Finally finished Lucille!

[eyduc]

Well after a long winter wrenching, I finished my S2R project, Lucille.   I still need to do some final tuning on the reflashed ECU, but she rides awesome!  Just prior to my maiden ride, I chopped the S4R Termis down to 10" and installed a Sparks mid-pipe.

That looks mighty slick.

Thanks!  And thanks to the board for your help!

very clean.  what wheels are those?

[eyduc]

Thanks!  The rear is from a Hypermotard S; forged.  It is lighter than the front which is a stock 5 spoker.  The matching front won't fit my front end.  I may update it at a later date.  I'm out of funds and just plan to ride it now as it is.  It's my first Duc and wow, do these Termis have bass!   With the open dry clutch cover and the open belt covers, it is a huge assault on the ears and eyes.  What an assault it is!  I've been through a lot of bikes (all Hondas) but this is a planned keeper!

Oh heck yeah that thing looks awesome.  You definetely had a productive winter.  Especially like how you handled your triple.  Dig the matte black front fender with the red tank and rear cowl.  So how do you like the ride with the new showa rear shock and clip-ons?

Looks great!  Nicely done

Did the rear tire just bolt up or did you have to mod it a bit to get everything to work?  Just curious.  I've finished phase I of Bella but phase II might be some nice wheels/other mods....

Thanks again!   Yeah, I like the front fender better than the stocker.   SBK style!   Oh, the ride is nice and supple, but firm when digging in the turns.   Not bad around the crappy MI roads, either.   I can't compare it to the stocker since I didn't ride with it.   The clip-ons are definitely aggressive.  Makes me think I should have gotten the adjustable versions.  I'm only 5-6.  I did keep the stock handlebars for the time when I get too tired of clip-ons.

Yes, the rear wheel is a bolt-on.   It is one of my favorite mods!  Easy, improved performance and looks awesome!

[Goat_Herder]

great job over the winter.  You got a lot accomplished!  I am exploring ideas for mods this year and might have to steal a few ideas from what you've done.

[eyduc]

That's cool!  I've done my share of borrowing ideas.  That's part of the community aspect of this board.

But you said you were done...

I am done.....sometimes I get Favritis.  I'm retired, no I'm not retired.

Nice work with the Termis, first time I've ever seen a set I liked the looks of  [moto]

[eyduc]

Thanks!  I just happened upon them on eBay as a new, discontinued item at a heavy discount.  They are for the S4r.  With some research on this forum, I found they would fit.  I like the looks of the side by side style.   The only other choice was either the Zards (pricey, but stylish pipe routing) or the Sparks (tightly routed pipes).   The Termis don't route as tight and so the mufflers end up further back.   This required the necessary 4.5" chop so it would line up nicely with the tail light.   The only thing I don't like is that the decals are covered. I tried to reverse them so they would be towards the front but the rivet holes didn't line up.  Oh, also the diameter was larger than the mid-pipes by a noticeable amount. 50mm down to 40mm.  I would've liked the DP midpipes (45mm and matching finish) but it was too pricey (2x).
