Hey all of you Ducati owners here on DMF!  [wine]

I finally decided to registrer an account here on DMF (after daily visits for almost 2 months). Bought a Monster yesterday, a S2R 800 -05.

I'm about to do some mods on it though it's almost stock.  [coffee]
It has a Termignoni kit; full system with ECU/Air filter. The tail is chopped a bit and has a small damn carbon plate on it (which i'm about to chop even more) and throw away into the woods...

It's a Dark so it's without the cuts/seat cover so I have to find where to buy one, I guess e-bay is the place to use. It's other turning indicators on but I don't know bout that, whether i am keeping them or switching. Probably switching when I chop the tail..

What mods is a must? According to YOU, I know that its a personal opinion but care to share  [beer]

Also bought a helmet today! A matte black X-lite X-802.  [Dolph]


Nuff said bout the monster, I'm 25 years old just moved back to Sweden from Australia, working my ass off with two jobs atm!
Looking forward to learn more about my monster and will still be a daily visitor, and maybe write one or to posts everyother time...


Nice meeting you!  [laugh]

Hej - I'm in Norway - been on your local Ducceklubben track days - fine group of people (even though they are Swedish)

German Ricambi Weiss has some cheap seat cowls, unpainted I think.
Remember to get the brackets and thumb screws. Do you have the underseat holes to screw the thumb screws into?

Bikepilot I agree  [popcorn]

Stopintime, sounds good! Thanks for the links you posted  [wine]. 39â,¬ is really cheap, have you tried their products before? Yeah I noticed that the brackets are excluded, don't know if I have the holes, must check.

Smagu, nice! Been in Ducatiklubben for a long time? I just joined. I will probably buy a superbike later on, maybe next fall. So I intend to attend on the trackdays later on!  [Dolph]
