Hi all, just got my first Ducati a 09, 1100s, had many other makes over the years but loving the first impressions off the monster.Looking forward to working my way through the forum.
Anybody close to Tamworth?

Cheers Dave.

Welcome aboard, Dave, pictures please!

For posting images, you need to use a photo hosting site.
I use www.postimages.org/signup.

Once you've uploaded your picture, you should be presented with these options...

Click on the blue 'copy' icon next to the 'hotlink for forums' address and paste it into your post.

If you preview the post before submitting it, the picture will appear in the preview if you've done it correctly.

Plenty of mods available for the 1100. What mods has it already had and what do you plan to do?

Some people find the rear Öhlins shock overly sprung and harsh. It has a 130N/mm spring whereas the version Öhlins sells for the 696/796/1100 has a 115N/mm spring as standard. I myself have fitted a 105N/mm to my Evo and the shock is now much more compliant and controlled.

Hi Dave,

Yeah I’m up for that, sorry for the late reply I haven’t been checking the forum.

I should have some time Saturday. I sometimes head to Bikers World for a coffee if that’s of interest?

Cheers

Tim
