Not sure that the seat and tank protector are doing much for it though. I have a Sargent seat with the red passenger section I can send you. If you're interested, PM me your mailing address.

(or anyone else if you're not interested...)

Peter, you made my day. Returned from a long week of travel to find this waiting for me. I intend to sneak out for a test ride later today.

"Poor man's Ferrari" my ASSs! That's a sexy machine. I know a lot of people who would prefer that bike to a Ferrari, and can afford both. Enjoy!

you missing a rubber for the footpeg? if you order now it should come in from Italy by 2020 ;)

Sort of...I have a set of stock pegs too. These were modified to provide a bit more leg room without affecting ground clearance in spirited curves.

Just ordered new brake clutch reservoir bladders...2 weeks from Italy.

900 ss cr is a good scoot. lacks the sp fork but that may not be important to you.

for just a bit more money you could buy my 916. a bit more than that you could buy my 748 sp. a bit more than that and you get my 888. please buy one of my bikes:(

That's a looker.
A bike that Ducati is now offering?

Added a bit of bling yesterday by bringing that dry clutch out in the daylight. Bunch of maintenance done (clutch, brake flush, oil, fuel filter, etc) and installed a full spaghetti system with CF cans. Have never owned a bike that is this much fun to ride.

They're not speed demons, there is just something about the way the bike makes power, and the sound......love it. Rode mine last Sunday. Glad I had my helmet on, because half the time I have this big dopey grin on my face.

Chocaholic 08-17-2017 05:54 PM

Now, that's funny! Haven't quite had that experience but I'm sure it's just a matter of time :rolleyes:.

I honestly don't know who made the exhaust. It came with the bike in a separate box with essentially no labeling (hanger brackets say Force-G on them) on the headers or the CF mufflers. The header pipes are slightly larger in diameter than the stock system and there's less restriction where the pipes come together... and the airbox is opened (no snorkels).

It was running rich with the stock setup and choppy at low rpm's. I ran some Seafoam through it, changed the plugs and installed the spaghetti system at the same time. I suspect this is what the carbs were jetted for. No more black plugs and it goes like stink. Still a bit choppy at lower rpm's but much better than it was. I suspect some of that is the nature of the beast.

As stated above, the way it makes power is just intoxicating. My Triumph Bonnie was a 900 also, but a complete bore to ride by comparison. This bike is torquey as heck and a riot to ride. Brakes are like the hand of God himself. Love love love this bike!

Ferraripete 08-17-2017 05:59 PM

not sure that is a full spag system. I have a full termi spag on my 888...it is quite a bundle of snakes for a twin.

looks like a giacomoto exhaust which is quite nice nonetheless.
