It is if you have a red Icon
Your right, I don't think the Scrambler will lend itself to bigger screens. Plus there is always a trade off with excessive noise. The Ducati screen should have been fitted standard to them all (light smoke) which would have blended in the awful cable routing.It is if you have a red Icon
Yes the high bars do make you sit like a sail, it's difficult though as for me they put me in a good position and I'm not sure that lower bars would put a bit more pressure on my wrists - some people have changed the bars though so would be interesting to hear if their wind resistance is lower. Trouble is the Scrambler doesn't really lend itself to any sizeable screen which might make a difference, I've had smallish screens on my previous two bikes which did keep the wind off my body but aimed it at my head
Aye, I think we're all suckers really. The fitting of the screen at production stage wouldn't bump the price up by much, they then could have sold to many of us the graphics to suit the individual bike at £50 instead of a few at £90Thing is , it would have put the price of the bike up
And they know we're going to be buying all the bits/accessories , after all they are in business to make money, I think they make more money out of accessories/clothing etc than they make out of bikes,
Well they do out of me
I didn't really like the bars when I saw them, a bit too apey. Now that I've ridden it I think the position is quite good for me. So, I have a set of risers and fat bars for a Diavel spare and I'll try them, with the risers being higher and the bars lower maybe the change of height won't be so different.
I'm working on other stuff at the moment but have had a wee look. In the middle of making a tail-tidy with the No. plate lamp under the tail as I don't like the others with it sticking out/up.
I'm waiting on a classic as well, what time frame did they give you?, Indy Ducati told me early May, hope its correct.....getting anxious
I have one at my dealers awaiting the bike
The Clock? is that the same unit that I know as the speedometer/odometer/clock or speedo as we say in the states?
Aye, all that here too, and the act of turning the mileage back to increase value known as is clocking.
Hi, I've just fitted a set of Renthal cross brace bars, as I couldn't be bothered to wait for Ducati to get there fingers out & get their set to the dealers grrrr! They took around an hour & half to fit & cost £45 & are an improvement on the originals as your upper body is canted further forward & arms lower I feel lot more comfortable. Fitting is quite straight forward but a couple of things to be aware of, make sure there is enough room to fit the controls on the new bars as some are a bit tight on space. Second you will have to remove the locating pins on the dip & starter switch assemblies & also the throttle, using a round file, as these locate in holes on the original bars, I didn't want to drill the Renthals as I was worried about weakening them, it all went back together ok & worked perfectly. I also lubed the throttle as the drum was dry. If you have a job removing the left hand grip soak it in a jug of boiling water for 5 mins & it'll be easier to remove, also makes it easier to put it on the new bars. If you feel ok about drilling the 3 holes on the new bars then it'd be a staight forward enough job, but you would have to get them close to the final position you want before drilling. Oh, one final thing the original bar ends won't fit as the internal diameter on the renthals is smaller than the originals (12mm) I just used a couple of black plastic bungs which look fine.
