I've always thought the short cans look great with the low pipe setup!

let it sit out in the sun (go for a ride!) and the adhesive will soften enough that you can pry it away from the fork tube.
screwdriver would work, but I'd use something softer than the fork, so as to not scratch anything. then use WD-40, goo gone, etc. to get rid of the little stickies that remain

something softer than the forks but not a screwdriver...I guess I can try to tickle 'em off...  I guess it'll have to wait then since the bike is outta comission until i get the new handlebar  |

I think I used a plastic knife. or one of those plastic paint scrapey things.
just roll your bike out the garage, or use a hair dryer or something. it's real easy

Went to the garage and removed reflectors with just my bare hands (I guess sitting in a hot garage will soften glue)...I can feel my coolnes growing...or maybe its just gas?...

Hey I have a question what's the purpose of wrapping the exhaust/headers? I like the look of it but have no idea what it actually does....

you have earned +2 coolness
the heat wrap insulates the piping... it can keep you from melty boots if the pipes run by your feet.
otherwise, I just know it's a 'racy' kind of thing. not sure what performance bennie it supposedly has. but it does look the biz!

cool then at least I'll get the bike to look fast...Does anybody know where I can get the exhaust wrap (I called South Seas and they said they have to order it) is there any other bike shop that carries it or am I going to have to order it? Also thinking of putting this on instead of the usual front fairing....  opinions? |

Exhaust pipe wrap is at Ron's Racing Parts. In Stock item. 2 sizes along with the Black silicon spray paint. No need to order anything. Just go down to the Iwilei store. Open 7 days a week. ------ Fairing? What year is your bike? I 'm working on a carbon nose fairing for the '99 or older Monsters. This thing is genuine Ducati Performance original equip with all hardware. I'm getting all the clear coat done slowly, I repeat, very extreemely slowly, done but it will look absolute tits when finished and it will be up for sale. Brand new. Never installed. It won't be cheap but it will be uber cool.

You will need to remove the exhaust to wrap properly and do a good job so it won't look like crap so keep that in mind. Also, you wrap from the rear toward the head. Lessons learned the hard way.
