My Top Accessories for the Ducati Multistrada - Must have... motovlog

[@903lew]

Looks like what I’d do if I had the same bike. Maybe I’d like a higher seat and a top box. I really like the look of the SW Motech DUSC-boxes so you can have one box to use as top box when in town and as a pannier while touring with a duffle on the back. Well set up!

[@PezRaider]

Thanks for the Zumo Lock info. I ordered two.

[@IdealBike]

Very comprehensive video accessory review, it's all that we need to know when it comes to the Ducati Multistrada. Thank you!

[@spokewanderer]

Thank You Arthur for the kind words and support!!!!

[@drivehigh02]

I am buying a used 2018 Multistrada 950 soon. This channel has great content on user experience of this bike. Thanks a lot Nicolai.

[@ljr1200]

Just picked up a new 2021 950s and really appreciate your videos and review of the bike-- there doesnt seem to be a lot of them. Certainly interested in hearing more about your experience.

[@spokewanderer]

Thank You! I am working currently on a update video on my Top Accessories. Will be interesting and up to date!

[@matiasz9436]

Thanks for the video, is pretty good with a lot of useful information. From Buenos Aires, my best!

[@gastonluken2847]

Hello Nicola. Thanks for the informative video. Can you please share the brand of the crash bar that protects the frame/fairing and engine guard?

[@spokewanderer]

Hey! This are the original Crash Bars that come with the Enduro Pack. By the way, later on today there will be an Updated Video on my channel on accessories and gadgets.

[@kevinschafer8399]

What footpegs do you have on your MS950S - I cant seem to see a brand name on the video, thanks

[@mojosdad68]

Thanks for posting this. I’m looking at accessories for my MTS 950. Care to talk about your rear rack and why you chose it? I’ve looked at the Dynamic and Ducati (built by Touratech, apparently).

[@spokewanderer]

Hi!!!! Yes I will make a video about it along with the different luggage that I have for the MTS! Stay safe!!!!

[@SileX406coup]

Was about to ask the same 😇 Thinking about building one by myself, but I am curious how they realized the mounting brakets.

[@spokewanderer]

@@SileX406coupHi Silex by beginning of next week I will post the detailed laguage video! There you will get all the details, as well the pros & cons and certainly what I would do different! Safe rides!!!!

Hi Nicola Great review, I’m looking to purchase a V2S . I’m considering the accessories I want This video helps Regards Gary (Australia)

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Gary! Thank You! Currently I am working on a updated version (2 years after). Will be out by next week. Safe rides!

[@garywingfield2770]

@@spokewanderer look forward to your next review, I’m picking up my new multistrada v2s on Saturday

[@mact909]

sir can you send me a vid how did you replace/remove the rear signal lights?

[@spokewanderer]

Hi MacT! Unfortunately not at the moment, as my bike is on a different continent! And most likely I will have it only by beginning of April arriving. To install they are basically plug and play. You need to remove the plastic part below and you have access. Tight space thought! Oh and you need to order the Rizoma adapter plates, some small plastic parts that keep them in place of the originals. Hope that helps. Safe Rides!

[@GuatePhil]

Very useful info. Many thanks!

[@spokewanderer]

Glad you liked it!

[@lpete531]

What type of GPM mount did you install? And how about a review of your riding gear, would be interested in that.

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Carl! At the moment I have the original Ducati Mount installed. I have tried also other options and as mentioned I will make a more in depth review about the Zumo XT and different mounts. Nice suggestion regarding my riding gear. I will make a video about it! Stay safe!!!

[@mact909]

what’s your rear signals? can you send link? also your topbox bracket sir

[@spokewanderer]

Hi MacT! The indicators are from Rizoma and it's the Vision model. Just check their website. The rack is from SW Motech the street rack. Regarding the indicators, Ducati has since last year also sequencial indicators. A bit cheaper that the Rizoma once. Worth to check with your Ducati dealer! Safe Rides!

[@barryclarkson1745]

Brilliant video, now too long, no waffle and I now know exactly what accessories i want for my bike. Thank you.

