Since i'm a tic over 200 lbs I had to have the suspension resprung ( much thanks to Nick @ Valley Ducati Service). I'd say a must for anyone over 130 lbs  ;D

Racetech internals (springs, valves) on the front end and new spring on the rear. Now a much better ride with plenty of adjustability- stock front end was max'd out on preload before internal swap.

what rate rear spring did you get?  i am 215 w/ gear and plan on re-spring-ing soon.

I assume you have the matching Arai helmet?

Yes, yes I do.  ;D

The paint on the bike is actually a loose interpretation of the helmet. I saw a review from one of the Euro bike mags a few years ago and saw the Italian flag helmet and I had to have it.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions.

Okay, seriously, your bike is in 9 kabillion threads on the board.  When are we just going to make it a sticky?  :)

Hey, I only provide when I'm asked.  [roll]

The sticky idea does have some merit though.  ;D

No problems with my suspension either.  ;)



No seriously get the right spring rate it makes a big difference.  Then get some ohlins.  Also makes a nice difference.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
