Hi guys! Paul here today with a nifty new modification on the Ducati Hypermotard. The good folks over at Weiser-Motorrad sent us a pair of their ultra bright ORANGE LED turn signal upgrades to replace the original bulb and reflector assembly.

These LED inserts not only enhance the look of your bike, but also give a brighter, safer and more noticeable light in all weather conditions.

The inserts are sold as a pair and can be installed on either the front or rear of your bike (please check their website here for the compatibility list). If you wish to install the units on both front and rear, please purchase two packets.

This kit is simple and easy to fit in minutes with no need for any modification to the existing wiring or housing. The existing molding remains on your bike and the LED unit replaces the inner chrome housing and bulb.

Check it out!

At $59.99, there really is nothing to stop you from upgrading the look of your stock turn signals. So head on over to Weiser-Motorrad and get yours today. They have applications for nearly all the motorcycles out there!

Hi guys, Paul here with a new modification for the Ducati Hypermotard. As you guys may already know, our Hypermotard started its life out as a 1100 standard version. So, the forks that came with it from the factory are Marzocchi 50mm not-really-adjustable ones. They don’t look too pretty either.

So, today we are going to begin installation of the RAC USD 50mm aftermarket forks the good folks at Marzocchi sent to us. Check out part one of the video.

These forks not only look pretty sweet in all black, they are made of aluminum, have rebound compression external adjusters and weigh only 8.6 kg.

These also come with some optional features, if you pay more, such as magnesium caps and dropouts, and titanium springs.

Well, that’s it for this time.

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out Ducatist for more information.

The oil change. Perhaps the easiest of the DIY jobs, though not necessarily the quickest to perform.

It took some cranking to loosen up the Hypermotard’s oil filter, which had apparently been torqued in well beyond specification (at least, that’s my story). By the time I worked it free you could see I’d actually crushed part of the casing in the struggle.

We had an oil trap set conveniently beneath the bike so I just dropped the filter in, then went ahead and unscrewed the oil plug. It took about twenty minutes for the oil to stop dripping out, after which I put the plug back in, put some oil around the seal of the new filter, put it in, and then poured in a solid 3.5 liters of new oil.

The Hypermotard owner’s guide recommends you run the bike for a couple minutes and then pour in another quarter-liter of oil, so that’s just what we did. Now all we need to do with the old oil is find a pristine estuary or wildlife preserve– er, Jiffy Lube– and our work here is done.

What’s going on guys? Since our highly modified Hypermotard has long since surpassed the S model in terms of exclusivity, we decided that it needs to look the part as well in the wheels. the Hypermotard S model has standard red rim stripes in stock trim.

As it so happens, the good folks over at RatedRParts dot Com, sent us some red stripes all the way from Australia as well. Check out the video.

As you can probably tell from the short video, we feel that you guys have probably seen the installation process too much already, so we just showed what the finished product looks like. Alright guys, stay tuned!

Hey, how is it going guys? So, we have done a lot of work on the Hypermotard as of late. The tank swap, the mirrors, the carbon pieces. However, if you guys recalled, I changed the stock handlebar to a gold Rizoma one that was a bit shorter.

To remedy that, I got a pair of color matched bar ends from Rizoma to install. Check it out!

As you saw in the video, the bar ends allowed me to place part of my hands farther out, thus improving the control of the bike. Not to mention that it looks awesome. I am sure the weights that I inserted as part of the kit will help while riding too. But, that will have to wait till next to to report while i take it out for some spins!

Ride safely guys.
