I had carbon wheels on my previous bike, smashed both front and back in separate incidents. I've never had a problem previously. Read into that what you will, but I'd not go out of my way to have them again. Also, my tyre fitter always had problems getting the tyre to seat properly with them.
I used a local (York) firm for the coating. Any half decent coater should be able to do a good job. I got a load of bits done at the same time, so the £200 included bars, yoke, risers, side and centre stand (yes, yes @Multirider75!) and the bellypan. One thing to bear in mind, everything is easy to dismantle but the dampers inside the risers are less straightforward. The easiest thing to do would be to spray them, but me being a pedantic twat wanted everything to match. If you do decide to do the risers, drop me a PM and can spare other members having to read it!
I’m not saying it’s better than standard, but I do like it. I’d have left off the wheel decals and the strip on the pipe, but other than that, very nice.
Hmm, it seems that’s not such an uncommon colour scheme chosen by customers from the Unica department. This one came past me, with a mate on a regular MultiStrada, at the approach to the Frejus tunnel through the alps from France to Italy. I noticed it was on Jersey plates. Couldn’t get a photo due to driving but then saw it again at WDW24. It’s certainly very unique. Not really to my liking. I couldn’t help thinking the owner is going to take a massive hit at resale time. Especially this owner as I assume the Ducati market in Jersey is minuscule.
Looks bloody awful, anyways I’m having a test ride on Tuesday at our new Ducati dealership so will ask about a new PP and see if they have the details then.
I reckon there may be minor face lift of the multi v4 range but nothing major.....and won't be just PP. But who knows....not the dealer network until v close to launch so they can talk to couple key customers on the QT....and maybe not even then if just a face lift. ??
