OK heres mine,
http://www.1098-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6722&stc=1&d=1188905718
The only mods are the speedy moto pressure plate etc,c/f hugger and the Termi slip ons that ive just put on,got to love that sound!
I would of liked to put the full system on but couldnt justify $4500.
More c/f to come and a tinted screen.
It pulls like a 14 year old school boy and handles like a dream, its also alot more comfortable than i'd imagined it would be.
complaints -condensation in the dash-THATS IT.I"m sure they"ll fix that when i bring it to there attention.
Money well spent, and am very happy with it.
Dave.

Good to hear Dave,
Sure like the open clutch cover set up..it makes a big difference to the looks v's the boring grey OE cover...the tinted screen will finish it off very nice.
You can always get the headers later...but you may lose a little mid range torque...is that correct Ducmon?

To be honest the full system looks the goods, but on the road or even up at Wanneroo it's pretty much a waste. You should gain more top end, a little in the mid, but will feel like it's lost a bit in the bottom. Chuck a 14 tooth on the front and it's all good.
I am a fashion victim myself and have the full system on my 999s, but then again I can't help myself.:cool

Thats pretty much what i thought about the full system and as you said Broms i can always upgrade later.
How many Perth members do we have on the forum?
maybe we should organise a blat one day.

Dave,
Good idea I would be keen if you can arrange it. Not this weekend due to Father's day committments. I don't have my Duc yet, so as long as no one minds me riding an MV. (I can ride a HD with apes if you prefer:shock)
Others who have expressed interest; pnork, Sumfun4me maybe Ducmon:dunno

Hi Guys - yep, up for a ride also (but like most others not on Fathers Day.)
Don't have a ride report as such, but can tell you, this thing is insanely powerful next to my 800SS and I'm still getting used to it.
I too would like to get the full system, but if the 800 doesn't go soon to fund it, then it may have to be the slip-ons. I'm after an open clutch cover & new pressure plate etc too - but not before the exhaust. Currently I've got the DP tinted screen on but that's all.
