Looking good!

I got the smoke lens and integrated turn signals done today, I didn't like their "plug and play" connections, so I soldered them all :

Almost caught it with the turn signal full on:

Also I think I got ALL the stickers off the frame today (unless one is hiding)

Man you didn't even read the first post ... it's a 1 of 150 1999 CITY model that came with the Mandarina Duck bags (soft saddle bags)

Just ordered a new street helmet :

windsheild I'm considering, it's pretty smooth / doesn't upset the looks of the naked bike :

http://www.dartflyscreens.com/US/Monster.html

"I received my flyscreen today for my '02 Ducati Monster. I am totally blown away!!! It arrived in perfect condition, installed in 10 minutes (possibly less), looks fantastic, and I am amazed at how well such a small windscreen deflects such a large amount of air. I installed it at work and took the maiden voyage on my commute home, which is about a 30 minute freeway ride. I was instantly impressed with the job the flyscreen did in reducing the head-on wind blast. Not only does it work very well but it looks great and doesn't flap in the breeze the way the genuine Ducati flyscreen does. Fit and finish are first rate as well. Great job! I now have a great Ducati Monster which, with your flyscreen, reminds me of the beautiful cafe racers of the '60s and '70s. It's a must-have for any of today's naked bikes. Thanks for a great product and great service. I couldn't be happier with my Dart Flyscreen."

I am digging the screen. It really adds, and is functional.

I like the seat cowl too

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #34 on:** February 23, 2008, 04:24:20 pm »

That's awsome. I'm sure it helps with the wind. I can emagine having a 75 mph wind beating you in the chest all the time could wear you out!

Its like a massage so you should like it..........or its like someone pinning you down and taping you're chest repeatedly so you want to kill someone. Either way I don't know....I have had too much wine tonight to think straight

Bastage !!!

Well I decided on Mobil 1's Racing 4T 10W-40 (previously known as MX4T 10W-40)

And I think I'll just call it LIQUID GOLD, the most "I" have ever paid for oil: $9 / per quart !!!

Good thing I don't have to change it very often !!!

Thats what I am running in my Raptor. I love it, but ya sure is pricey. I order it from http://www.eliteetc.com/mo1mx10shin.html since I couldnt find any local.

BumpaD_Z28 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 09, 2008, 06:33:59 pm »

Well, I went for a 30 mile ride today, not too bad only my legs got cold. The bike is still scary fast to me

, 70 to 100 mph goes by VERY quickly !!! And the new Helmet ROCKS ! (hadn't worn it yet, my bad) The DUCATI makes such awesome sounds when riding its SWEET ! And I got the biker wave from a guy on a V-ROD

(I waved first though) I even got through one turn fast enough to start compressing the suspension

PICS from today:
