Evening All, Picked up my DVT Pikes Peak this morning from Ducati Leeds. Have to say Simon was a top lad and was a pleasure to deal with. I chopped in my 2013 GS and got a reasonable deal plus the added bonus of zero hassle. So all in all I'm very happy. Happy not to have to ride a GS anymore, what a dull bike. God knows why I bought it! I had a quick 120 mile ride home amd then got a few evo-tech bits fitted. Ive got a 42t sprocket to fit but I'll probably leave it for a week or two. Here's a few crappy iPhone pics. Tucked up, ready for bed! What's the best way to get the reflectors off the forks?
I warmed the reflectors up with swmbo's hair dryer and ran a thin piece of electric wire down the back of the reflector (acted like a saw) you also could use fishing line if you have, once off it leaves the double sided tape on so you will need to peel it off.
It's a diesel, but in my defence it is a 320bhp diesel so it's not all bad. Being an Audi, I naturally drive it like a cock!
Looks Good, but I really wish Ducati would fit number plate, and light to crud catcher, and dump the complete rear tail section, ON all their bikes
Get rid of that hideous bit of plastic behind the rear wheel ... WTF were they thinking when they put that on there ... other than that loving the colours
Just picked up my dvt s too, sadly not a pikes peak. P/X for a grand tourismo. You had any luck with the Multi link app, mine says the last 5 numbers of frame don't match up so it wouldn't link! Also my heated grips are Not very hot, any ideas? Still very chuffed with It though.
Another ukgs forum bod throws the towel in [emoji41] At least one thing you aint jumped out the frying pan and into the fire, as your used to Italian bikes . I recall your very nice tuono ! So what's nxt on the mods graham ! Full termi [emoji56]
I miss that Aprilia, shouldn't have sold it. I wouldn't mind, I didn't need to. I intended to put it away for a few years and ride the GS in the meantime. I got it in my head that someone deserved to enjoy it. Anyway, you live and you learn. I almost rang the dealer after I'd place the order for the PP to tell him to bang the full system on. At 2 large it's a fair investment and I wasn't sure how I'd get on with the standard Termi. So, it's too quiet and I'm ignoring my inner monologue to wait until next year. I'll let you know how I get on.
I needed a few goes to get the frame number to load. Three or four from memory. I've not tried my heated grips yet. Can't imagine they will be as good as the GS.
You are running it in with normal exhaust & at the first service getting them to pop the termi system on it, surely?!!!?
