If any of you have installed a DDL starter upgrade here's a tip. Leave the old battery to starter relay wire in place. It goes from the battery to within a few inches of the voltage regulator. I...

I've always wondered why they don't just lop a jug off a 2V motor. Tough, simple, and could easily make competitive horsepower. You could make a heck of a bike with that configuration. Maybe even a...

Ducati hasn't made a bevel since the 80's. The cams do not need to be removed from a 2 valve for maintenance. In fact they're pretty simple to work on. I'd much rather maintain a desmodue than most...

If it ain't rattling very bad (with the clutch disengaged) and it ain't smoking, just put some fresh belts on and check the valve clearance. You'll most likely have plenty of life left. Check for...

It'd be a "hope for the best" with the Chinese HID kits. Some focus better that others I hear. Heat might be an issue in the Elefant's buckets also. If you haven't already upgraded the headlamp...

My 450 went to Australia. Sounds like it's in good hands too. I kind of remember the DIOC. They had a B+W newsletter didn't they? Here's my pachyderm. It has Hepco & Becker crash bars on it...

I'm not sure the 'strada would be that bad off-road. At least with the right tires. The 1200 Ducati is 485 wet while the KTM is 460 dry. If you go a few years old an 1100 Multistrada is only 432 dry,...
