My M821

[rac3r]

It's been a year since I've had it and I'm hoping it's a keeper so I thought I'd post up!

After about 60 miles I got knocked off by one of those Uber type cabs doing a dodgy manoeuvre (my first crash), I was fine but the bike had some light (but expensive) damage. I've yet to be paid out but I have the bike back!

Here it is after I got it back, still missing the tank decals

To do list:
Tail tidy
LED indicators
Maybe some better handlebars

Wish list:
Brembo RCS
Gecko Racing rearsets
Carbon and shiny bits
Suspension (Unlikely to be anytime soon at the prices I've seen :eek:)

In the meantime I need to ride the damn thing as the current mileage is embarrassing :chuckle:

[BobT]

What is the mileage then?

[Albie]

Sorry to hear that. Glad all is well though in the end

[rac3r]

What is the mileage then?

Just run in :mand:

Thanks Albie :thumbsup:

[Jez900ie]

Glad you're OK and the bike is almost fixed too - just in time for summer which is apparently starting soon!

[BobT]

Just run in :mand:

Thanks Albie :thumbsup:

That is decent for a UK winter and after an off. I have the first service to do on the wifes M821 this week. The niece is getting hers done on her M821 in a week.

rac3r have a look at the LED indicators on the panigale, they're a smaller version of the OEM indicators that's on your bike but to my eye a dam sight neater than the DP led indicators and cheaper...:idea:

[BobT]

Just fitted LED indicators to the rear of my Supersport, they were about £20 a set including the fittings, but they are sequential so very noticable. See the video on my blog post and you will see what I mean. They are the same fittings for the wifes M821.

Oooh I like those sequential ones and £20 seems a good deal! Do you mind if I ask where you got them from?

[BobT]

I bought them from ebay China, but you need the little plastic coffin shaped things and a Ducati plug to fit them to the bike. If you want I'll sort out a list of parts and edit the blog post.

[Jez900ie]

Now that would be great!

I'll sort it in the morning if I am not changing the oil on her bike.

Glad the damage was'nt lasting...to you or the bike. Mines a keeper too.....next up for me is the evotech tail tidy, term is we're first although I must admit your exhaust looks the dogs danglees.

Now then.....those indicators, hmmmm:mand:

If you need the ducati-style connectors, you can get them from here:

[BobT]

They are one of the bits that you need, but you can buy a pair wired with leads and female bullet connectors to plug into the indicators so that they are plug and play for those who are less mechanically minded.

Thanks for all the links guys I'll check it out

Added some 'stripes' and you can just about make out the Rizoma bars which I've yet to test. Just need to get some matching tank decals!

Nice look.

[rac3r]

Thanks! Time will tell how well they hold up

I got them from here for anyone that's interested, lots of variations and I think they do custom stuff too
