What’s up guys? I’d go with my usual snappy introduction or technical babble, but what’s the point? Watch the video. ‘Nuff said.

I want one!

In the process of swapping out the brake lines for the Street Triple, we were sent a Rizoma brake fluid reservoir to swap out for the stock one. In a world filled with plastic canisters covered with team favorite sweat bands, the well machined polished back metal of the Rizoma is a classy accessory for any motorcyclist that’s taken the effort (and money) to make their bike stand out from the crowd.

The installation is as simple as it looks on the video and can be done in about two minutes, if you don’t include the time and patience needed to bleed the brakes. For an additional 39 Euro, you can get a fancy adjustable bracket for looks sharp but the simple one provided is adequate enough. I checked out their web site, and they have enough variation in size and color to match almost any bike, but for those of you hunting for “Kawasaki Green,” you may have to go with the neutral silver until Rizoma decides to start catering to your crowd.

Today we are installing a TriboSeat seat cover on our Daytona 675. Because this bike is so wicked fast, we often have passengers complaining about “almost sliding off the seat.”

I decided to try out a TriboSeat seat cover to get them a bit more grip. TriboSeat designs these seat covers for many types of bikes. The basic premise of this is to have more grip on the surface of the seat for your passenger’s bottom. That way, they don’t slide around as much while riding, thus giving them more security and control.

To install all you have to do is take off the passenger seat by unbolting it from the rear of the motorcycle. Then you loosen the two bolts holding the strap.

Once it’s on there, tie the end strings into a knot underneath and tuck in the edges so the cover stays flat on top. This instructions should show you an example of this. Then, put the strap back over the top portion of the TriboSeat seat cover to help keep it in place. Make sure you line it up to it for a flush look. Pull all the ends tight and tuck them under the passenger seat as you slide it back on to the rear of the bike.

Make sure it’s on tight and reattach the bolts holding the strap and seat on. Your passenger should be good to go after this. I am going to try it out as soon as I can find someone who wants to ride with me. Any takers? Ladies?

See ya next time!

Hey guys! The good folks over at Clear Alternatives sent us this unit for the Daytona 675 for review. But, since I mostly ride the Street Triple, and the Daytona is most likely bound for the track in the future, we’re going to install it on the Street Triple. This is an integrated turn signal smoked taillight. So, I am going to kick it over to visiting ex-racer Gary Fackler for the installation process!

So, as you saw in the video, we went against installing the flasher relays. It looked fine without them. Very cool product. We were able to get rid of the stock turn signals and free up some room in the back to properly show off those exhaust cans! Till next time guys, be sure to check out Clear Alternatives!

Although it took a few attempts to get the rearsets on to the 848, I’m pretty happy with the final install. For a rider with a longer inseam (32″), the new riding position lets you put your legs far enough behind from where the stock sets intended to feel comfortable hunched over the bike at optimal speeds.

Unfortunately, due to our custom exhaust, the right side rearset leaves little room to configure the placement bracket without scuffing the pipes. This may not be a problem for other Ducati riders, but worth considering. In the future, to avoid this problem, Gas-Cap-Dude may want to offer a longer bolt and more spacers in the box. There is a little wiggle in the pedals but the play is negligible and hardly noticeable when you’ve got the bike going. As I said, I like ‘em and hope we keep them strapped on for long enough to maybe get the Ducati out where it belongs, the track.
