hey. MrPlease.

i'm jacking your thread for a min. need to know about the termi DP kits. does it come with a K&N filter AND a modifiied airbox or just the filter?
i got a thread in tech about free flow filters that i need your input on.

man i didn't even look inside the box. i just took it to the dealer and had them install it. what i had left after installation was cans, stock ecu, and air filter. so i guess it did come with an ecu and air filter.

ok i promised pics so here are the pics...

problem is these pics suck. its been raining all day and couldn't get the bike out of the garage.

once it clears up and gets sunny i will get the bike out and take better pics.

Sleeper_I · February 08, 2009, 04:40:25 PM

I got mine a few days ago. It's just the slip ons, ecu, and the air filter, no mod airbox.

Sleeper_I · February 08, 2009, 04:42:05 PM

holy moly, the tires looks beefy from the pics.

Let us know how it handles when you get a chance

mrplease · February 08, 2009, 04:43:53 PM

ok, as for the ride. i only rode it about 30 miles yesterday after the install. as for the difference there wasn't much. the only thing i can say is the bike felt more stable. the "flickability" was still there. i will give a more detailed review when i get more time on the new rims...

looking good! interested in seeing a closeup of the gap between the tire and the chain/splatter guard when the sun comes out.

hcomp · February 08, 2009, 08:47:18 PM

Did you go with the larger profile front tire? aka the 1100 size?

mrplease · February 08, 2009, 08:52:28 PM

no i went with a 120/65/17

thats right in between the two...

oh and i wanted to add that these wheels and tires are lighter than the stock ones...

mrplease · February 08, 2009, 08:54:15 PM

oh and ryan: i wanted to let you know that when i took the bike to the ducati dealership i had them check the coil wire issue and they were correct! they weren't backwards...

hcomp · February 08, 2009, 10:03:58 PM

Like the way the front tire looks (and the back one too!) Glad you didn't have the coil issue. I wonder why your bike was running rich though? Oh well the good news is you will be running open loop all the time with the DP ECU!

Look awesome man...Beefyer than the stock tires...

Big Troubled Bear · February 09, 2009, 12:10:46 AM

Looks real good, a bit more manly

duclvr · February 09, 2009, 04:15:02 AM
