Title: Ladies and Gentlemen, my S2R at last
Post by: sleeperbold on June 03, 2008, 02:19:02 PM
So I've been a member of the forum for quite awhile, but have never posted pics of her.  When i introduced myself to this new board, I got a couple of requests so here she is. Nothing flashy, I don't have "anodized-carbon fiber-fully adjustable-custom made cup holders" or anything on her, but she is mine and she's awesome.

I live this thing. Best investment ever, Ohlins damper

Just a touch of bling :)

flip the damper around and i think it looks a lot better,,,, you can adjust it when riding also if you flip it...

They are these inexpensive mirrors I found on ebay. Just type in ducati monster mirrors, and they pop up, usually on a red bike.

Great lookin ride sleeper!  Tastefully done.

Painting the belt covers to match the black and removing the frame stickers would look awesome too!  Keep it up!

Thought about doing the belt covers, are they a pain to remove?

I had to post her, On memorial day my friends and I left DC (can't stand "Rolling Thunder") and rode for 11+ hours for over 450+ miles through 5 states.  Incredible, no problems, she ran like a dream. :-)

na-a-a... I like the purse snatcher look for the steering damper.

Good Job Sleeperbold.  Here's mine...

Yeah, I was wondering if it would get in my legs way, the other way. It does work like a charm though.

They are actually mountain bike mirrors. I had them on my monster for a while. Here's a link:

Yeah, that sounds about right. I think they were  called Third Eye or something, but they do work very well, no shaking. They do need the occasional tightening.  They're really inexpensive. $20 or so.
