When will the Bling stop! Rizoma rear fender and Scotts damper - Ducati.ms

Today I got my Scotts steering damper and the Rizoma rear fender eliminator installed. The damper is awesome, beautifully made, and quite easy to install. Highly recommend it. I've had the Rizoma rear fender for a few months, but it didn't fit the Termi kit bracket. Today I enlisted a couple of the Ferrari techs I work with and they sorted it out. I've installed the DP LED rear turn signals, and the Rizoma has an LED license plate light. It looks nice, far better than stock, but it's a bunch of coin for what it really is. It will look better when I paint the silver pieces black, and I probably should have done that first. Here are some pics:

I don't like too much bling, it makes me go down stairs to the garage all the time just to have another look. Then I don't have time to ride her. Much better to ride up the mountain for a coffee and let others do the drooling

Houston has to be the worst city in the country to own a sport bike, since I'm literally 40 miles away from a decent curve. Hopefully by next weekend I'll find the edge...and not a ditch! At least I'm not cheating by riding figure eights in the Astrodome parking lot!

Infidel, you know how to kick a bloke in the nuts, even if he can't get down

.
May I suggest two easy ways to look good by getting rid of your "Chicken Strips". One is to drop your pressure to about 20lbs. It will feel like shit, cook your tyres and scrub 'em to the edge, you might also CRASH.

The second way is easier and safer, using paddock stands, spin ya wheels and hit 'em with an angle grinder.
