Anti-slosh foam
As we ride our bikes the fuel level decreases and the remaining fuel starts moving inside the tank with the movement of the bike, each bump, jump, corner, acceleration and deceleration, causes the fuel to move and that movement produces some forces and these forces are then transferred to the wall of the tank and transferred throughout the bike upsetting the center of gravity which negatively affects the bike handling.
The anti-slosh foam is a special sponge-like material that goes inside the fuel tank and only reduces the tanks volume by 2-3 percent, but helps suppress explosion, absorb impact energy and control fuel sloshing.

Hyperpro suspension upgrade kit
Filed under: Ducati, Hyperpro, Mods, Suspension, Technical
I never liked the suspension on my Ducati Sport Classic and always thought its just too stiff… am not saying its not good, its just not good enough. It doesn’t give enough feel of the road, and since upgrading to Öhlins was way too expensive i decided to only replace forks internals, and the rear spring with Hyperpro combo kit.
Hyperpro is a Dutch company and one of the leading producers of motorcycle progressive suspension products, they are mostly famous for steering dampers, but they also produce complete shocks, front fork springs and height adjustment kits for alot of bikes. Progressive springs reduces the braking distance by 15 to 20 percent in comparison to a bike with linear springs, small bumps and irregularities in the road surface get absorbed immediately while large bumps or holes are intercepted by the more rigide part of the spring, this results in a bike that is faster on the circuit and safer on the highway.
It took almost 2 month for the kit to reach my Aramex box, and when it finally did Aramex refused shipping it because it had a bottle of suspension oil they also refused to trash the oil and ship only the springs, the only solution was to send the kit back to the supplier and ask him to ship it back without the oil.
Anyway the kit in now mounted on the bike, and it was worth the wait.. the bike feels like a totally different bike, the feedback from the suspension is so damn good.
I have always believed that one doesn’t need Öhlins suspension on the bike unless one is doing track days, but after this upgrade i guess i was wrong.

Master your wheelies
This is nice gadget and a good investment to protect your investment, the ATS or Anti Turnover System by Romanelli Technologies will prevent the wheelie from going beyond control, it only kicks in when the motorcycle’s front wheel rises beyond the safe limit, it interrupts the ignition bringing the wheel back down.
So if you ever wanted to wheelie your babe and afraid of crashing it then this is for you.

Quality service
A year+ ago i bought a Storz Performance steering damper kit for my Ducati SC, the damper performed very well and was worth the investment..lately the damper started acting funny and steering the bike became very difficult…so i called Storz Performance and explained the problem..they were very helpfull and explained to me what could be the problem then asked me to send the damper back to have it checked, a couple of days later i got a brand new one at no cost not even a shipping cost !!!
Even though i’am at the other side of the world and used the damper for more than a year, Storz Performance was happy to replace it…talk about costumer service.
Thanks Jim.
