Muh new scooter...S4Rs

**LBD** · 2nd March 2009, 02:58

Saw the new 696 come out then some rumors of a street fighter, then the new 1100 monster...

These new bikes did not do it for me like the existing shapes, so in went the order for a replacement for my S4 and here is the result.

Hugger, damper, short termi, EVR slipper clutch, rear sets, EVR resovoirs, clutch cover, and LED indicators, Tank bag and Ducati luggage, bar ends (They are too wide), detector, short synto levers and smaller CF rear end.

8 days and 5500km later and all I want to change are the bar ends and fit an oil cooler guard.

Shes a keeper....

Nice. Very nice. The duck I would pick too.

I wonder if they are paying Buell royalties on the underslung muffler patent as well.

Bealey Hotel, near Arthurs Pass.

Yes it is open, common on many Ducs, has rust proof springs and all anodised aluminum construction....and it works well. Went with the EVR because the basket is 48t instead of the std duc 12, and it does not use the spider spring that std ducs use and is prone to breakage.
