Matty's mods have commenced

[mattyvas]

Thanks everybody's, they've had their first ride so time to go out and wash and wipe them with
a soft clean cloth!

[Dannog]

Hope you enjoy doing that!

I didn't give them a wipe with tar & bug remover when I washed it this week!
Really I didn't!

NICE WHEELS!!!!
is that a Ducati gold or some custom colour

[mattyvas]

The gold is something I saw on a friends Multi and said I'll have that thanks very much.
It's somewhere between the bronze-gold Ducati is doing right now and Ohlins gold forks.

As for what I'm doing next the list is long, I just can't decide what to do.

Clip ons
rear sets
fluid tanks
triple clamps

just to name a few, there are a few other sneaky things I'm thinking about also.

[Serious Groper]

I saw an M1100 with clip-ons but the riding position seems to much of a wrist/back breaker. Although it does look very cool!

How do you find ridingin the rain/dirt with the tail chop? Do you get crap flung up your back or is it ok? For example would riding on a day like today be an issue?

[Dannog]

fluid tanks ?

Matty, are you referring to brake / clutch reservoirs or have you found some way to get more fuel in the best!!! I ran out of fuel AGAIN on Tuesday night be it only 500m from home and a petrol station.

Dannog don't you have an annoying orange light on your dash when you need to get fuel?  I have the annoying light and my temp readout flashes FUEL. Kinda feel like I'm being nagged so I get rid of the signs as soon as humanly possible.  But I do get 260km out of a tank on a good day.  Sorry had to mention that. 

[mattyvas]

SG, the clip-ons I am looking at have either 2.5" or 3.5" rise so it would be as much of a killer as having them without
any rise, I am looking for slightly more forward angle and opening up the dash area.
As to riding on a day like this, I just don't. My bike is not really used as work transport.
The times I did get caught in the rain on the old 620 it was never a problem, you get wet anyways so if you get a bit of
fling up your back (never did myself) oh well.

Dannog yes Rizoma fluid tanks is what I am talking about. And as Heather says you do have a little orange light which on an S4Rs is something to be obeyed more than on a 2V

[Dannog]

Yeh Yeh I know but the blooddy thing comes on every second day. Something about ignoring it doesn't work!

It's just a real pisser that I have to call in to filler up every 110 Km I'm thinking of setting up a filling point at home so that I can top-up before leaving for work

110kms - bummer.   You have my empathy Dannog.  If you ride evey day sounds like the filling station at home idea may be a good one although pushing the bike to the servo once week could double as a gym session I guess.     

[Dannog]

SWMBO would go for the gym idea. Always complains that I don't get there enough.
