Hey Tom, welcome to the site; nice bike and mods so far!

 

Welcome and enjoy

 

Thx Mrprovy/gandalf! Loving the handlebar setup so far. - I like the way the mirrors look, but not 100% if they are big enough for me to be totally aware of traffic. Live in LA so being able to dodge traffic is super important.

Couple issues on my ride today. Threw a CEL and my gear indicator stopped working for a period. After taking it back down to first a couple times and back up, it start working again. Common issue I wonder? Gonna take it by the service dept this weekend and see what tripped the light. Already had to have the battery replaced (determined faulty) and my starter sounded a bit weak again. Sounds like I have some gremlins to potentially sort out.

 

Bike looks absolutely awesome! Quick question man, when ya did the bars, did ya have to mess with the brake and clutch line much? Since I can’t stand my ape hangers on mine, I’m definitely going to lower bars as soon as I can.

 

Thx Nate! The dealer did the work, but they did tell me it wasn't bad because the cables were ok. The stock bars seem a lot longer than the drag bars from the sport pro. I think you should be fine. 🤞

 

No problemo!

Ordered another part today, others still haven’t shipped. So did a “free” mod today after I got my plates in. Hacksawed the ugly reflectors off the license plate holder. Looks great now!

Have another set of mirrors coming in, love the crg’s but want to try some with a little more visibility.

I just did the same thing to mine on Sunday! I’m a firm believer that we own motorcycles, not stingrays! 😁

 

@GrandpaNate thought I saw someone mention in a thread they were able to call new rage cycles and get their under seat bit they sell with their fender elim/light setup, separately. I rather like the swing arm mounted one, though it’s a bit chunky. Think I’m throwing the oem led tail lights on and calling the back of the bike done for now.

Bummed the daedelus people only make theirs for beemers (lights and fender elim). Had them on my r nine t, amazing function and quality.

 

I'll have to try and find something. The shop where I got the bike has NSR(?) and they look like quality stuff, but they lay flat against the underside and make the plate damn near invisible.

 

Yeah, not sure how that compares to the new rage one. Gotta be something out there!

 

If not , I’ll find some metal and fab one. Did it on a couple of the monsters I had in the past. It’s all tucked in so it’s not really seen at all. And bonus, it’s not north of $200!

 

Share up pics when you do! Just replaced my CRG blindspots with motogadget spy mirrors. I like the look of the crgs more but the visibility on these seem way better.

My lady bought me new lights for front and back. Some other parts are in transit and should be here soon. More pics coming once I’m back in town in a week!

 

Had my gear shifter sensor replaced, things seem much better on that front. Still questioning how weak my starter sounds compared to my sport pro. It starts quickly so maybe I’m just trippen?? I’ll have to post a video soon to see if I’m crazy or what.

Several parts came in, just haven’t had time to put them on. Hopefully soon!

 

How's the visibility in these aftermarket mirrors ?

 

Hey Dirk - they are a nice middle ground between the rizoma eccentricos/stock sports pro mirrors (if visibility is your number one requirement, these are the way to go) I've had and the CRG blindsights. The blindsights I thought looked the coolest, but they were really hard to use as a primary mirror - very small and low in your periphary vision. These motogadgets are a bit smaller than the larger mirrors I've had, but still offer great visibility though. The only knock I have against them is you do have to move your line of sight down more than the bar ends that sit higher to use them. I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

 

I really need to get on it, several accessories ready to go on this weekend. More in transit. Also ordered the black low seat but that prob won't come in for a few weeks. Tried plastidipping the sport cowl, def learned some things after a couple failed attempts (mostly due to dripping). Have another can coming, hopefully can get it all sorted this weekend.

 

Here's the mods I aready did:

• Termignoni exhaust (full line: silencers and manifolds): great improvement in sound and also a bit more hp & torque
• Ducati billet aluminium tank cap
• Ducati billet aluminium number plate holder (tail tidy)
• Ducati led turn indicators (front and back)
• Evotech crash protectors

Still on order: Ducati handlebar rearview mirrors ...

Hi @DucDirk and @Sigmund
As a new (but not yet received Scrambler 1100 Dark Pro) owner I would like you to ask the following; from pictures it seems that you both opted for a different bar handle mod. The one from Sigmund is more flat than the one from Ducdirk?
Both are Ducati original? Any OEM number(s)?
Since this will be my first to execute mod on the Scrambler I appreciate your input,
Greets from Scram1100

 

Looking great! The mirrors will tie it all together for sure.

I got the led rears but went NRC for the front. I’ll post up some pics of once I make some progress.

 

Ok, so I at least installed one part today and finished prepping another. I might wait to do the fairing for when I do my blinkers cause I'm not sure I want to tackle taking the front headlight off myself (I am NOT mechanically inclined haha).

i am very curious to see the result with these fairings. Personally I am considering these carbon fibre ones :

Great look!

 

Hey All - picked up a Tribute Pro 3 weeks back, just got my first set of mods done (drag bars, heated grips, CRG bar ends). Have a couple other parts on order, and plans for maybe a few more bits and bobs - mostly excited to just put some miles on this thing. This is replacing an R NINE T, and is actually my second Scrambler 1100. Had a brief stint on a sport pro, which I loved. Aside from the suspension (which is actually quite decent I've found), I think I like this one better!

Anyhow, just popping in to say hi. Looking forward to all the great posts and such on here. Cheers!

-Tom

Hey Tom...and all others,
I ride a 2018 1100 Sport, and yesterday I've sat on an Italia Independent that uses drag bars similar to the 1100 Sport Pro. I like that position, feels more comfortable to me, but I recognize we're on a smaller frame/bike.
Question: since you and others here had the chance to experience both handlebar styles, on the 1100, how does that affect your position on the bike, and the ride feel?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Gio

 

Hey Gio - I love it! I actually didn't mind the standard bars that came on the tribute pro for the first month I had the bike. The drag bars are just a bit further forward but I don't find them too aggressive. Having had a thruxton with the stock clip-ons, I couldn't ride that bike for more than 2-3 hours at a time before being miserable. One thing I like is if I get further back on the seat they can feel a bit more aggresive when I'm hitting the twisties. If I want to be more upright, I can just sit closer to the tank and it's pretty close to stock then.

I've done a few 4-5 hour rides on these without breaking a sweat, bonus that I love the looks of them so much better. Highly recommend them if you want a slightly more forward position and like the look. If you can, maybe find a dealer with a sport pro in stock and take it for a spin.

 

One small update - ordered the black low seat. It's on backorder so might be a minute before it comes in. Half contemplating to have it custom covered to make it more unique. Pretty much all my parts are in, now just need to get through break in so I can get them all done. Stay tuned!

 

Custom seats rule!

Not sure what the scene is like in the US but there are some great seat upholsterers in the UK!

 

Thank you, Tom.
Feedback very appreciated. I'll see if I can find one to play with.
BTW, side mirrors right side up are more functional, other way around seem to be useless.
Gio

 

Agree completely, the bar end mirrors on my sport pro looked better upside down but visibility was rubbish so swapped them to right side up again!

 

Seat came in! Love it so far

 

What’s next : tail tidy?

 

Subtle change but suits the bike really well

 

Finally got my break in service done and parts installed! Love everything!

What brake pads did you go with?

 

This thread has been a great read. Definitely getting drag bars now.

 

Def my fav mod on the bike. Highly recommended if you like the look!

I got away from plastic dip years ago. It is less durable than wrap. Anything is a better option.
