Talking about Ducati's, a guy on another forum just posted up the latest pic's of his... -
I owned a Harley. I broke it, LOTS! Never owned a Ducati, the last one i rode I broke 15 minutes into the test ride. Took it back with bent chain adjusters and the back wheel out of line. I had a Honda. I snapped the cam shaft clean in half when it seized under one of the carriers. ...and a CJ, but that dropped a valve. Had about 8 or 9 brands. I ride the bike's I do, because they are just about "Tony Proof"...

I might look at some spacers that fit under the rear shocks next, partly because the 14's aren't very quick to turn, partly to give more ground clearance, But especially because a lot of the owners club dislike them for making the bike "unstable", probably what I'd call sporty or twitchy. -
Yeah, won't replace my Busa either ! Cheap toy, big, new"ish" 2008, few extra's, go's quite well, pipe & power commander, I think it owe's me about £1,640 so far.

Going to make some new bracket to mount it lower, and will double check to speedo against my GPS, but everything I wanted is now working.There's still oil temp and air temp senders to play with sometime.

Not too bad so far, found permanent live / ignition live and earth. Indicators / main beam / oil light / back lights were easy. Plugged rev counter into original feed, seems OK, Fuel guage seems OK, Adjusted shift light and pre-shift light settings, set clock and date. Put the speedo pick up supplied on for now, doesnt use a magnet, just counts "changes" so should work with either disc bolts or spokes in disc ( 8-of) I'd like to use the original feed but thats something i'll look into in the future.

stock exhaust mod (b-king )
Tony nitrous replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Well done Dave. I understand why your doing it. You might as well core the one on the bike as they are non-visible and one's the same as the next. If your not 100% happy then, another option is to remove the can, open it up, gut the insides, and get it re-welded shut as there's a limit to what you can acheive with a drill. I wouldnt worry about it effecting the bike. Having a long system, a Cat, and a EXUP type valve they arent sensitive to end can's. I went from stock to open can's with no re-mapping and know to several others who have. -

Its not a drama having the steering wheel on the wrong side. I've done it a few times. When you want to overtake, just start to pull out, and watch the expression on the passengers face and you'll know if its safe to go or not.... -
Its so stupid, I bloody love it !!!

We were looking up tyres last night, just the normal "what if" type timewaster. I wonder if I can get knobblies that are legal and speed rated for the Bandit 1200 ? Probably wont be needing "ice" tyres out here though ! -
