Screen on or off?

[FIFO]

This Thread has morphed from the Bug screen thread too Heated Grips and sausages,wish  some off you guys would take the idle chit chat and banter to the trading post 

Hey Sabre Brian nice photo     small tip next time leave the Helmet on 



Btw i prefer the screen on on my bike ,though i do like the look with it off, even better with bar end mirrors and lowered head light 

[Sabre Brian]

My wife took the photo you arses.

I think he looks very handsome without his helmet on. I also think his bike is quite a bit cleaner than yours. He probably wouldn't even have to pay off the judges at concourse, unlike some I could mention.

You guys are just jealous, its a very nice, getting back to nature photo i feel with a lovely bike (with exception to the mirrors of course)

Maybe then, we could start a "My Wife Took the Photo You Arses"  thread........     though its not really appropriate i guess.....

Oh and dumb the udder man, Monster Parts can help you with a marving mid pipe and come high recommended.

Yesterday I took the screen and headlight cowel/fairing panel off (or whatever the correct term is).

  I think it looks shit hot without the screen on, but you definitely get a lot more
wind.

Brian, my screen was officially off as of today, you are right about "the wind" factor.......

Never before, have I experienced so much "wind" noise      from two well known local identities........wind at a thousand paces to be exact........        Must have been the pea and ham soup i'd say.......

Brian, What MisHka (aka Mark) was trying to say was, get rid off the catalytic converter.
Best mod you can do, makes the bike sound like a ducati should

[Sabre Brian]

Does it need to be retuned after doing that?

Short Answer Yes 

Long story

Provided you have the correct ECU 

 1
If you still have the stock exhaust ,closed air box, and ECU.the stock ECU is not tunable Not tunable.

 2
If you have the Ducati termi slipons with open air box and ECU kit fitted ,the ECU  supplied with this kit is Tunable
This ecu is suitable for the mid pipe conversion ,
my self and Mark have just gone through this process.
The guys at  Dmoto Tuned them up nicely,for $100 while you wait
Mine was more or less right as it was,just needed a small tweek

3
Or you can get the Ducati performace full system Ecu and have it tuned  (if you don't have the correct ECU)


There are other options, those are the simplest imo
