I dont see a place for build threads so i guess i'll just make a loosly organized build thread here?
anyway, my first ducati coming from the world of honda's I sold my VFR800 in search of a duc as I wanted something more fun to customize, something with more personality, and something more nimble around town but still capable of multi state cruising.

the day i picked her up  2006 s2r800


HUGGEEE exhaust is huge! low seat didnt fit me at all, suspension was woefully undersprung but she did have a few nice upgrades, race flashed ecu, upgraded front calipers (s2r1k?) and the leo vince exhaust

first things first, chop the tail, and shorten the exhaust.




up next was to ditch the tiny upswept chrome bars in favor of the larger 22mm late model tappered bars, took some boring out of the clamps to make them fit but they look and feel SO much better



great deal on a used fully adjustable S4 rear shock, coil reloaction, little of cutting, LIKE A GLOVE





VHT wrinkle coat paint for belt covers

PSR frame sliders,



bar end caps fit great to plug the shopped frame! also custom brackets foooooorrr....




reverus

cbr600 integrated tail light!  [thumbsup]





new tank pad, new seat, fitting the tail light



BIG day, full arrow exhaust!!! boom this is ungodly loud and i LOVE IT. also added stripes to the tank! not bad for freehand cut vinyal!

race tech springs all the way around! no pics of the front install but ya, they're in there.  no more bottoming out on pebbles in the road!!   8)



btw, ratchestraps as spring compressors is scary

An idea run open belt covers or cut / mod the stockers

I remember when Gus (former member) rolled up with Arrows on his S2R1K, those things boomed off the canyon walls for miles.
