Tonik Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The tools I linked to are 23 damn dollars. She just spent 1400 bucks for the rear set. Use the right tools for the job. And I bet she switches back and forth for long road trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 You don't make 3 page threads with the right tools. Does hollowing out an allen key turn it into a socket instead? these have horizontal holes in them for a lever bar. Plus you can use them with @2talltim's tool caddy to fix twice as many plumbing issues.

You sexist pig. #WLM Edited October 10, 2017 by 2talltim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tracy Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 You guys crack me up - thanks for all your help. I'll make sure to post some pics once I get them installed since you guys would have better odds at winning the lottery than to see my bike in person - except @kbrok, mostly bc he's my roommate. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Fricken Italians with their subpar instructions... More specifically the lack of instruction on the rear brake set up and how the exhaust attaches to the new rearset. What a P I T A! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the rear master cylinder installed already - it was just a pain to figure out bc the instructions provided and the video online are not great. I've contacted a retailer that carries the rearsets to ask about the exhaust attachment, as well as the Ducati dealer to see if there's just a bolt missing or something. And to think I was worried about that giant bolt and getting it loose --- pshhh that was the easy part since the tool was included. I mean for what I paid, it should include a guy who comes to your house and installs them... and a coupon for a free macchiato at Starbucks to boot.
