That bike is sikkk man!!....the red strip on the the rims, is that paint or one of those wheel decals I seen people use?

 

[Themechanic]

Thanks guys! Its actually powdercoated onto the wheels. Like it came like that. Alot of people get them made tho. My friend makes reflective ones at his sign shop for bikes.

Yeah I seen those reflective ones before...do you know how durable they are tho? I'm getting a Ducati 848 EVO in May and I want to line my rims like yours but
not sure if I should paint or use the decals. I'll try the decals if they are durable enuff...

 

[Themechanic]

Theyre pretty good as long as you use good vinyl. One of my friends had his on for 3 years & then it started to fade

Very nice. CF and red has always been my fav combo. But you need some AP rearsets and this:

i actually had the toce exhaust slip on for 3 weeks & it was stupid loud! Oman it sounds awesome. But i like the two brothers deeper sound alil better. And i deffinitely was thinking about getting the black rear sets.

Yeah the Toce is stupid loud; I cant ride behind my friend's R1; not that he can catch up! lol

I've had nothing but great experience with Attach rearsets; great adjustability and service. Beautiful build. Had a low-side once and all I had to replace was one the peg, very easy to do.

Any other mods in the future besides the rearset? Bikes are the money pit of the universe; as a friend put it: its an accessory platform lol

 

[Themechanic]

Haha i hear yah! I cant think of what else i could do to this thing it pretty much looks perfect! Well just recently did the whole carbon fiber scheme so if anything. I might look into the rearsets and fabricate a cat delete for alil more throatiness & new tires for spring.

 

[nima]

which power commander do you have? do you have the auto tune module or running custom maps? I ask because you talk of cat delete. I removed the cat on mine and it runs throatier; then did a BrenTune and its even more rocket like

 

[Themechanic]

I have the two brothers power comander on autotune. I deleted the flapper & no baffles in the pipes & it still runs fine. Got a cat delete pipe but clamp didnt fit so im gona have to somehow fabricate one.
