Good evening all!

Finally registered and so trying to get a profile pic of the Monster uploaded by clearly beyond my abilities tonight (may be the Margaritas?).

Suffolk based, 2001 S4 owner.

Plenty of performance parts but seriously dodgy previous owner paint job.

Hopefully ready for an early riding season.

I'll get amongst the forums when I'm more able.

Cheers,

Dan

Welcome! Good bunch here and loads of advice and friendly banter.. Pics- yes, I had same problem .. Photobucket was the answer prescribed for me. Post pics.. We like 'em...

[Darren69]

Welcome fellow S4 owner. Dodgy paint can be easily if not cheaply rectified. You're in the right place though.

[Darren69]

Yes, pics please. Lets see how dodgy is dodgy. :)

[Grumpy]

Welcome aboard and to the dark side!

Re posting images

Use http://postimage.org/

Then click on the "insert image" caption on the post

Easier then setting up an account with photobucket IMO.........

[Darren69]

Or if you have photobucket you can use that, it works fine too.

Hello, hello.

Welcome, you are not the only one struggling with an avatar :thumbsup:

Maybe i just ignored the file failed to upload and it seems to work lol

[Nottsbiker]

Me too, that's why I've only got one Collie in my pic when we've got another two since that was taken :)

[flying_monkey]

Tried both methods of uploading images but failed!

Photobucket starts well but file is 'too large' and cannot resize.

Run out of time so will try again tomorrow.

Yes, but only for a certain amount of time. I noticed some of your pics were missing the other day

[Darren69]

Oh, interesting, which ones? It could be that I've moved them to another folder.

I can't remember mate. I had a quick look last night when I posted but couldn't find them. It was in a thread where someone asked about something and in reply you linked back to an old thread. In that thread you'd posted a couple of pics which where missing.

Given up with the photo for now.

Been distracted by a full Termi kit and problematic rear sets / exhaust hangers.

Why is creating such beauty always so difficult?

High level pipes can be a problem. I assume it is this that is causing problems.

Are you using standard monster rearsets or aftermarket ones? You may need to space them away from the frame to get clearance for high levels. I had exactly the same issue with mine. With 50mm link pipes there isn't enough clearance to get the pipes to clear the rear sets and or swing arm without touching one or the other. I think from memory my DP rearsets have a 50mm and a 25mm spacer and longer bolts and its still a tight squeeze.

I don't have a close up pic, but you may be able to see from this one.

I have gone from high level Termis with random (knackered) aftermarket rear sets to full Termi low levels.

I tried a hanger attachment from eBay that doesn't really work with my rear set / low level combo - hence why I am after some original foot peg /exhaust hanger bracket to try something 'custom'.

I won't be riding 2 up so just need something solid to hang the cans from and now to replace the rear sets.

What belly pan have you got there? I struggled to fit one with an oil cooler?

Cheers,

Dan.

[flying_monkey]

Darren,

What rear sets are you running there?

Do they have exhaust hangers (low level) on them?

Dan

[Darren69]

They are early Ducati Performance ones and yes there is a hole for what I believe would be the rubber bushing for the low level cans.

I just sold some Rizoma rear hangers with pillion pegs just the other week.

I think Wildfire has some the same but without the pillion pegs if you'd prefer to fit rear sets then these would be ideal.
