Doing some customizing to my Zero S
« on: November 13, 2009, 02:13:33 AM »

Hey everyone - I am here with my two local IR's on a sunday ride at the Ducati of Newport Beach.  I did some funky business to my S.  From left to right; TJ (MR for Southern Region), Harlan (Hollywood Electrics), Russ (EDR).

That is a big improvement in looks. The rear fender on the S is really big stock.

Those graphics seem to slim the bike down even more. Excellent job!

Are all the mods cosmetic?

I'm hoping to meet up with the Chicago Zero rep this weekend to ride the S. I'll pass this link on to him. He is around here too...

Holy Cow, that S is awesome. Great job! Can't wait to see these things customized and riding all over the place! It's happening!

p.s. Thanks Chris for the heads up. See you this Sunday.

To answer Skadamo, yes it is simple cosmetic changes.  Here is a horrible pic I just took with the headlight changed to the round one you see online.  It has a few similarities to my Ducati Monster?!  I also took the mirrors off and will replace with bar end mirrors.

Here are a few updated pics with the round headlight and mirrors removed from an upward position to a downward position.  This bike is mostly used for shows and running around town so the mirrors are not that functional but you get the idea.

While I kind of like the big round headlight better than the original configuration, it doesn't look integrated into the bike. What if the lamp housing was constructed of aluminum to match the frame?

Hi
 - like the way you have customized the bike. Can you provide more details on steps. I.e. you needed to relocate rearlights - did they just mount or does one drill holes etc. ?
the covers on the front and paint job seem as well changed -- unless I am wrong as I am comparing to the 2010 S.

cheers
Tom
