I can't sleep so I figured I'd post up some pics of the mods I've done semi-recently
mods:
Adjustable rear right height linkage from another Ducati ($15 gotta love ebay!)
14T Vortex front sprocket
Changed to reverse shift (flipped the linkage, no fancy direct mount lever here lol)
Fender eliminator (not sure of brand but it was free!)
Welded on swingarm spool adapters (thanks to Melillimoto in Ocala, FL for the welding!)
Painted the rear shock spring red (turned out awesome!)
Aftermarket oil drain plug (stronger magnet, hex head, safety wire holes)
Termi High Mounts, DP ECU, open airbox
RAM GPS mount for my TomTom with a new wiring job. For starters I used a battery tender connector for the "GPS Harness" I made, so that it can plug into the battery tender connector already on the bike. That keeps the wiring low key and allows fewer wires to have to be run back to the battery. The + wire goes to the GPS car adapter's circuit board inside a very small weatherproof "project box" similar to the ones found at radio shack. The (-) from the battery tender connector runs through a pressure switch on the RAM mount that is activated only when the GPS is installed in the cradle, then runs back to the project box. The project box is mounted on the front of the airbox (can't be seen unless your REALLY looking for it) so the charge cable for the GPS only had to be about 6" long. I have one of the little rubber wiring strap on the from on the right side so the connector can be held out of the way when not in use. This contraption has several benefits, the switch on the cradle ensures the adapter is only powered when the GPS is actually being used. The entire "harness" can be removed in a matter of seconds with no trace it ever existed. Honestly I don't use my GPS at all while in Florida and only use it back home when doing group rides but I was bored a few weeks ago and this is the result lol.
Just did the 2-year service including shimming the swingarm properly (it was way off) adjusting the trim, thicker fork oil w/preload spacers, and a few other misc items. During this process I discovered bad valve guides just in time to have it replaced under warranty so Melillimoto in Ocala, FL took care of that (I can't recommend Melillimoto enough, a true model of what service should be)
