New Beastie in the collection. Only had a short run but it seems punchy & comfy. 600 miles to do now in 3 weekends (the first service is booked) so plenty of miles to adjust.
They are Evo-Tech. I chose them because they fit to the engine mounting points and don't clamp to the frame.
These? https://evotech-performance.com/products/ducati-supersport-s-frame-crash-protection-2017 Back in the day, I would routinely fit these; especially to my track bikes. More recently I suspected they had the potential to cause structural damage which may not occur without them & that sacrificing the fairings etc may be the lesser evil. I lowsided my SS recently & the damage done is quite significant; I'm sure in this instance they would have helped a lot. If it gets repaired, these will be on my Christmas list. Thanks.
Yes, that's them. I also had a minor off last year but the damage to the bike, 3 fairing panels, a ding in the tank, mirror, bar end, rider footrest plate and a few other marks were going to have it written off. I managed to get a cash settlement with the insurers and repaired it myself with new and used parts and the bike wasn't recorded as a cat N. If I had had the crash protectors fitted then the damage would have been much less.
I like this it looks great ! .... I Did not see it on eBay, I guess it was sold straight away ? PS..change the D for F in your user name...
Stored in a corner of the kitchen till my new garage was completed. Complete with four-legged security devices!
Probably! The bike never lasted in the kitchen for more than a few weeks and was then relegated to the hallway where (I think) it made such an attractive entrance ornament. Garage now built, so it has it's own proper place . . .
