had it up to speed yet, done any downshifts at 100mph?

No, I'm not idolized by anyone. At least, I haven't gotten that memo yet. I'm just giddy that I have the best bling there is to have... performance bling. And, it's red and sparkly (that doesn't hurt).

I'm playing with it tomorrow. So, I'll let you know. I get to play with it to see if the shim I was given is needed or not. Aint skeerd..... much.

Any difference between dry slipper and wet slipper? Clutches, I mean.

Dry sounds broken

Back tire doesn't lock up like a motherfucker when downshifting, it's dreamy. It does go great with those blown up bottles, doesn't it??

I've heard varying opinions on Ducati slippers. Bucci, STM, Sureflex, are the main one's I hear good things about. I think I'm going to try EVR, after I get the suspension sorted...

You have a stock slipper, right?

Only the 1098R comes with a slipper. The base and S models come with a good ol' ball-smashing regular clutch. Pistons that are almost 6 in across make some massive engine braking...

I'm surprised the S doesn't have one.

Mine are just a tick over 4in... but I still love my slipper.

Yup. I have the Surflex on the 748, and this one is the four spring MotoWheels that uses the Surflex plates. The only thing Randy (my mechanic) told me to worry about is it eating plates. So, I have a spare set of plates here waiting.

i hear a slipper doesnt just make downshifting smoother, but theres no need to match revs AT ALLl, just downshift-as in foolproof.

that true?
