sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !!!!

daym she looks hot!!

are u comfortable with integrated tail lights? i might get brave and go that way some time.

Amazing and sensible modifications Carlitos! Nice to see and bike is looking sexier than the stock one. Now, what about the perfomance upgrades?

Thanks. Will do soon.

These bikes were born for the Canyon rides man. You really get to experience their potential on Canyon rides. Riding in the canyons can be difficult if you dont ride with in your limits and comfort zone. Take it slow at first, there's alway the ride going back on the same route that you can push the bike a lil more once you have gauged the difficulty level. Another factor to keep in mind is road debris and spills. As long as you spot them early and avoid them, the ride will be fun. Remember NEVER to try and catch up with the group ride leader if that means riding outside your comfort zone. If you feel uneasy during the ride, slow down. My buddy who rides the 1000 RR now, wrecked his CBR 600 RR on one of our canyon rides due to this mistake. He wasnt feeling comfortable that day but still rode. Went wide on a dropping elevation sweeping hairpin curve and wrecked. I was right behind him with my bike cranked over on one side when it happened. God knows how I managed to sit up my bike and avoid running him over. Will never forget that day.
Nope I haven't heard of this group man.

To each his own brother.
Thanks

I love it too. Very functional and gets noticed.
Yeah dude. I did the same mod on my R6 as well. The key is to go with a top brand like Custom LED or MotoDynamic. Custom LED is the brightest of all. Both brands are wayyyyy more brighter and feature way more LEDS than stock. Custom LED is slightly expensive compared to MotoDynamic. I went with Motodynamic because of the sequential turn signals function. The R1s tail light being smaller, sequential made more sense.
Thanks
Thanks. Performance mods probably next year man. I want to put on more miles before I look for performance mods. Still trying to learn how to ride a cross plane engine.

Nice mods, excellent write-up & awesome pics.

Carlitos...my man!

That's a real snazzy set of pictures you have there dude. I love the way you have done her up and best of all the LEDs which I reckon look smokin'. I am sorry to hear about your little mishap there, is a good thing you have aero crash protectors now.

Giver her a Two Brothers exhaust system and you I reckon would be just fine.

Have fun

thanx for sharing your experience carlitos..would love to ride there if i ever get a chance in life...& sorry to hear about your small crash...

Thanks man.
Thanks man.
2Bros....probably not man. I hate the look of the 2 bros cans. Will probably stick with Akrapovic or Leo Vince slip ons. The over all use of materials and craftsmanship of Akra, Yoshi and Leo Vince is far better than 2 bros.

You are most welcome.

sweet mods there carlitos........

True that! However I find Akras too mellow for my liking. Leo Vince is right up there in terms of sound management

Right on. Akras are more about performance than sound. 2Bros is all about sound. The best part about the Leo Vince slip ons is that they are designed to work with stock fuel maps. It says so on their website, and I confirmed it with one of their representatives. So there is no need for a PC. That is a good 25-300$ that can be spent some place else.
Just yesterday I heard a cross plane R1 with a full leo vince exhausts, good lord it sounds like an M1. And it was bloody loud.

I think with every performance exhausts you need a remapped ECU designed as per the exhaust's requirement. Then how come, Leo Vince can work with the stock one.??

Just Curious

I suppose that is how they design their slip ons. Leo Vince advertises each of there slip-on exhaust as, "Machine-specific tuned to work with stock fuel settings"
Check the link below.
In the case of a full system, there is no escaping using a Power Commander or Bazzaz and getting the bike tuned to make sure it runs good.

Hi Carlitos,

Congrats on Mighty "R", good upgrade.

I live in Los Angeles and Own 2011 Ducati Monster 796.

Let me know if you ever ride here, there are some amazing Canyons you can ride.

Enthusiast

Thanks man.
Yep, I do intend to ride to CA sometime.
I always plan to ride to Laguna Seca for the race and somehow it never happens. Hopefully in 2012.
AsimB (xbhp member) is somewhere in the bay area and owns a Ducati 1098/1198. Have to meet his as well someday.

I have not met "AsimB", but look forward to meet him when he comes over to LA.

I was looking at some of the modifications you have made to the "R1", it really looks cool, seems like you have invested a lot of Quality Time and Effort

Kudos!!!
