[franz71]

Anyone tried the multi on the track? Heard its pretty decent! I would like to give it a try next year

 

Not me.....but I am sure it is pretty ok...won;t be fantastic but it should be ok. It's a jack of all trades ....the rest u know la

[franz71]

sorry man havent gone there yet....cannot suggest anything to ya.....

[jemmo]

no prob, read that supersprox and did not too bad. I think i'll try the 15/42 setup, it may help lessen the surging. I thought of giving the fatduc a try too. But not so soon lah still have lots to play with for now.

 

Unique motor says that it will take 4-6 weeks for the supersprox though. Maybe i will wait a little longer before i pull the trigger.

[franz71]

Ok Jemmo....update us la....good to make this thread more active...we can all learn from each other's experiences

[jemmo]

ok no prob

 

Btw i just bought a wunderlich wind deflector. Going to try it out this weekend for a short trip. Previously i used the stock screen at high speed and my head nearly flew off. I was riding a STX with a nice big screen so i guess i need to re-adjust. I'm currently using the ducati touring screen. It's only angled higher but disappointingly it's the same size as stock. The 2013 screens are much better from what i see. Will update you guys on the deflector after my trip.

[jemmo]

Well, back from my trip. Wind deflector is great, gets the wind off my face and mostly over my head. I could have adjusted it higher, but that would let more wind hit my face, so i didn't bother. I may try that out one day. I really liked it, but ymmv. It was stable and didn't feel like it was falling off. It was much better than stock at above legal speeds However, the item is a tad heavy and at times my whole screen or even the housing holding the screen felt like it was going to break due to the weight. Only over big bumps though. not a big deal i guess.

 

On another note, wow the multi is just awesome.

wah ...what trip? nvr jio!!! LOL Out of curiosty , where did you go?

It's great that you found a screen that works, the problem with a touring screen on the MTS is the balance between total deflection & the bulkiness it entails. I got the MRA screen with the lip, it works better than stock but doesn't totally cut it, but I've adapted after 3 years. I still enjoy the bike very much , IMO the other bikes in similar cat don't quite measure up to the MTS yet.

 

So....a ride shall we go?????

I can't dream of ever taking time off during school holidays. That privilege goes to those with kids only

 

Anyway good la we got 2 dates for the rest to choose from. That's a start....now we only need responses

[Doremi]

Normally my long riders will happen over the weekdays to the weekends. And it will be done on the non school holiday months. This year cant do it because I have used up all my leaves

[jemmo]
