Title: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: svoloch on October 09, 2012, 04:30:43 PM (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8437/8002863852_c49876ccd8.jpg)
So here's the problem, she doesn't feel like she's mine. Maybe I was spoiled by the awesomeness of the sh1t hot black triple 9 xerox, but I'm left with a feeling that the awesome bike I'm now riding is somehow ordinary. I need suggestions to tart her up a bit, to add my own stamp to her legacy, but I've no real idea where to start. The undeserving bastard that had her before me ( don't actually know him, just assuming ), has already added the ducati equivalent of a catholic school girl uniform to her: red billet aluminium sprocket cover, rizoma grips, f*cking carbon everywhere, including around the damn radiator and both mudguard and front fender. I have the clutch cover to play with, but I don't think that will be enough. Any ideas? Maybe paint up a corse tank? Hook a brother up....

Black clutch cover, black tank and front and rear bodywork. Or carbon versions. You're dead right about the clutch cover, it looks out of place. You could paint satin black.

I asked AMS do this to my 36,000 mile silver-ish 999 wheels the last time they replaced my tires. Changed the look entirely and was "relatively" cheap; $160 per rim. Can't think of much that Rizoma or DP make for $320 that'll give you as much bang for the buck....

ok, already have the grips on, but love the mirror and reservoir... Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: svoloch on October 10, 2012, 01:50:27 AM Dax, I'll record it. You can't touch it with that sound... I don't like the slash cut either...

Rizoma small heel guard to replace the LARGE stock heat guard Larger air intake, painted Partially open belt covers (cutting carbon is easy to do) Mirrors of course TechSpec tank pads Round head light Red stripe or two on the front fender Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: svoloch on October 10, 2012, 05:34:48 AM Paint & hide the belly pan.

I'm down with the others. My tools don't get here for awhile, where is your garage, and what kind of beer is in your fridge? I need to go to the Rizoma store. Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: svoloch on October 10, 2012, 05:47:43 AM oh, and where's the local Rizoma outlet mall?

Don't have a garage, but if you bring your bike here I WILL find one AND I will buy the beer [thumbsup] Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: muskrat on October 10, 2012, 07:25:59 AM I mean as in a GP style exhaust. clean up that rear wheel, I hate how Ducati covers it up.
I agree with dropping the belly pan it makes it look like a real street fighter without. Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: TresGatos on October 12, 2012, 05:43:18 AM Get a Honda stock ;D

Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: Hershell on October 12, 2012, 08:18:57 AM I love the Streetfighter S.. I looks much better in person IMO.
If it were me I would carbon it out from head to toewhile adding rearsets, bars, wheels, steering damper, turn signals, fluid reservoirs, levers. Good luck with and have fun. Congrats on the new ride. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: svoloch on October 13, 2012, 04:41:13 PM I love the Streetfighter S..

Good luck with and have fun. Congrats on the new ride. [thumbsup] It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's already carboned head to toe. The S model that I have came with steering damper, and the former owner shortened the turn signals and tail chopped. Thanks for the congrats! At this point, I think I'm looking at reservoirs, mirrors, and brake/clutch lever, plus the requisite clutch plate/cover ( not sure why the former owner didn't do that? Maybe he wasn't a dry clutch lover.. ). Beyond that, I'm thinking of paint or decals.... Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: TresGatos on October 13, 2012, 04:52:11 PM Get a Schwin. ;DilYes I'm pissed cause I want one [evil] What a bike!
Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: Hershell on October 13, 2012, 05:39:59 PM cool.. yeh its hard to tell in that photo. More photo is always welcome ;D Did they paint over the carbon? Tank, tail, etc..
Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: IZ on October 13, 2012, 07:00:36 PM I am in the market for a Streetfighter also. I've had an 03 620 and a '10 1100. The neW EVO looks like shit IMO with that double pipe. The aftermarket pipes don't do anything for it. I've been doing a lot of searches on the SF and mods. Your bike looks nice but My first suggestion is get rid if those cookie cutter Termi pipes and do something original!! You asked where Rizoma was. We have one here in Austin. It's down street from Austin Duc shop. I'll post up a few of my favorites. When I can get to a computer.

PS those grips aren't manly enough for you, did your wife pick them out? [laugh] If you ever come back to the great state of Texas first several beers at the Dubliner are on me!

Xander or Milo? either way, yes, we slipped through quarantine with xanax tranq darts keeping the boys "calm" Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: fastwin on October 14, 2012, 01:12:42 PM Jeez you have two kiddos and two dogs? And they still let you into Aussieland? [laugh]
I remember the boys. Goodness... haven't seen them since the race watch party at Motopia. Summer 2008? They probably are driving and voting by now! Time flies by whether you are having fun or not. ;D They still have their aresnal of toy rifles? Only knew of one dog. The escape artist. When I dropped off your 40th b-day present your wifely unit was vacuuming and the dog made good it's escape out the front door when she opened it. Pup grabbed 6th gear and was on the rev limiter instantly. I finally caught up with it near Dodies and Greenville Ave! Dog was faster than our 999s! [laugh] Hope you found a good spot for your Stoner poster. ;) [popcorn] [bacon] It's in it's homeland now. ;D Title: Re: Need ideas to tart up the svoloch's new streetfighter Post by: Duc L'Smart on October 15, 2012, 05:38:53 AM I found the perfect accessory to tart up your bike...
