My name is Gary and I am a long-time Ducati enthusiast living about 20 miles north of NYC on the Hudson. I recently bought a low mileage '02 S4 Fogarty to replace my outgoing 93 Mark I Superlight. I've owned a custom 250, 350, 750SS, 750M, Darmah SS, 916, Superlight and F1B. I'm looking forward to tapping into the Monster knowledge base on this forum.

welcome!

Sounds like you have quite a pedigree of ownership, including the Foggy. 

What did you do with the SL?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Welcome indeed!  ;) Think you have me beat. Still have the F1? Always wanted a Montjuic... [leo]

The Superlight went to a fine man in Cincinnati. He'd been looking for 4 years and I am quite pleased it went to him.

As for the F1, yes I still have it but have spent the last year sourcing electrical gremlins. Plan on replacing on/off switch, hi-lo beam switch, ignition switch, ignition pickups and ignition boxes at some point. Other than that, they are wonderful motorcycles albeit a little compact for taller people. However, I am a glutton for punishment and rode a 916 from NY to Montana and back across Canada in 6 weeks. The Montjuich is head and shoulders above the standard F1 in terms of performance, but even the base F1 is a special breed. Thanks for the warm welcome. Many foolish questions to follow!

What did you use for the replacement pickups?

Have you tried the Electrex aftermarket pickups?  I have them in my Alazzurra and they work very well with the upgraded mil-spec wiring I used.
