I'd appreciate some feedback.
I'm new to the forum...
Looking to buy a new (2006) Multistrada 1000s DS in Seattle.
Commuter/weekend use.
The package so far:
Ducati brand hard side bags. * Good
Ducati brand touring windscreen. * Good. You should look into a helmet w/good aero qualities and earplugs
Ducati brand comfort seat (gel). * Dont waste your $$ the stocker is fine. If you upgrade get the Seargent brand for like 3 bills. I have the 05 set on mine and good for all day.
Dealer installed Termi (i assume without the full package; only $1,250.00).
* Big waste of $$ for not a lot of gain. I,m sticking with the stocker for alittle while longer. If & when I do it will be the SilMotor
I actually prefer black but will probably go with red for visibility (safety).
The dealer suggested that I consider some kind of "slave" installation to help ease the stiff clutch for commuter use (easier on the front paw).
*The Eviluzione brand I installed. A slight improvement.
An important question: Are the instrument fuel guage issues solved ("when the gas gets low you will not know") on the 2006 models? As well, is the instrument display still subjet to moisture?
The Ducati dealer told of a GPS sold in Europe which comes with wire harness and mounts designed especially for the Multi but not available in the US... *screw the gps, get an Escort radar detector instead your gonna need it more often!
What am I missing? *Hugger. The DP one is worthless in coverage. Get one from
www.streetfightersbydesign.com
*Also get the heated grips.
Well, thats it then, please do offer your thoughts.
