Ducati 848 Update & Luimoto Seat Coverwritten by -- June 8th, 2010Filed under: 2008 Ducati 848,Staff Bikes | Comments (0) |
Hey guys, welcome back for another update on our Ducati 848 staffer. We managed to conclude our leaking engine problem by replacing the alternator cover. So far, so good.
However, on the way back from the shop, the left exhaust can blew up and started smoking. I have never encountered anything like this and I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with the engine. Ugh, I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Today, I’ll be tackling something a bit less complicated. To repair and replace our stock 848 seat, the good folks over at Luimoto sent us another one of their Team Italia seat covers, this time with gold trim. I will save the rear cover for later and just install the front one today.
Since we told you all about Luimoto seat covers last time, I won’t bore you with them again. I do want to point out that their products are really of the highest quality. The cut is always spot on. There is enough material to cover your seat, no more, no less.
Be prepared to do some solid stapling though. If you are not that strong, be sure to have a buddy assist you. Trust me, you will be happy you did.
Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out Ducatist for more Ducati fun.
