    Finally a massive thanks to everyone on here for their help thus far, especially @Android853sp for supplying the mint spider rearsets and for helping suss out that ducati sell a little bracket that supports the heat shield and is compatible with spider rear sets (costs £50 odd with Ducati tax on mind!!)

    Cheers

    Just needs a damned good clean now

  3. Ordered a steering damper for the Multistrada, hopefully it’ll stop the flighty feeling from the front end.

  5. Looks like you’ve found something missing……
     
  6. 500km in a day is an awful lot. Is every day like that on your trip?

  7. Nope, that was the longest day. Most days are around 150-200 miles now. I’ve got today and Tuesday off the bike as well.

  8. Bought 4L of 15/50, oil filter, o-rings and washer. I collect my bike from Almeria today. So, naturally new oil.

  9. Yep, a whole load of reliability! :mad:
     
  10. Swapped bikes around in the garage - brought my track bike closer to the door as I have a trackday on Tuesday.
    Weather, as usual, is looking iffy so tomorrow afternoon will make the decision whether to swap out the wheels for my wets.

  11. Got the bucket and sponge out. Not my favourite job but the results make it worth the effort. Andy
