- hyperstrada today whatd
Just put Pilot Road 4s. Had to ride to work (all freeway) right after so haven't had chance to break them in and lean a bit, but feeling good. Have hard many good things about them. Looking forward to the weekend.
They're great all around tires. I used to absolutely RAVE about them, but I've since converted to super sport tires. The PR4's will lose their grip once you hit the wear bars and get pretty sketchy. Up until then is damn near the grip of a sport tire though, and I got 6,000 miles out of them.

Fitted Ducati heated grips. Had a similar setup (integrated to display menu, selectable by starter button) on Scrambler and really missed it. With PR4 and the heated grips, Hyper is ready for the winter, well, a puny SF Bay Area winter.

Loving the wheels. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they are cool

Thanks WillMac. The bike definitely gets a ton of attention now. Some ppl love it and some ppl hate it. But I built it this way because I love it.
Just got the AEM Sprocket setup on

Fancy alloy sprocket and no new chain? I'd be afraid of it wearing out too soon.

SF-PCH 1-Stage Rd-Pescadero Rd-84-Skyline-280 N
As the title says. Today I took my white '14 821 Strada south from SF to Stage Rd via the 1. Then headed east to Pescadero where I had lunch before heading north east to Alice's via Pescadero Rd (one of my favs) through redwoods. It was as cold as 47F in some parts. Blew past Alice's without stopping and headed north on 35 to HWY 280 and back home.

This is on my winter todo list. I agree the OEM chain is junk. What setup did you end up going with?

Took the Strada in for the 9K service yesterday. Got to try out my new Aerostich gear and the anti-fog insert in my Shoei 1200 as it was raining for the first 20 miles. The first ten were really bad, narrow lanes and bad pavement. But I just cranked the DSP down to "Urban" and made it to Newport Beach dry, warm, and safely.
I should have made sure that they checked my VIN against the various Technical Service Bulletins before I showed up, as they did not have the improved throttle unit. The tech re-adjusted the clutch cable, which made the first takeoff onto the busy street a bit... exciting. They also did the ECU flash and the CAN-BUS filter.
It took nearly four years to get to 9K, so the expense was not much when you spread it out. I get a discount on parts as I bought the bike there, that helps.
I'm still a satisfied customer.
