I loved the side corse stripes since I saw them on the Pikes Peak Multi. They of course look great on the new 2015 SP HM, so I set my mind on trying them on my 1st gen hyper.
Did not want to paint the original side fairings, so I bought a carbon fiber couple. You can only tell they are CF if you look from the top.
Side stripes seemed to flow towards the tail, so I decided to extend the painting to the tail wing also.
Bought a used subframe on eBay and painted it red.
I like carbon fiber fork guards but prefer the way the red ones look.
It does little protecting as it is. Lusuardi provides a CF mudguard that can be installed with it, but I didn't like the way it looked so I sticked with a minimalistic approach.
Here is the official picture of the 2008 1100s compared to my hyper.
Paint is the most notorious mod (tank, fork guards, tail wing, rear subframe and rearsets).
Other noticeable mods in this picture are:
- Chopped and cored exhaust
- CF exhaust valve cover (servo has been removed with race ECU but the tube with open valve is still there)
- Lusuardi racing license plate holder
- LED turnlights (noticeable because they are no longer visible form the side)
- OEM Foot peg sliders
- CF tank cover
- CF front fairing cover above headlight (hard to perceive from this shot. Have just placed it this weekend)
- SC Project oil cooler
- Streetfighter clutch cover
- Ducati Performance enduro handguards and mirrors
Nice comparison! It definitely puts the work that you've accomplished into perspective.
I like the shortened exhaust and the absence of a license plate hanging off the tail go hand in hand. The combination accentuates the rear tire and gives it an even more compact look. The style sort of reminds me of the new MV Agusta Dragster.

So, I got the bike back from my dealer with an "update." The bike now stalls frequently. If you pull in the clutch when the revs are above say 4-5k the engine just stalls. The only way to keep it stalling coming to a light is to let the revs drop really low before you pull in the clutch...
Hey guys!
I usually get a new bike every year but this past year, I held off as nothing really interested me. I stick to pretty much a naked standard and have tried quite a few different machines.
Back in 2016 I had a Multistrada that I adored but I ended up selling because it cooked my...
So just when I was telling how great my bike has been after 24k miles, starting nightmare “starts” 🙄
I just change starter, spark plugs and upgraded to the motolectric copper cables, but still has that clanking horrible noise and is like crying for help to start.
I‘m thinking, starting clutch...
