So thats what the slingshot wet clutch cover looks like on an older model monster! Ive got an 06 s2r in red thinking of picking that up down the line...how is the quality of the piece? Are you happy with it? As far as the forks...think it looks good and it matches the color scheme of your bike. Good job.

Love the Arrows. Love the belly pan. Not lovin' the vinyl tape on the forks. Not lovin' the red cover. I'll 3rd the "busy" aesthetic. Go all black on the forks or remove all tape.

You've got a subtle black-n-yellow theme emerging and I think you should build on it. With more black and a little more yellow.

Thanks guys

Thats kinda what i thought ...the all black fork was just too dark for me i will remove the stripe fork vinyl

as for color i do have Red clickers on the pazzo's and the cover

but the Arrows have yellow  and the 998 spring is yellow

Quality of the cover is exceptional ...easy install ...nice removable slider....great for covering road rash ...which i had from a low side .....i would recommend this cover

I actually don't mind it! 

Lame?  No. 

Kick-ass?  No. 

Different?  waytogo

My $.02:  The red clutch cover thingy has GOT to either get it's color changed or go back to Ebay.  It destroys the look of the rest of the bike IMO.

  I wouldn't go so far as calling it lame, just different, for your taste.

 Man I love the look of those Arrow cans.

Not lame, just different.  Bike looks good.  Did make me think of these though:



Prior to everyone wrapping their forks in vinyl I wrapped mine with athletic tape.  I didn't completely cover the forks either.  I think it kind of gave them an old school fork protector sleeve look.



I've recently decided to go ahead and fully wrap the forks using 3M Dry Carbon.  It's a vinyl wrap that has the look and feel of Dry Carbon Fiber Weave.

That smiley is the Hoosier Hooligan's Indiana Ducatisti Club Logo.  You can get that crankshaft cover here:

http://hoosierhooligans.org/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=06217e23784ecddbf9291482319ae1b3

They are currently out of stock though.  Contact Grifo or BrianS to find out when they may get some more.
