Looks epic bro 😍🔥🙌🏼 #DutchWesp

DutchWesp Thanks mate. Since that day many things have changed. And now its dusty as fuck. :-(((

[@renatojlopes]

Thank you very much for this. Good to know there are some options for the suspension.

[@NoPain666]

Renato Lopes Meanwhile there are some options. I would always go for a dedicated product for the XDS. To be on the safe side.

[@renatojlopes]

Martin Ganglberger yes... You are right. For me the Ohlins would be the only option. Thanks for your reply.

[@batavusfietsbel]

Yes! I just bought it too. Wondering if it really gonna make a big difference, especially where I have lowered the front (1cm) and raised the rear. Also running with the high seat, mid controls and smaller / flatter handlebar.

[@SAVAGE87able]

Very well done!

[@travisb8479]

Awesome build. Can you please drop a link for the mirrors or what make/model they are? Thank you. Also, did you paint the radiator side covers and headlight shroud or are they aftermarket?

[@NoPain666]

VanillaGorilla84 Rizoma Eccentrico. I painted the headlight and radiator covers. Black. Glossy. Meanwhile I bought the glossy headlight cover from Ilmberger. instagram.com/p/B5TDH9hHi3Q/?igshid=t93hcabv1056

Awesome. Looks like you did the evotech radiator guards. Where did you get the carbon front and rear mudguards? Was the RS gas cap mod/install pretty straight forward / easy? How about the rizoma fairing - does it require mod to the bar caps? Does it make a big difference in airflow while riding?

[@NoPain666]

Thanks. Yep, evotech radiator guards. All carbon parts are from Ilmberger Carbonparts. www.ilmberger-carbon.de RS gas cap was easy, but don't drop the screws into the tank. Rizoma looks great, no mods necessary, all parts included, but it's only style. No function, no air protection.

[@grgman2955]

Martin Ganglberger thanks for the info. Looks like a custom seat also - is that the Ducati premium seat or something different?

[@NoPain666]

It's the Premium.

[@strayorbermejo5128]

Nice bike, where did you buy the front wheel axle protector?

[@NoPain666]

It‘s from Ducati Performance. Bought it at the dealer.

[@strayorbermejo5128]

@@NoPain666 Wow... I can't find it anywhere.

[@ra2627]

Hello Martin, your XDS looks super clean! All tastefully done right!! How was the install of the carbon radiator covers? Was it fairly simple?

[@NoPain666]

Easy enough to do it yourself... but not sooo simple. You'll need a tiny/very small ratchet tool and the instructions of EVOTECH. These make absolutely clear what to do.

[@carlrobinson2338]

Did you have to do any customizing to get the Ohlins to fit?

[@NoPain666]

aaron parks No, this suspension is exclusively built for the XDS and has a spring according to your weight. Send me an email to [e-mail] and I will send you the Öhlins instructions.

[@B0BLAW]

@@NoPain666 What is the name of this Öhlins model?

[@NoPain666]

B0BLAW DU726, but after more rides I recognized that I had to adjust it internally. It was too hard for my weight.

[@B0BLAW]

@@NoPain666 thanks.

[@lambmendi9396]

My XD using the original Sachs rears suspension. I see there is Soft and Hard setting on the suspension. What is the correct setting to use. And how much is the Ohlins rear suspension cost?

[@NoPain666]

Lamb Mendi Its only the spring preload and some minor change in setting. If the spring is too soft or too hard, then it doesn‘t help. The oem spring is progressive by the way. So there is also only a minor range where the suspension works appropriately. I would go for the Oehlins or the Wilbers.

[@lambmendi9396]

@@NoPain666 thanks for the reply

[@tph122951]

Awesome that you got the Ohlins, They told me it was 6months out! Has the new shock transformed the ride and have you done anything to the front forks? I will email you for the instructions as well. Thanks

[@bikeboard]

Hi Todd, it is available since January 2018 and I waited around 4 weeks. You can order it with yellow or with a black spring according to your weight. Should be available at your local Öhlins distributor. It changed the ride a lot, but to be honest I didn't ride much since the upgrade, because of wet roads and lots of snow. It is more sporty than the OEM suspension, but it doesn't bottom out at all, so you don't have to increase the preload. I will visit a suspension specialist in a few weeks to make a perfect setup with the fork. It is ok, as it is, but I think the fork needs a different setup.

[@tph122951]

How are you liking your rear Ohlins now that you have had it a while? Also would you please tell me your rider weight and the spring rate that Ohlins chose for you? Thanks

[@ozzie444]

@@tph122951 The black spring is supposed to be good for riders up to 180 lbs.
