Man,, you must live with a cleaning rag in your hand
I like the chrome swing arm, i wouldn't do it but i like it. the only thing about your absolutely perfect looking bike is the seat? I bet it feels great, but it sits up like a old Harley seat in the back.

Other that that, it is absolutely perfect.

 

[Visitor Q]

See now I like the seat.

hehehehe

I guess this is why it's his bike and not ours chakarji, how about it?

Hi,

That's the thing about good quality Aluminium, is it doesn't oxidize. My TL1000R or GSX-R are all polished frames and I only give them an hour or so's polish once a year. It takes no up keep at all. Washes clean and shiney like your bodywork.

Visitor Q... Knew you wouldn't like the polished look

Tru DAT JASON! ,,, i think he should open a ducati parts catalog on wheels, because he has just about everything you could possibly do to a 1098......

Its pretty awsome.....

what kind of seats are those?

Hi,

Sargent Seat... Takes a little while to break in, but certainly spreads the load as they say. More comfortable over a longdistance.

It's hot that I hate the polished look, it's just that too much reminds me of chrome.

I did the wheels on my 600.

It's all what your into I guess...

Jamie,
That looks AWESOME! Gotta get that Seargent seat on my 1098S for sure. Are those DP rear sets? Are they selling the red mirrors yet or did you have them painted?

 

[cronn]

I liked your fuel cap so much I order me one!! Also got the black frame plugs

 

[chakarji]

Jamie

What kind of rear turn signals are those? where do i get them???

Thanks in advance.

When you say “yet” does that mean in the past they have offered these down the road?

Hi,

Thanks for the compliment...

They're out of the same factory, but I'm damned if I'm go to pay DP prices... I try and get most things for free or at least a big discount!

Try...

I painted the mirrors... easy, just with a can and some patience. Came up mint!

I know they sold color version of mirrors for the 916/998 series. Like the 1098, those bikes came with black mirros stock. Thought I saw a post somewhere claiming Ducati was coming out with paint matching mirrors....perhaps I was off.

I really like the look of the painted mirrors as the stock ones in black look like an afterthought, IMO. Considering painting the mirrors for my D16RR as well (different color red than 1098).

What a rip! Ya think Ducati would have just put them on that way from the get go. sigh

Oh well...

hehehe With that said, I would still look into buying them so let me know if you see anything more.

Hi,

Oxford Columbia LED Indicator

Thought they matched the front indicators better. Easy to fit and come with the resistors. Very bright... which is cool!
