Another great video. Really enjoy the simplicity of them with just having subtitles. Can’t wait till I get a desert sled.
Thanks Preston 🤜🤛. Appreciate it. Hope you get one soon too.
What modifications were needed to go to the larger front wheel
@@prestonnichols5104 nothing just need the rim drilled to fit the factory Ducati hub
@@BeemerDuc awesome. Thanks for the info
Nice! Great videos
Thanks Eric. Have a good weekend 🏍️💨
The peace and tranquility of this video 😌 I might be getting a 2018 Desert Sled this weekend. The Black with the red, orange, and yellow stripes on the tank. The same exhaust that you have is already on it
Appreciate you. Did u end up getting the DS?
@@BeemerDuc I did! It’s so much fun and I love it 🤘
Lovely bike. They really nailed the colours on this version. For anyone looking for a different exhaust I can highly recommend the Zard Zuma as well it sounds fantastic.
Sounds good
Thanks 👍 I agree. Love the color combo.
Thanks for creating these video. I'm buying the exact same bike in a week or so, same high level Termi system from a seller here in the UK. So your videos have been a great source, getting to know the bike and particularly how it sounds with the Termi. The side bag and rack is definately something I'll do/need. Can I ask what mirrors you use, they look so much better than the stock ones! Thanks in advance. Nige
Ignore my last request…I probably should've expanded your description first!! 😜 'Rottweiler performance Mirrors'…gotcha!! Great that you went to the trouble to list everything, appreciated man!
How do you take baffle out?
Hey there I really love what you’ve done with the sled. I’ve had mine for about a year and I’m trying to work out exactly what you’ve done with the wheels there.
Did you leave the rear wheel as stock but just add the chunkier Shinko tyre?
Also did Dubyausa make the whole wheel or did they add some beef to the stock one making it 21inches?
Would really appreciate the response!
Thanks for the vid! How much do you think you've added to the seat height with the 21" front wheel and taller rear tire? And what effect to on-road handling has the new front had? Thanks, and keep riding!
Hey Mario! It Doesn’t feel much taller since I still have a 17 inch rear tire. Also the handling is barely worse on the road. I don’t see any real downsides to adding the 21 inch rim unless you only ride on the street 👍
Were you able to use factory front hub with the 21 inch swap?
hi can you tell me why the exhaust takes some getting used to ergonomically ? im not sure what you mean by this
I rode one with a high exhaust like that, a leg burner, nowhere to tuck it in
Have you ever thought about putting the Givi windscreen on your sled?
Hmmm I haven’t. But I do have a flyscreen from unit garage that I haven’t installed yet.
Thank you for your unexcited videos. I like to look at them and enjoy nature and of course the bike. I also have a 2021 Desert Sled. I also prefer the higher exhaust. Here in Germany, however, only one version of the Termignoni exhaust is available for the normal Scrambler. would you perhaps have a model number of your exhaust, thank you in advance and I look forward to new videos with you and your machine.
Thanks. I really appreciate your comments. Hmmm that’s interesting. I think the part numbers are SKU #96480691A SKU 96481371A. You’ll need both for the exhaust 👍
Thank you, with your help I was able to find it now. It's even available. However, it costs €1850 + €90 for maintenance. Not really a bargain. 🫣
@@thinkahead2010 ah yes it’s definitely not financially smart 😂
Buying this bike wasn’t ether, but that’s not why any of us bought it, is it?
Did it look ridiculous having the beefy wide rear rim with the narrow 21 front?
The new rear is an inch narrower than stock so looks good 👍
Hi InvestoMoto, great walkaround. I have recently purchased the same high mount exhaust for my '22 sled. It's enroute now, and I'm wondering - did you need any additional brackets to enable fitment? I've read on some forums that an additional bracket kit (SKU 96481371A) is necessary? Happy trails 🙂
I've just realised you answer this question below...!
Yep you too. have fun with it!
Hi Tory. That is interesting. I didn’t have any issues but it was very difficult to install. Or I should say time consuming. I bought the exhaust from my Ducati dealership as part of the deal with my bike. The part number would be whatever is on the site.
The exhaust kit comes with the tune and the dealership can activate it I believe
hi from france!!! could you tell the price it costed to you for the wheels?? mainly the front one because it's a21...
Hey Gilles I paid $375 for the front rim and spokes/nipples 👍
@@BeemerDuc ok so you got the wheel hub, disc and everything else...
@@BeemerDuc becaus i think it's really an important thing to do on this bike!!! they should propose the option in my opinion...
@@gillesmombet2008 yes I agree. You just reuse all the factory parts besides the spokes and rim.
Can I know how did manage to source spokes ?
From Dubyausa. They have everything you need to bolt on the larger rim and spokes 👌.
@@BeemerDuc that's awasome, i gave up buying Africa twin for a desert sled hope it's a Good decision
I do wonder, why didn't you go with an 18' rear? Many people have done it before, without lengthening the swingarm. A 150 wide tire won't fit, but a 140 will, and since you switched to a narrower rim with a 140 tire anyway, you could have gone with an 18'.
Unfortunately you have to cut into the stock swing arm which I wasn’t ready to do. 18inch is too big for it based on the pictures I’ve seen from people who have done it. 18 would have been nice.
@@BeemerDuc Hm I was pretty sure it would fit, but you have the bike, so I'll have to believe you haha. Still deciding between getting a Desert Sled and then doing a 21/18 conversion, or just straight up a Tenere 700 extreme edition.
@@Blockbuster2033 haha. Man I love this sled with the mods I’ve done. It’s also smaller in dimensions than the t7 which I like. Tenere is the better bike tho in my opinion.
@@BeemerDuc Yeah, but a Tenere is not much bigger either. It mostly just looks bigger because of the fairing. You are 100% correct tho, the T7 is objectively a much better bike, but the sled is just "special". It looks much better and it's much more rare.
@@BeemerDuc Since I'm honestly not convinced that it is not possible, I did some calculations: If you'd go from a 140/80-17 to a 140/80-18, the tire radius increases almost exactly by 2/3 of an inch (or 17mm), while the width and profile stays the same. So if you measure directly outwards radially from any point of the tire, and there is at least 2/3 of an inch of space, then an 18" rear would fit.
removing the catalytic converter, saying you like nature is kinda stupid!..
What’s the name of the helmet and goggles you use? I just bought the 22 sled and I like your style.
Thanks I like the retro style of fuel motorcycles. Helmet is from Shoei EX ZERO I think.
Do you think it’s worth waiting for the 2024 version?
Hmmm I’m not sure what the new sled will look like. Could be since it will probably be a lot different
