So Winters coming..What Mods are you planning???

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Killing me to say no mods, but NO mods until the bike is paid in full next year. Got ...... this year on my annual bonus that would have paid for several Pani Rs. Sights set on SICOM rotors, BSTs, Akra full system, rearsets TBD, CRG carbon levers, etc.
 
Okay, so in the end you're wasting $3,000 for a bike that will again need that $2,000 service before you know it. No matter what way you cut it, its a waste of money if you are going from bike to exact same bike- base to base, s to s, etc etc. Now, if you're going base to S, or S to tri for other reasons then that makes sense. Trying to sell this bike coming up to the 15,000 mile service you will not get anywhere near what you think you will. You plan on trading in? Then you'll be raped on the trade in... Plan on personal sale and then buying the other bike new at a dealer? Because theres another $2,000 in sales tax. Your "$3,000 out of pocket" estimate just turned into at least $6,000.

Just saying man ;-) Either way, enjoy your 1199 ('s)
Then again, I shouldn't be speaking. My S was fine but I went ahead and sprung for the R as well.
Really, look at resale. I'm getting offers for $16,000 for my 2013 S ABS with $4,000 of .... on it. I think you're being a bit liberal on resale/trade in value expectations... I'll light the sumbitch on fire and piss it out before I say goodbye to it for $16K..

16k seem bit low for sure. Is that private or dealer trade in?
 
No such thing as a winter in Tenerife but had Termi slips fitted today along with a rear sprocket/chain [41t] change. Think that's me done for mods but you never know!

It's sad to me that at this point in life I can afford a list like that, but don't care enough to bother:(
Please post pics when done!!

Several Pani R's. Wow you must earn a lot of money with those bonuses.

do you remove the fairings often to show people the samco radiator hoses or can you see them without doing that ?:D
 
Of the few motorcycle forums I've been a part of over the years, I definitely find this the most 'organized' LOL. Good stuff guys. I just bought my Pani a few weeks ago and up here in CT, it's practically winter.

I've been watching some threads talking about the CW Werks (junk??). I google 1199 LED turn signals and fender eliminator kit and I see New Rage Cycles stuff. Definitely looks more sophisticated and brighter.

I'm just looking for simple mods - signals / fender eliminator. I see @NOLA ordered the NRC stuff so I'm interested to see how it looks before ordering myself.

I have the smoke CW integrated on the rear of my R and am happy. Haven't heard anyone refer to it as junk yet. I have pics and video of bike on this forum if you want more info...
 
Only thing I did was a new full termi exhaust picked it up for 2450.00. As far as winter it's riding season all year in Daytona Beach and bike week is next month.
 
Thought I would bump this thread to see what you guys have planned this winter??
 
Mods to be done:

Ass, ball and leg warmers.
Shiny red paint job.
Terrifyingly fast engine.
Erotically good looks.


Wait that comes standard with the bike. Carry on.
