Ok, thanks. Will try UK dealers on Monday, else some are on ebay from Germany which should hopefully turn up by the end of the week... Cheers, Bob
Don't think it'll take much off the wrists. Can't say for defo as I haven't done many miles with it on. Chances are it may put more strain on them as you're a little higher. But will see with time. ;-)
Recently I've fitted a Healtech exhaust servo bypass widget, R1 throttle tube, new tail tidy (with numberplate light) and pro grips.
Ok but they are not that exciting really ! Also got some Gilles rearsets off ebay, this was just a test fit of the right one.
@Fastmonkey which tail tidy did you go with in the end? could be next on my list. i'm toying with the idea of just making my own at work or buying one of these off evil for £60. won't want to pay much more than that for what they are...

@bettes - I took a recommendation off here and went for this one. DUCATI FENDER ELIMINATOR TAIL TIDY 848 1098 1098S BLACK 2H 2T/S | eBay It's really good came with mini indicators (which I decided not to use) and was just delivered by the postie, no import tax or anything. I'm really pleased with it and it's a bargain really.
Defo not cheap but I think the best I've seen Melotti tail tidy Tail Tidy for Ducati 848 1098 1198 Special Tuning Kit Melotti s P | eBay
fat 70mm headers and mid pipe. I note the rear header no longer has a facility for a heat shield. Has anyone done anything to remedy this?
Just look at the size of that plate. wind brake. Mine is same width LtoR but 2/3 narrower. :Cigar: If your gonna tidy the tail, then tidy it with a smaller plate too.
painted seat vents same colour as the seat cowl. need to paint the front ones too but will be a real biXch to mask up.
So far: This morning bought some cheapy black footpegs and fecked off with my feet slipping off those blooming ball bits on the end of the standard ones. Prior to that: Superpole seat - my arse slipped all over the place on the standard one Akras Stuck a USB connector cable on pre the Isle of Man trip which worked a treat Replacement shorty levers (not yet fitted). Think thats all so far.....
Bought the bike a year ago & already had Termignoni slip on exhausts. & DP carbon hugger, so so far I've added - Seat cowl Superpole seat DP tail pack DP carbon exhaust valve cover DP tall clear screen DP short levers DP carbon key guard DP ride height adjuster 1098R foot pegs DP carbon clock set cover
I've had mine re-mapped today to turn off the exhaust valve and O2 sensors (to stop it leaning off and hunting etc) and it's been the best mod I've done I think! Awesome! So the list is: 14t sprocket Oberon clutch slave cylinder (massive help) DP Performance neoprene seat (grips!) Arrow titanium silencers DP air filter (to suit pipes) Moto-Rapido 'super stock' map Next job is a service and tyres, not really Mods!
