S4R Versions

Nice one Pompetta  

The see-through belt cover looks good, where did you get it?

Did you mod you swing arm too, it has additional cross members on it and me likey.

Similar to this. Picture link borrow from vw151.

Thanks!

The belt covers are Rizoma.  I bought them from a board member who had them powder-coated gloss black.  I love 'em.

The swingarm is the OEM item for the S*R Monsters: it has no additional crossmembers.  I did have it powder-coated though.  The pic to which you linked is Ducati's MHE 900.  Man, I'd love to have one of those!

I've been trying to clean up the look of the bike a bit, inspired by board members expecially kopfjager's bike.

You're welcome and thanks for the info.

I will note it down in my "need to get list".

My desmoquattro has 33k kms,still can't see myself getting rid of it.

I've loved my '04 S4R since the day I laid eyes on it.  I considered selling it this year but then I figured that was a really dumb idea.  Can't go wrong with a 996!  Good luck!

my 996 has 36k on it and running strong  

It need to be tuned up more often than before when it was new but as soon as I get it out of Nichols evertime it runs like its brand new again.

If I'm reading this information correctly, up to 2006 the S4R used the 996 Desmoquattro engine? Did it use ST4 cylinder heads?

It had the low exhaust cam heads, AFAIK they were the same as the ST4s.
S4 was the same style low heads, same as ST4.
