Few thoughts on my 1100s

Light on the dash needs to be on in daylight hours. Is this possible?

The Ducati touring seat will help alleviate the nad crushing.

The bar riser from an M1100evo will raise the bars by 20mm and is a direct replacement for the riser on the M1100. This could stretch some of the cables a bit, so proceed with caution. Also it will result in the rear of the riser being reflected in the dash. To prevent that just paint the rear of the riser matt black or cover it with black tape.

What exactly is your issue with the visibility of the dash? I have noticed that when the sun is in certain positions the dash is unreadable. I'm waiting to be stopped for speeding and being able to use that as an excuse.

At 51 I'm only a baby

Well, I'm amazed, I've uncovered a nest of old gits all riding monsters, and I'm not even at the top end.

Had some new Pirellis fitted last week by Baines racing, what a difference from the old squared off set I had. Nothing like a new set of tyres, and Baines were excellent.

Cheers

Excuse you; we're just mature and experienced ;-)

By the way, my Pirelli's are knackered - anyone tried Michelin Pilot Road 4's on their Monster?

Wasn't keen on the Pirelli's myself but am mighty impressed with PR3's.

Will try PR4's next change.

Got the Diablo Rosso 11 on mine, they are good but, not that good, going to try the Diablo Rosso Corsa next

thats sweet as mucker... not fer riding through the forest like..

Suneye,

I just think its a little dark, and there is not enough contrast between the screen colour and the digits when they are on. The digits are very thin too and it's hard to read because of that.

PS Just bid on the risers.

And I'm a baby at 49 eh?

Very nice like the pipe and the "added gold basics"

Starting to see common age theme with M1100/S/EVO
Growing old is compulsory growing up is optional
