I know some of the folks on this board may be fed up with me moaning about how my S4 is not as nice as my M750,

well it is now,

a couple of months ago I spoke to Neil Spalding at Sigma who build race Ducatis, he told me that the best mod to transform the S4 handling is to fit a set of superbike bars. Then do any other suspension mods afterwards.
Oh boy! was he right.

I sourced a set of aftermarket top yokes here in Thailand from Japan and a set of Yoshimura Alloy superbike bars and risers, price all in £140.00 fitted ,they look great but the real payoff is handling and comfort much improved, less vibration, sharper turns better balance.It has transformed this S4 .

If I had sourced these bits in UK would have cost £250.00

I am still messing with the termis to get the sound ,

no headlight switch ?

the bike came from Japan , I think they must have the same headlight on all the time law, but Thailand has it too,
I may source a European left hand bar switch some time with lights on/off but it is not a priority.
