It's Here! - Kazie's Ducati Multistrada 620

Well I've had the bike for a few months but not been able to get out on it due to so much salt on the roads. Had to hunt around to find a hugger for it having found bare wires under the exhausts, so thought it better to protect them from the crud off the road first, Obviously designed to only be ridden in the sun. Got the hugger and found the screw on the offside doesn't fit and there isn't a hole in the swing arm for the second fixing to go in and may possibly need so heat onit to bend it to stop it snagging (made by Ducati btw)

Also bought a seat cowl and found it rattles like crazy on the front hooks

Also tried to take the seat off to get it scooped slightly and found you have to take the tank off first!! I didn't have this much hassle with my Honda

On the plus side it looks great, once I've modified the seat cowl to stop it moving, got the new Remus exhausts on it and the carbon hugger (hopefully) it will be stunning. Also had a special plate for Christmas ................MY ???? DUC !!

Fantastic news, congratulations Kazie!
I wondered where you'd gone and what happen, but it's great to read the purchase has been made, just need to get some miles on the clock now.... Roll on summer! 8)

Thanks Dan, yes I know. I was hoping to come back on and say I was having a blast, but if I wait for the weather I wouldn't have come back on for months. Decided to get everything kitted out on it first then can just get straight on it without thinking I still need to do stuff. Needlesss to say spent £550 this weekend on hugger, seat cowl, gloves and a lovely Ducati All weather jacket (couldn't resist it

) Got a deal on all the bits and saved about £85 in all so I think that was good enough justification

Hi and isnt it AMAZING what we can JUSTIFY

**Kazie** · 13 Feb 06, 03:04 PM

Hi Rick, it certainly is. If there had been trousers to go with the jacket and a decent set of two piece leathers I would probably have got those too

Once it's all together I'll get some pics
