Multistrada sold

It was fun but need to downsize at the tender age of 68 was becoming a struggle to get it into the garage etc. 

New bike in the spring!

Moody

Crash bars in place!

Adding the Spots, crashbars and radiator cover.

Day 2 Ducati 1 me 1

To find the plug that runs the spot lights you have to remove most of the panels, sometimes you can find it by removing just part of the beak.
Not this time had to remove tank cover then undo the bolts holding tank in place!

Warning:
When removing petrol cap, the diagram shows the fuel supply hose sitting at right angles to the cap and also the nipple that it attaches to.
It's not it's about 45 degrees and yep I broke it trying to remove cap and get at the spring clip.
£240 later although the part that snapped is held on  by a couple of screws Ducati a" doesn't" supply it seperate hence a draw!
Looking at many parts pictures online none show it as a seperate order!

I managed to locate it by moving tank up a little and left tethered to another plug, would've never reached it from front!
Very clever Ducati .....not!

Adding a topcase

Was a right faff!
Took hours trying to find the info on what rack system would allow a Givi monokey top case. I want be able to remove the topcase and have a decent rack to use to put camping stuff on etc.
SW Motech came to the rescue at a price mind!
And eventually got it all fitted. And yes it works case comes off easy along with the base plate to leave a good platform with plenty of gaps and places to tie down stuff.

Yer tis

Moving on

Part ex'ing the scrambler for a Multistrada 1200s in artic white.

Bought LED rear light strip it incorporates indicators. Was hoping to do away with rear number plate assembly but there's a ton of metal under it, so need to rethink things.

I have found a picture of a metal plate that bolts to underside of seat frame with a lip on to fix the LED light strip so will probably make one, if I can remove mudguard and brackets, was hoping to retain rear rack would be handy for two up trips for over nighters!

Front indicators will be replaced with small LED'S and headlight I'd like a Bates style but in black !