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Barry! Thank you for your feedback! Glad it was helpful for you!!! Safe rides!!!

[@logganratha2778]

What about the wide foot peg ?

[@nrhgunner5]

Hi. Great video tku. What other advantages are u seeing with the risers pls?

[@spokewanderer]

Hi and Thank you! Regarding the bar risers, I feel better comfort in my Arms and upper body on long Rides and certainly when riding standing more control and also comfort if you are above 180cm / 6'. Safe Rides!

[@bobbymerrill7095]

Great channel Nicola, tons of useful information! I was wondering if you needed to modify the cables at all to use bar risers? Thank you!

[@spokewanderer]

No, for 30mm it's no issues at all. For the ROX Speed Fx you have to thank the cables out of the clip (looks like a hook) that is in the center down by the handle bars. Just if you get the handlebars to close to you there will be tension in the cables when usin the ROX with 2 inches!!! 30mm no issues at all. Safe rides!!!

[@mandrake71151]

Nice video, tons of useful Info! Just wantwd to know where did you get the brake pedal extender since there is no particular model for the multistrada at the altrider web page. Thanks!!

[@spokewanderer]

Thank you! I think altrider seems to have discontinued the brake pedal extender. I have seen lately that SW Motech has also one available. Check on the SW Motech website, there you should find it.

[@andrewgray8126]

Thank you for the excellent review, I have just subscribed. I just purchased the V2s so now want to start adding some crash protection. Can I please ask what the name/brand of the rubber things you have on the ends of the wheel hubs? I won't be going off road but I do want to protect the bike incase I drop it, do you think Engine crash bars and the Barkbusters Hand guards will be enough or are there other spots that will hit the ground as well? Thank you so much.

[@spokewanderer]

Regarding the fork and swing arm protectors they are from R&G Racing. Other brands available. Crash bars might be just for cosmetics, but you never know. Barkbusters, for sure will protect the plastic handguards from braking. Maybe consider a engine case slider. But keep in mind, anything that you add will also add weight. I hope this info helps, even my reply is very delayed! Sorry for that!

[@kindajal]

for the rox risers, did you have to adjust or unclip any cables? are the length enough?

[@spokewanderer]

Yes I had to unclip one of the cables in the front. After that no issues at all.

[@garrygerke5374]

Thanks for sharing, what size rox bar risers have you got ? And did you need to alter any cables or anything ?

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Garry! I got the 2 inch rox pivoting risers. And No, i did not have to change any cables. Just loosen some of the clamps and there is a clip where the cables have to get out too.

[@edwinbarahona303]

Nice video. I have the 950S

[@spokewanderer]

Thank you!!! The 950S is great! Safe Rides!!!!

[@ancheno2890]

I ditched the bike on the left and right sides at the BMW Motorrad off road level 1 training. The Hepco&Becker handle protectors saved the plastics, but now I have to scrap them. They deformed a lot and I cannot lock the handle bar due to the long connection to the centre plate of the handle bar. The PVD cover cracked at the welded joints and the steel began to rust immediately. I have some mixed feelings: I was not expecting them to be "single use", so the 150€ price tag was not worth it, I guess. I will definitely try the barkbusters. Less stylish to my taste. But they have their own connection to the outside of the handle bar. I kind of dislike the Ducati original system with the bronze(?) sleeve. Every time I ditch the bike, it slides out, deforms, I break/bend the screw and eventually whatever metal protector is installed will follow and deform, touching the plastics (I also tried the short protectors you mention by Ducabike, you can find them everywhere in the internet). If you lean the bike on the right side, does the rear brake lever touch the ground? I already bent mine, even with the crash bars installed (I have the Heed). I kind of like the new "bent" config, it is more comfortable than the original unusable position of the pedal. I have the impression that there is no real market for off road focused accessories and the available aftermarket parts are way overpriced and not super functional (e.g. CNC racing parts). I feel like they are more for the style than the practical use. Just my opinion, of course. Cheers.

