  1. Hello everyone
    I am a new member
    I have been riding and around bikes most of my life.
    My first bike was a BSA C15 which I customised into a café racer back in the 60s
    I rode it with my mate on the back from Tyneside to Great Yarmouth for a weeks camping holiday
    I have had a number bikes since then, mainly sports bikes including a new 916 senna 1997
    After a 5 year layoff
    In March-15 I decided to buy a 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796 which I have done about 800 miles on it
    I have seen some fabulous pictures of custom Hypermotards and Monsters on the net that I love and would like to replicate.
    I have made a few changes to my Hyper i.e.
    Removed the mirrors replace with monster style with LED indicators in the fronts.
    Rear mini indicators.
    CNC short brake and clutch levers.
    Carbon belt covers.
    Tail tidy.
    I removed the headlamp cowl - beak
    I made a fibreglass headlamp cowl to slim front end which looks ok only due to my limited skills
    I made a carbon under tray which keeps the road crap off the underside of the seat.
    The bike came with
    Zard cylindrical twin can exhaust looks and sounds ok, I think I would like something louder.
    Carbon hugger
    I would like to fit a front mudguard but don't know what will fit, any ideas?
    That is it for now
