Title: New Ducatista
Post by: jamanta on August 04, 2009, 12:58:42 PM
Hi All,

Just bought a S2R 800 yesterday. The bike is amazing! Got a really good deal on it. The poor guy was divorcing from his wife and needed to let it go. 2005 with 2500 miles, full titanium Arrow exhaust, power commander, Pitbull rear stand, etc. The bike looks like it just got taken out of the dealer.

I have a few questions for you guys. I'm a little tall and I would like to raise the seat height about 2 inches or more if possible. How can that be done? Spring preload?

Also, I wanted to adjust the foot controls to push them back a little bit. Is that possible at all?

Last, I would like to raise the handlebars a bit. Should I go for a set of bar risers?

Thanks for any response and lets ride!!!!

Welcome and congrats on the new Duc, sounds like a good deal. [thumbsup]

The best place to get all your questions on suspension, seat height, rearsets, and handlebars answered is the Accessories & Mods (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=5.0) forum, you'll find lots of ideas there.

Good luck and looking forward to pictures of your S2R. 8)
