Hi StephenC.... Nice to have another M1100s owner around OzMo - I been hanging out with the Yanks coz more of them are doing stuff to the later monsters.

So your DP tail tidy is IMO a good choice (yeah well I would say that wouldnt I).  Its not the most radical - which some people dont like, coz it looks kinda stock, but less of it.  To me this is good, neatens up the rear end garbage without screaming "come and get your revenue here" to  .

Its a pretty easy swap - although the instructions are the usual joke.  It does accommodate your exhaust servo motor and the stock seat latch mechanism.

Looks like this..

A vast amount - if you're riding in the rain frequently..... prepare for the Brown Stripe Mod to the back of your riding gear  .

Not that I'd know anything about that, eh H? .

PS: If you wanna get rid of that 1/2 kilo of exhaust servo motor..... I have the technology  .

Unge, it was a crappy day for it anyway.  No sweat, the Gippy ride was just part of my transport onto other places anyway. (And the ride still happened without the Gippy expert (you) so all good)

Is this a pic of your bike before the custom paint?

It's even easier from there, Nanna

Thanks Betty,

Now that is really bad when someonelse has to do it for you.

I do have an excuse though i am a Nanna as you so rightly pointed out.

1 beautifull Grandson and a Grandaughter due in 6 weeks

Too young to be a Nanna, haven't even had my second 21st birthday yet

Lila we all help each other when we can.

Your bike looks much better with the termis - bet it sounds better too.

As to being a Nanna - yes definitely too young.

I'm a Great Aunty - not quite the same I know - but as close as I'll ever get.

No.  And occasionally.... Yes.  I'm a chameleon.

Thanks for the pictures guys. Thankfully the gaffer tape is holding up as I'm not due to get the serivce done for another week and a bit.  I've just put an order in for Rizoma indicators as I thought they would look more discreet against the small tail. If they arrive in time I'll ask Frasers to do them as well, if I try myself I'll probably break something.

Unfortunately I think I may have caught the, expensive, modding bug.  I'd love to get rid of the pillion footpegs and that ugly silver frame that holds them.  I'm also starting to come around to the attraction of bar end mirrors.  Then there are open clutch covers, to show off my (increasingly rare on new Ducati's) dry clutch!  Projects for another day.

My 1st attempt at doing my own modification! (And at posting a picture - so bear with me)

Frasers didn't get the tail chop kit delivered in time so it is still a project in waiting.  I got bored so thought I'd have a go at putting the front Rizoma indicators on myself.  There is no point doing the rears as the bit they mount to is soon to go in the bin.



As I'm not too skilled at this sort of this it took me all morning.  I had to strip the ends of the old indicator wires to get the right connection for the cable harness but that went smoothly.  Otherwise it was all pretty easy.  Mysteriously I was left with a single nut at the end, I've no idea where it came from.  I'm hoping it is just a random bit of garage rubbish, not something important!

It finally arrived

I won't say it was the easiest job I've done but I got there in the end and am pleased with the result.  It's not quite as radical as some I have seen but is a big improvement and shouldn't attract too much attention.  Ungerheuer, do you find that the numberplate lights don't really illuminate the plate that well, they seem to shine on the Rego holder instead?

Before:

After:

Unfortunately, the transistor thingy in the right indicator is broken so it doesn't actually work (but looks pretty).  I'll have to order a new one

Here is what came in the kit:

nice thread guys bikes look good!

I have a M1100 09 and I just ordered the Evotech tail tidy with Rizoma AVIO 21 indicators... cant wait for it all to arrive!

ended up getting all the parts and installing today. Gezz I can safely safe it took me a fair while to complete but I took my time and got there in the end. I ended up reusing the end piece (rego holder/reflector) off the stock one so it doesn't easily attract the wrong attention  , here's hoping anyways.

Mine's done as well, the DP version, a biartch to get back together though. I'll put pics up this weekend. Only now that I have such a small tail assembly do I notice that my Termi's are offset a little bit and the left can stands out about an extra inch further than the right, annoys the crap out'a me, I'm a bit OCD that way. Not sure how to adjust it though but brute force and ignorance will win out.
