Title: Frame plugs installed Post by: DexterMorgan on July 18, 2013, 12:55:35 PM The open holes in the frame have bugged me. Small mod but big improvement IMO.

I hear ya, they are so small, you have to bend over to be able to read what they say lol. Title: Re: Frame plugs installed Post by: danaid on July 18, 2013, 09:47:54 PM sorry to be negative, those are one of the many add on I would like to do. Just seems too my eyes that some manufactures are putting lot of larger branding all over there cool stuff. i'm looking to finally open my dry clutch and have been put by some stuff,

Now you can consider replacing the frame and seat cowl screws. Title: Re: Frame plugs installed Post by: DexterMorgan on July 19, 2013, 06:35:54 AM Another matter of personal preference.

Title: Re: Frame plugs installed Post by: oldndumb on July 19, 2013, 02:52:44 PM I'm partial to DucaBike and made them using their plugs. For the seat cowl look for a thread labeled "Seat Cowl Fastener Bling" dated April 4 in this forum. The frame plug is much more complicated. I used a plug sized for the Diavel and expended several hours on a mill and lathe. The stock bolt is modified and the Duca plug was then modified to be a cover. Net effect is the same appearance as a plug.
