So I decided my 2002 Ducati ST4s Needed some mods here and there... soooooo...
Mods I already had done to the duke...or Phase One Mods
So after the Ducati came back from the doctors after being knocked over while parked at work. (Yes an insurance claim) She got a new nose fairing and painted, and she had a quick touch up on the lower fairing and looking very pretty and tidy. So I decided to a few mods. Nothing major to the engine mainly cosmetic. (but she is in need of a bath... and a polish which lets be honest I dislike doing... I am to busy riding her.) So the below cost's does not include any shipping & handling costs and only shows unit cost, and all in NZD including GST. Current Mod Project

Clutch upgrade
The next mod I did was the clutch, I went to Kev at MotoXtreme here in Dunedin (who has been nothing but helpful through-out the insurance claim) and has been my goto shop for all the other issues I have had with the Ducati.
I said to Kev I want a fancy looking clutch he said: "OK, what colour pressure plate?" I answered "Red" and that was basically the conversation. So basically I don't know what brand he is getting... I got and have a carbon fibre clutch cover from CarbonWorks.

GPR Black Furore Mufflers
I ordered some GPR mufflers from Italy. This will give a different sound and give a more modern look on a 17 year old bike. I bought these via an overseas seller on Trademe who used UPS and was also the broker for customs clearance which made the whole process pretty easy and painless.

The one mod I would love to do is get my hands on a Ducati Designs aftermarket headlight system for the ST2/4/s but unfortunately he no longer makes them and they are like hens teeth to get hold of. Being in NZ very very rear I have only seen one ST4 with this mod done to it here in NZ (I am sure there are more) however they are rarer than hens teeth to find.
