Then I’ll be president of Texaco Oil?!


« on: July 03, 2012, 10:11:33 PM »

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  waytogo waytogo

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...

I think you must be doing it wrong.

Keep an eye on ebay for a wrecked Hyper 1100...there's your mag covers. I think they were @$1700.00 for the pair from NCR if that gives you a frame of reference. Ducati did have them on sale recently, but they might be gone..I'll look today. I have to go in a meet a customer who's dropping his bike off.

The Speedymoto Sellwood cover has be discontinued, but I think Randy and Lyle from Bellissimoto still have a couple! Call them if you're in love with that cover!

Glad to help...That clutch looks fantastic!

no one else likes das eisernes Kreuz except for Kopfjäger. i, obviously, think it looks cool:



i think it makes my bike look more böse Evil plus i lived, studied and worked in D-land for almost a decade and am a member of a Prussian Corps -- the iron cross was originally given as a medal of honor by Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia:



and especially on this day of Independence, a celebration of freedom and liberty, we should all remember Die Gedanken sind frei!

+1

That Iron Cross on a Ducati is just wrong on so many levels.

Just my opinion, though. Your milage may vary.
