title: Re: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: duc duc on January 16, 2009, 12:48:08 PM Here is a closeup of the headlight

I got it from the local O Reiley auto parts. Just mask off what you don't want painted and brush it on. The rear shock spring was a pain to remove though. I finally had to borrow a shock spring compressor from a local dealer to get it off.

nice job [thumbsup] ...and since everybody is throwing suggestions at you I'd swap out the amber turn signal lenses for some smoke ones from clear alternatives. that way they wont say 'HEY! Im the turn signals!' 8) Title: Re: Tried something new with my exhaust Post by: Spike on January 16, 2009, 03:56:11 PM Looks good. [thumbsup]
