Classic fucking UPS. Delivered another horribly damaged package. Good thing it’s just my saddle bags

 

Changed out the front brake pads and fluid today, and took it to my favorite local parking lot to bed the pads and do some emergency braking maneuvers.
All good!

 

Bags are in. They’re a lot smaller than I was expecting. But I actually like them on the bike. Not bad. But speed kings didn’t include the rain covers dammit!
Edit: I found the covers

 

I wouldn't worry about the ABS...I turn it off on trails when I remember but 9/10x I forget and it makes zero difference - leave it on. The booster plug isn't worth it in my opinion - you get used to the snappy throttle. and you're right on fender elim and skid plate are a must. I have the multistrada pegs they're great. old pic below missing some mods I think but you can see the pegs

 

Thanks for the pics of the multistrada pegs. Can I just order them at the dealer?

Another thing that is different.. I think I have an electronic throttle? There is just alot of play, before it actually accelerates. Like a 1/8 turn. Ill have to get a better picture.
And mine has a hydraulic clutch. Its so nice compared to the Harley

 

Those don’t look to bad for throw overs. If it was not such a pain in the ass (I have an anti theft bolt) on my La Pier seat I would get that setup for my Dyna WG for weekend runs.

 

Ya I’m happy with the look. wel see if I keep them on full time or not. I have a security screw for my seat as well but i keep the tool with the bike lol

 

I can fit my revit eclipse jacket in one bag

 

@J_Anthony_ @uhplifted whats the consensus with knockoff fairings? Granted, mine will be much smaller than yours..

Pain in the fucking ass to install. 100% fine after. However, if mine ever fails, I will be ponying up the cash for a legit Memphis shades.

 

I think I ordered from whatever the big oem parts dealer is online - Omaha Ducati maybe??? Its 4 skews...left peg, left rubber, right peg, & right rubber.

 

edit - just checked email - yes Omaha - and always search for a reddit discount!

 

It’s a hard pass for me. I just got my Memphis fairing today. It looks excellent.
And from what I’ve seen. Install is a breeeeeze

Bitch boi @uhplifted went China knockoff ... and he said it was a pain in the ass to install. And there might of been some chopping to get it flush.



my two cents ... put quality on your bike. You paid a lot of $ for it. Why trash it with shitty products

 

Maybe one day you’ll actually meet up and go for a ride with me and we can compare fairings and see how different the china special is

 

i should have done that for my CW exhaust. Couldnt find a discount anywhere. Maybe they just dont do discounts that often.

 

I actually just quit my job. So..... if you want to see me pop a wheelie . I can show you how to ride your Harley

 

maybe one day you will actually get a proper license plate for that hog

 

Fuck a license plate!

I sent my title and paperwork to the DMV a month ago. You just reminded me to try and call them today though and ask what the fucks going on

 

LOLOLOL. To speak with a DMV agent is over a TWO HOUR wait. I guess I’ll never get my license plates and registration

 

my license is expired .

whatever.

just roll with it
