Members Bike - Gilps' 2005 Ducati S2R 800

**Gilps** · 26 Sep 07, 10:18 AM

Here's my baby, a 2005 S2R. That's the 800CC aircooled.

I've done a bit of work on her and made a few minor modifications:
DP gel comfort seat
Removed the cat with the Marving pipes
Open air box and hi-flo filter
Carbon race Termis, shortened by 4"
JMo tail chop kit. Cut 8" of frame work off the back and lost the tea tray
Rizoma Zero led indicators on the back
Cyclecat rearsets fitted
Removed pillion foot rests
Power Commnader fitted
Nitron custom made shock fitted, purple spring changed for Ohlins one
Showa adjustable forks fitted
Brembo P4 calipers from a 749 fitted
Wavy Braking discs fitted front and rear
Rizoma belt covers fitted
DP mirrors fitted
DP billet side panels fitted

All I've got left to do this winter is hand all my money over to Rizoma for
Bar ends
Throttle grip in ally
Track 1 indicators on the front

then its just the 916 style front mudguard with mesh inserts and she should be finished. Although I quite like the idea of getting the exhaust pipes coated in black ceramic as they tarnish too easily.
Then it'll be finished. Maybe.

So you've done a little work on it then..... looks great, I love the rear end!

**Psychlist** · 27 Sep 07, 10:06 AM

No wonder he's improved in DD as the year's progressed

Nice bike, nice colour too

Just as well, as I hear that's the only bit of the bike you'd ever see if you were to race him.

If only that were true. Most of the DD'ers get to see my rear end at least one during each race, as they lap me.

I have never had a naked bike but I certainly would get one if they looked as good as that..

**Kenoir** · 27 Sep 07, 02:21 PM

I bet you've get a very tatty looking, well thumbed parts and accessories brochure in your house.

Lovely job. I want one now.

Mine looks much better, Darren, but then, it's red...

Well, mud coloured at the moment.

It's looking good Paul - nice mirrors, belt covers and rearsets ( Do you wanna sell them?)

**dakk66** · 27 Sep 07, 06:02 PM

Paivi,
Hasn't the mud washed itself off yet? and why aren't there any pics of your's in your gallery so I can compare her royal redness

Very nice Gilp's

**Tiny30** · 28 Sep 07, 01:33 PM

I can only hope I have done half as much to my S4R in two years....very nice indeed.

**half man, half mole** · 30 Sep 07, 08:27 PM

Bloody marvelous - a credit to you, Sir.
