Also to worry is the warranty issue if installing exhaust other than the designated Akra set...better to check with dealer before installing other brands...

My trusted salesman at my trusted dealership, Montgomeryville Cycle Center says it’s only if I open up the inside of my engine and start messing with cams or whatever that the warranty will be void, so I ordered the Zard slipons for my V4 for $2k instead of the Akra slips for like $4k
I’m sure a senior member can jump in and fact check and berate me but I do trust this dealership.

Do you DK, trust comes from personal experiences.!
 
I’ve been eye balling the SC can for a long time. That would probably be my go to for the V2 depending on price.

I have a two bro’s in the Daytona and it screams!!! Not sure how well US brands will go with the Duc, maybe a a dyno will help out?
 
Creeping out to pound foothills parkway before sundown to get another 100 on the ticker. Passed the Ranger at 9:10 coming back @ the speed limit.

the newer section is fresh pavement which is like glass. the older section is pothole free but quite rough. I didn't fiddle with the suspension adjustments but I am thinking about going to a softer spring.

I got mine two weeks ago (Australia). First Ducati. It's quite a decent bike, but a little sluggish - I have never owned a new bike so I am guessing it's the thicker oil they put in for the first 1000 kms ... Also, not a huge fan of the shifter ... Up is butter smooth but down is a painful experience and can only be described as clunky. Trying to find exhaust options at the moment but not having much luck.
 
the last little uphill switchback going home requires me to slip the clutch a bit to keep it above 3k rpm. I could go through it faster but that possibility of oncoming traffic outweighs clutch wear or lugging the motor.

I paid cash. I heard it was 1.99% for 36. Saved some extra $$ paying cash up front though so it was worth it in y opinion.

I agree, I did the same with mine. I had an R6, the sticker was $8999, after finance...15k! So, this time I waited
 
yes, welcome to the forum.

my kriega 5 liter bag and mounting kit arrived yesterday....i actually had to go pick it up at fedex. installing it now and taking some pledge to the slung chain lube. pledge is quite awesome.
