    It’s looking good Jamie, but if it was mine that Alfa sticker and the scribble on the tank would have to go. Roll on spring.

    Sounds like a plan although what difference does it make ? Also just rode bike up and down the road and the clutch judder is gone :) which was the only thing annoying me about the bike :)

    Also the white and black cable ties will go once the red ones arrive ;)

    it makes the clutch far lighter.it was one of my first mods on the duke
    and one of the best IMHO.
    I used my bike for work with a lot of heavy traffic so I really noticed the
    difference especially with having shorty pazzo's on it.

    oh one thing to keep an eye on is water inside the front axle
    after a wet ride or wash.
    mine corroded and was replaced under warranty but still was
    a pain in the arse,I had thought that maybe a set of R&G folk
    leg bobbins might have helped keep the water out.

    Cheers for the info mate, will get one after Xmas :) sounds like its worth the ££'s have read a bit about on the sister forum but understand little about it apparently losing two opposing springs can help ? But others get slipping clutches

    New to the Ducati but getting a good idea about them after this big strip down :)

    Just need to ride the thing now !!

    a lot of the time the clutch slip is people not setting them up right.
    very easy working at dukes(especially the fairings).
    have you got the ducati performance ecu fitted or are you running stock?