[@spokewanderer]

Thanks for sharing! Well, if the bike falls there is always the possibility that something breaks. Too many factors are playing a role there! There is no perfect protection. All may have flaw's. If you have the 950s the hand guards from Evotech might fit. They lol also awesome. Safe Rides!!!!

[@haveaseatplease]

Hi Nicola, thank you for the great content for those who are interested in purchasing a Multistrada 950 (and everybody else of course). How do you experience the seating position and especially the distance between the foot pegs and the seat during long touring travels?

[@spokewanderer]

Hello and Thank's for your comment!!!!!! That is a very good point! The way my 950 is setup for me is just perfect. Although it wasn't always like it! 😊 I will make next week a video on this subject. So stay tuned...

[@nrhgunner5]

HI. great vid. Do u find the risers help more when u r sitting or standing?

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Gunner! Absolutely yes, they do! Especially if you are over 180cm (6') then it is a massive improvement. Safe Rides!

[@rajeshbashyam5650]

Very informative . thanks . What windshield make are you using . Is it stock or some other brand . will help me decide to buy if non stock. Thank you.,

[@spokewanderer]

I have manly the Touratech windshield on that protects you very well. I also have the Puig Sport windscreen and it works well too! Certainly you have more wind noise with the Puig as it is short, but no issues with buffering. Oh and I use screen spacers from Iconic Parts and trying the Palmer Products screen adapter at the moment. Soon a video about the Palmer and Puig will follow. About the Touratech you will find a video on my channel! Safe rides!!!!

[@zomoto1390]

Hi, awesome review! Is the touratech crash bar really a bit off center? I dropped my bike the other day and scratched up the bars on the left side. Upon further inspection, the left bars seem to be a bit closer to the fairing compared to the right. Now I'm not sure if it has always been like that or the drop pushed the bar inward a bit.

[@spokewanderer]

Hi Enzo! Thank you! Actually the crash bar should be centered. When I dropped the bike, my barbusters took the beating. Check on the mounting in front of the radiator if there something is bent. Safe Rides!!!!

[@Eds_PanAm]

enjoyed the video, I also think the brake lever is way to small, which alt-rider brake lever did you get?

[@spokewanderer]

It's called AltRider DualControl Brake System Ducati Multistrada 950 / 1200 / S 2010-2021 Check on Google and you should find it! Safe rides!!!!!

[@Eds_PanAm]

[@woodperfekt]

Are those accessories compatible with Multistrada V2S ?

[@spokewanderer]

You need to check with the manufacturer if your model is in the list. Some mounting points might be different.

[@anninsacredsounds3032]

Lovely video nice humble man and very likeable and trusting opinions I would maybe look at a different background though not the most interesting for us country road bikers 😊👍🏻

[@brocktimothy7142]

Hey man! love the videos, i wanted to ask you, did you have to get a wire extension kit for your handlebar risers? i just purchased a V2S Multistrada and i would like to get at least a two inch riser kit for it.

[@joshjefferson2360]

Im also wondering the same. I bought a set of the same rox risers and they didn't seem to work without extending the cables and wires. Was there something I missed? Or did you extend your's Nicola? I have plenty of experience in this area of labor, but always find new designs on new bikes. It seems each bike has its own set of secrets when it comes to these little mods.

[@spokewanderer]

No I didn't extend my cables! There is somewhere down in the center a cable tie, just loosen it and it works, this is on the standard 950! Not sure about the new V2S. Best you check with your trusted mechanic!

Each to their own I suppose but to me at least you have made a good looking bike into an ugly one. But I suppose you must be doing a lot of off roading to need all of that stuff. Did you consider another bike before buying this one?

[@spokewanderer]

LOL - well it's all point of view! Yeah I was considering another bike, but release date was 1 year after I bought my baby. Still I love my 950. Well, yes I like doing gravel and forest roads - lots of fun! Real off roading as we all know is not that good with the 950. Safe rides!!!!

[@opmike343]

There may be something going on with your video description/tags. You have some great content, and NONE of your videos are coming up for me when I've been searching for 950 videos.

Thank you Adam! Yes, background could have been better. Icy roads didn't allow for a different scenery on the day I was filming. Safe Rides! 🙏
