Multistrada Build Questions

[He Man]

So I'm looking to pick up a multi, but having no idea waht to do with my monster I was thinking about buying the multistrada as parts and swapping over my motor. My question is how feasable do you think this is?
Im mostly interested in a motor swap due to how fun the 1100EVO motor is AND how much i dropped on tuning it with the reflashed ECU.

Yes I understand that the motor needs to be cut at the swingarm mount in order to fit the multi swingarm.

having never taken apart a Multistrada, I'm not sure if there are any specific parts that make it difficult to source. Or should I just try and buy a complete multi 1100 and live with the DS1000 motor?

Can't answer any of your questions, BUT I do know there is a Multistrada project for sale in the Chicago area for something like $1500? I'm sure you could get it shipped to you for a good price. I'll try and find the link.

Edit: I'm not seeing it, appears to have sold.

The 1000 motor should not be that hard to live with.

[He Man]

There isn't much of a difference between the 1000ds and 1100 evo. After u tune the evo though... Wow!

I think I know which multinyour talking about. It was tossed on the track and has been partially torn down?

[ChrisK]

Not sure about the track. It was black with silver frame and wheels. Needed the oil line fitting on the motor welded or something.

Wrong one i guess, but i did get into contact with the guy over on ducati.ms

I wanted the frame, swingarm, wireharness and the stock exhaust. he was asking $600 for the whole lot. which is right about how much it would cost.

he apparently tossed all the fairings, which i feel will be the most expensive part of the build. it seems difficult to source those parts.

One of the regulars here built a great naked Multistrada.  I think it may have been TripleJ.  If I had a Multistrada with no fairing I think I'd think about finding or making a fairing for it similar to the classic bevel drive SS Ducati's of the 1970's.

Off topic - I haven't been paying enough attention around here lately,  did you finish school and you're now a civil engineer??

[He Man]

Making a fairing without some damaged ones is really too far along. im not that artistic. I can repair a set without issue though.

If fairings were cheap and easy to find, i would of bought a frame alreayd, but i cant seem to find them. I really want to get rid of my S2R1100 for a multi so i ended up posting the motor for sale. if i can get that sold then im going to just buy one. if not then im going to build one perhaps.... Im really looking to pick up a DR650!

yes, i finished school, i work as a civil engineer (structural engineering) and looking to finish my masters in geotechnical engineering...or structural, havent decided lol.
