What did you just buy for your bike?

Oversize carbon air ducts and carbon radiator guards for the Streetfighter S

 

Where did you get these from?

 

Motorcycle Large Universal Bar End Weights

 

Do these weights help reduce vibration? My right hand goes all pins and needles if I sit at a steady speed for too long. Like 40-60 mins on the motorway and I have to pull over to let the circulation sort itself out. :frown:

 

Yes, they do help quell the really high frequency vibes. In fact it has highlighted the vibes coming through the rest of the chassis as the handlebars are now less buzzy. I haven't ridden it for an hour at a constant speed though so can't comment on whether your problem will be solved. At only £20 they also look much better than the cheap plastic caps, and offer more protection should the bike go down.

 

This should sort my problem then, they sound like a good bet for £20. To be honest, the cheapy plastic stock ones are a bit of a detail to let down are they not? I would have thought that a twin would need heavy weights, not non-existant ones. Weird.

Anyway, I'm off to order them. Do these fit an 848 do you know? I don't know the size until I get home to measure them.

 

I'd like to think it was Ducati in the 'pursuit of lightness' :smile: I think the 848 and 1x98 have the same diameter bar ends. One tip: I spray painted the bolts with Hammerite black paint before installation as the ones supplied are shiny stainless. But these really should have been standard fitment imho.

 

£20 is a steal for an Oberon part!

 

Yip, I thought it was weird that they'd shown a stainless bolt in the pic. Bit weird cutting that corner!

Will get them ordered up just now. Cheers. :smile:

 

Thanks, ordered.

 

titanium nuts and bolts

3x black plastic number plates nuts & bolts to put where the hideous monstrosity of a splash guard was attached.

Hey big spender.

 

Not bought yet, but I think I'm about to order some Stomp Grips. Had tried to go without, but I really miss them after having them on the GSXR, will just have to put up with the looks I guess!

 

Hey Andy, if you're not keen on the looks of StompGrips, try the TechSpech Gripster tank pads. I have the C3 ones on my 999 and they suit it well. They're shaped to fit the tank and are available in three different textures...

Techspec Gripster Tank Pads...

cheers,
