I would really have liked to see that mod.

S2r 800 is a wet clutch

The SSR cover was for wet clutches.

I don't see it on their wbsite anymore though.

Here's a complete see-through wet cover for a KTM though...I'm surprised no one makes one for Ducs yet

Neat. 

I looked on their website before posting and didn't see anything for a wet clutch.  (I wanted to make sure my smartassedness was correct.  Which it turns out it wasn't   )

Now I am a newbie but not that damn new! Cmon now I own one. The most likely spot for damage is over the ducati lettering and there is a pretty slick cover that bolts directly on over the original. Even comes with a replaceable puck slider. A member has one on this board and theyre happy with it. Still on my list of mods. Check it out...this guy has one.

That thread has promise.  And there's a clutch cover pic in there too.

+1 on more info on financials without diving too deep into your personal life.

Building in your closing costs in your mortgage probably won't effect your mortgage payment that much.

However, you then pay x.xx% on those over the life of the loan.


It's a tough one to call.


However..............

why sell a bike when you are moving to a state where you can ride almost year round? (summer is too facking hot if you wear proper gear.)

<pssst>

It was a wet clutch cover

Yeah, but your S4R had a reputation for collecting dirt and grime.  It's still referred to as Mudball, by the way.

She was a good little bike-hope she sees much use.

speedymoto also sell wet clutch covers/protectors.

Well, my financials are pretty decent.  I'm in the military, hence the move from one corner of the US to the another.  I'm eligible for the VA loan, but the home we are buying is a short sale and the VA was making it tough to close in a timely manner.  So we're choosing to opt for a conventional, 20% down, 30 year mortgage. 

The choice to put that much money down however, leaves little left over for closing costs without digging into emergency savings (this money is untouchable, the wife finds it sacred).  So, we're trimming a little fat and sacrificing a bit until we we're settled (my wife is a photographer who just sold some of her camera equipment, so now it's my turn).

I'm realistic about my scenario.  I may get more than I expect, I'll probably get less.  But I'm comfortable with that.  Buying the house is more important to the both of us long term, I can always come back to a Ducati (of course I will, this has been way too much fun and the community is great). 

I'm still torn of course, but if I choose to sell it, someone will get a great bike at minimal cost.  I usually count dollars and cents, but in this case, we're just trying to get to the finish line.

Thanks for the replies!
