worked on my bike all night in the garage, then took it for a 1 a.m. joyride on the bronx river parkway. twisty and empty and... FCUK my new pressure plate is awesome!
i installed the EVR Progressive Engagement Pressure Plate i got from our friends at motowheels.com, along with the EVR cap and spring set from proitalia. and guess what? it really works! clutch now sounds much cleaner than before, while still retaining that ducati sewing machine sound. and it is SO MUCH SMOOTHER starting off i really was stunned. even going into second and third it pulls hard and solid, much better than before. really presses me nicely into the perfect butt section of my sargent seat. i felt like the guy from Tron on the parkway. just works SO MUCH BETTER. highly recommend

and boy does it look sweet -- had to literally bake it in the oven to get the push pin bearing to drop in but well worth it:

looks so good i DON'T want to hide it behind the iron cross clutch cover i just got last week:

maybe i can get the magnesium engine cover and speedymoto guard that BlackKat put on his Il Mostro 1080...
