Modifications?

[gman]

Has anyone modified the rear end of their MTS or does anyone know where I could get it done?

I would like to mount the rear light above the exhaust and into the seat cowling, something will have to be down with the indicators. I would also like to mount the number plate closer to the pipes so that you get a better view of the rear tyre - make sense?

Have a look on MULTISTRADA.NET you will find all sorts of information and discussion for the multistrada.

[gman]

yes I have been on that site and they could not help but a good site for info

[chrisw]

Have you seen this site. They look quite trick with built in indicators.

I'm liking those alot, however do you think
I could get them to fit in the seat cowling?

[chrisw]

Don't know if they would fit.

How about these flexible arrays. Available in red and amber

Two shorties for the indicators and a central long one for the stop/tail (using the dual circuit converter) Cool :eureka:

Wow - with flexible led arrays you could make your bike just like Tron's !!!!!

Reminds me of a previous posting (http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=8292) :lol::lol:

[chrisw]

I must have missed that thread. DISTURBING.

I wonder if they consider our obsession with Ducatis as strange?

Found this on ebay. They're for a CBR but they look trick and would possibly adapt.

Digressing, this may amuse you. (turn up the speakers)

I assume you are thinking of mounting the rear light above the exhausts,and fix it or replace the bit of black plastic trim?
Not a lot of space there.The trim covers the rear portion of the subframe.I guess the led CBR light might just go in.(Did'nt iang fit one of these to a 999?)Also be carefull of routing the wires away from the hot can.
As no-one makes a plate relocator for the MS yet,you will probably have to toddle down to a local engineering shop to get one made.
