Title: 'ryanracer' spec Ti tank bolts 696/1100 installed w/ pics Post by: 1313 on May 29, 2009, 03:38:14 PM I guess I was one of the first to jump on the Ti tank bolt kit he slapped together. It's a subtle but noticeable change if you're used to looking at your bike. The common folk won't be able to tell the difference anyway so this is more of a personal mod..
It's refreshing to my eyes. Besides the silver gas cap, it breaks up the dullness of the tank area.. In my opinion. Sorry about the craptastic pictures. My camera is pretty shitty. Stock.

I happens to have several stainless steel cap bolts of that size, so I put them on. I really like the contrast it gives to the tank. No it doesn't have the cool taper head, however. But not bad... I like:

Title: Re: 'ryanracer' spec Ti tank bolts 696/1100 installed w/ pics Post by: 1313 on May 30, 2009, 03:50:50 AM nice.. but the stock didnt look all that bad either IMO It's more personal taste than anything. Just something else on the list to do.. [thumbsup] I eventually will turn my bike into a "Dark" so this will add some contrast to the tank portion as in peanut_man's case.

Looks very clean and suttle! [thumbsup] Thats also one of my favorite ways of personalising my bikes but I prefare my Ti in a gold finish and yes its the kind of mod thats only noticed by fellow ducatisti [thumbsup] [coffee] |
