  5. The seat risers arrived today for my Multiststrada so fitted and feels much better with the slight raise. Off to Stoke tomorrow to get the gear sensor remapped and sort out the leaking clutch reservoir lid :upyeah:

  6. Degreased the chain & detailed the bodywork & wheels on the SF. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a front paddock stand years ago, as it's made my cleaning regime so much easier.

  7. Took the 899 out and gave it a proper ragging, first time I’ve actually rode it really hard as I always think of Ducati’s as delicate flowers that will break if ridden like I ride my jap bikes. Seemed to enjoy its thraping though…..will probably blow up next time I ride it now. :joy:

  9. Washed and dried my V4S, I’m hoping to polish up some of the grungy bits underneath. Any recommendations on potions or creams?
     
  10. Sdoc100 all the way....put it on neat and hear it crackle as it eats brake dust, grease and oil...

  11. Autosol for the headers
    Just the tonic to get rid of all the tar
    GT85 to shine everything up and protect it
    Anything with carnauba wax for the bodywork

  12. As we have Covid that maybe today’s excitement.
     
  13. Been cleaning and polishing most of the morning. What do people use on the telescopic fork tops where it has machining marks/grooves ? Tried a toothbrush and GT 85
     
  14. Needed to blow off some steam after a tough week, life is good again. The roads were empty.
