1098S Refresh

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by ScrumpyDave, Nov 29, 2012.

  1. Update really after joining a few weeks ago :)

    Well since I swapped the bike I have stripped the bike completely and cleaned it and done a few bits, the recall had not been done for the rectifier but riders motorcycles of Bristol have kindly sorted it with Ducati and will do the work :)

    Found the hoses to look a bit tatty with a slight leak from one so ordered some Samco silicon hoses in red with clips.

    Replaced the pads with ferodo ST pads and added new stainless pro bolt caliper bolts.

    Fitted Oberon mirror extenders so I can see more than my elbows :)

    Ordered titanium sprocket nuts as the others looked old and used.

    Ordered 14 TH rental front sprocket to help around town.

    Powerbronze upper carbon heat shield

    And finally a new surflex clutch pack as I am unhappy with the judder the current clutch is giving on take up.

    Ohhh forgot interact K3,s to replace the qualifiers fitted

    Wife not happy lol

    No Christmas gifts for me this year :(

    Will be some pics to follow once all the work is done :)

  15. Yeah....the big police car behind you having a disco!
     
  16. you thought about buying a white bolt kit?
    like the mirrors, they indies as well the DP ones?
     
  17. Nah...I don't think I've even seen the white bolt kits......Might just check them out.

    Yeah the DP mirrors still have the indicators in them, they're a direct replacement.........Almost! (ask anyone about the different flash quirks and reversed polarity on the wiring).

  18. Wont catch me copper!! :biggrin::biggrin:
     
  19. Only had to reverse the polarity on mine. Flash rate was the same. Just put a pin in the plug and popped the pins out and swapped them over. They don't hold up too wel to a bike landing on its side though!
