| heya - no picture, i'm afraid - strictly old skool film - i get pics on disc as well, but can't upload them at work - curses!
...anyway, all i can judge it by is that when plate got shredded on monday, i was at lucie's funeral, and there were a few other ducati's (i noted a particulary flash looking yellow one with all the bells and whistles), and the number plate light was, by rule of thumb, about 1/2 inch lower than on any of the other 916/996/998's i saw.
since the bracket itself seemed fine, i'd wondered whether the undertray it was bolted to had warped.
not very scientific i know, but summat needs doing - that's the 3rd time this has happened - erk.
certainly not going to wind on any more preload - i'm a lightweight, and get bounced around quite enough, thank you, but i'm tempted to go at the link rod with spanners and raise that by, ooh, 5mm - that should work out about 15mm increase in ride height, methinks?
any advise muchly appreciated - i've had the bike about 3 years, and apart from softening suspension a bit from previous owners settings i've left well alone, since it has worked fine on road and track. cheers, j  |
