Ducati ST3 Customizations and Additions
Copyright © 2005 Edward E. Williams

Latest work is at the top of the page, oldest at the bottom

Ducati Performance® Carbon Fiber Silencers

Shown here with the saddlebags off, the DP Exhaust kit comes with new pipes, CF cans,
a new ECU, airbox mod and K&N air filter.


Here's how they look with the normal setup - bags on


Heli Bar
TM Tour Performance® bar adapters

This is a "cockpit" view of the installation
This shot also shows my Formotion lilquid filled stick-on thermometer



The parts are crafted with a high degree of precision and quality


Another "cockpit" view.
The risers put the bars an additional 1.75" higher and 1.5" farther back.
The ST3 is comfortable enough stock, but these add just that extra bit
that's very nice on the long, long days.

Cycle Cat
® Clutch mods
  • Billet pressure plate
  • Aluminum spring keepers
  • Full open aluminum cover

Yeah, the racer boys install these for various reasons including better heat disspation, etc.
I'll confess that I installed these items just because I think they look cool.



Evoluzione
® Clutch Slave Cylinder

This was a companion installation to the Heli-Bars.  I increased the height of the bars and
reduced the pull of the clutch wth this little gadget to eliminate the tendency I had of getting
numb hands and carpel tunnel syndrome.


Corbin
® "Smuggler" seat


New Corbin Smuggler seat in Faux black snake leather with "MotoSport" emblem






The "Smuggler" part - inside pocket on lid for small items like helmet lock cable, small tools, etc.


The inside of the opening is cut to exactly fit the existing tool tray that's mounted
between the frame rails of the bike.  Very nice.


XM
® Satellite radio:

XM Roady 2 installation
Radio is mounted to the instrument cluster housing with a RAM mount.

closr look
A closer look at the front view
(by the way, that's 1753 miles on the NEW speedometer.  It was replaced under warrenty at 1693 miles on the old one)


A look through the windscreen at the RAM mount, cabling and the XM Delphi antenna - mounted with black
silicone RTV sealant/adhesive.


This shows how I dealt with the 27 feet of antenna cable that comes with the Roady2.
The terrestrial repeater signals are received with the antenna cable, a la "Walkman" style, so
the cable is wrapped back and forth between the two "horns" of the dash fairing, allowing it to
gather lots of terrestrial signal.  This is a change from the original installation, which didn't work
as well due to having the cable colied tightly and stuffed in to a small space behind the dash.
... don't worry, the duct tape is only holding the cable while the glue dries.


audio wire
The output of the Roady 2 is routed via an extension cable to a spot just inside my left knee while riding.  This allows
me to route my Etymotic ER-4P earphones up through the front of my jacket and in to my helmet.


voltmeter and grip heater switch
Also added was a nice little voltmeter and a heated grip kit, for which the H-OFF-L switch is here.
The grips are nice and toasty.

And since a number of people have asked, following are links to the various bits and pieces shown here:

Heli Modified Inc - bar kits and risers
Formotion liquid filled stick on Lumiglow thermometer
CycleCat billet parts
Evoluzione clutch kit
Corbin Smuggler Seat
