Hello,
As many of you know from my earlier posts...I am new to Ducati's...but loving this M900!!

But, I do need a new shifter.  I ride a lot  around the neighborhood on errands...I am usually in white sneakers..the stock shifter is soiling them up!! Ugh..Blackness

So I want to replace the shifter with a non-black rubber one

please give me some options!!?

Thanks very much & ALOHA

First, don't ride around in sneakers.  It's really unwise.

Second, you can buy a shift lever cover.  About 8 bikes ago, I had a neoprene/rubber one on my shift lever.

The solution is to wear flip-flops.

but seriously wear boots. Shoes fly off. It's not something you want to happen at a highway speed wreak.

or dangly laces getting caught in stuff on the left side of your bike...

I mean, hey, it's entirely up to you...  it's just the crowd here is generally a bit more gear conscious.


yes, I know how hot it gets riding around on oahu

Yes it is.  Dude, come on over to Desmotropic and join the party.

I made my own shifterskin out of a beer sleeve. But that only prevents you from scratched your shoes, the reason its black is because its a damn bike! Its DIRTY.

change to black sneakers or wash your lever before and after every ride.
