Re: Aluminium Exhaust shield

I posted a reply earlier, but it never showed up. I just replaced my stock 2007 aluminum shield with the Carbon piece. If you want it, make me an offer to cover shipping. It is mint condition and only has about 900 miles of use on it. Looks like new.

Re: What could I offer the dealer???

This is my first Ducati and I wasn't sure about the xtra $ for the Ohlins. After I owned it a week, I knew I would never regret the extra it cost to go for the S model. The suspension is truly amazing. I got a good deal as well. Close to the Tampa deal, but not quite as much off. They still have a ...

Re: Thinking of buying a 07 MTS 1100S demo

"I'd question why the warranty is activated. There should be a full 24 months from the time you take possession or is it considered a used bike? If it's used I'd confirm the history to know exactly what's up."

Good point. I missed the 23 months thing in the first post. That means it has been ...

Re: Thinking of buying a 07 MTS 1100S demo

My opinion at 5'11" but a long torso and 31" inseam. The ergos are the best I have ever experienced and I have no need to change anything. I even bought the DP gel seat just because the stock is kind of slippery, but haven't changed it because I do love the stock comfort. As far as wind buffeting ...

Re: Financing question

MY CU always goes above and beyond for me as well. They even stayed open late on a Friday night for me to purchase my new Multi just a short time ago.

Re: Almost.....

You didn't blow anything. That bike will still be waiting for you. Give them a few days(weeks) and they may do even better. That's only $1000 off unless they are willing to throw in TT+L. I never rode the non S model to compare because, for me, it was love at first sight when I saw the Black S model ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

Hey guys, Givi just released a new rear rack (sr311 vs sr310) that is for the '07+ bikes. There has to be a slight difference in the rear somewhere from '06 to '07. Any ideas what and where it is?

Re: luggage questins from newbie

The weather here is actually cold and wet right now which is rare. Definitely a ride all year long state just have to watch for the occasional snow storm in the winter. Temps will get cold, but I have heated gear for that. As far as riding, I think NM has some of the best riding of all the states ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

:D Deal is done. Due to my work schedule, I swap bikes with them on Tuesday if I can get there or Wednesday for sure. '07 1100S Black. Currently defarkling the Uly. Looks like I will keep the HB bags from the Uly and just buy the racks for the Multi to use them.

Re: Need more info before purchasing

For me it has been the 1100S. I just couldn't go back to the 650 size range no matter the deal. I actually gave up the other day too because the deal just looked bad. Since today is last day of the month, they called back with a great deal and whole new attitude. I'm just juggling between lenders ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

Boy, let the dealer sit a few days and they get real creative with deals. They called me this morning with a whole new attitude talking about wanting to unload before the end of the month etc... I'm waiting to hear back from my credit union first before going with their financing, but the deal is ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

Finally got my bike back from the dealer and it has two new problems. I managed to get down to the Ducati dealer with it and they gave me a decent offer, but it just isn't feasible. Doesn't look like I'll be a Ducati owner anytime soon. Even worse is I'm still stuck with the problem child. :(

Re: luggage questins from newbie

I'm still finding conflicting information on DP bags. Can someone confirm if the panniers for the '06 will work on the '07 bikes and also the top rack. The Givi mount on twisted throtte says it does not work on the '07 bikes. Is the rear end different on the '07 bikes? I've heard both ways and now I ...

Re: Need more info before purchasing

I'm still waiting to get my bike back from more warranty work and then I will take it up to try to work a deal on it. If the deal works out, it will be after Thanksgiving before it happens. Currently waiting on parts to arrive for my bike before it comes back home. I really hope to get the bike, but ...
