I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t work for the company so I can’t speak to their delivery timeframes, but I imagine it takes awhile to ship to South Korea. I would contact their customer support to see if they have an update for you. I’m sorry you have been waiting, but I can tell you the skid plate is worth the wait. You will love it.

Great question, I would say that the volume ranges anywhere from “not noticeably louder” to 10% louder, give or take. Really not bad. The heat is no different in my experience. It can still be hot and radiate heat, but it did that with the stock skid plate too. The airflow through the skid plate holes really must help with wicking the heat away underneath so it isn’t trapped with nowhere else to go but up. After many scrapes and bumps, and an easy removal for an oil change since I installed it, it’s been 10/10 - would recommend.

Hey thanks for watching, and I agree that Duc’s are very cool! But quick question - ‘As if’ what?

Mine has the same attachment points/angles as the 2019. If you watch the video at the 4:07 mark, you can see I have the bolts on the left side, and I put my foot on the frame while pulling the rack to spread it wider and use my other free hand to get the bolt in place and started. I can’t promise that all of them are the exact same measurements, but I promise mine didn’t look like it was going to fit either.

@@ADHDiy_Guy Thanks for the reply, I may have a different rack manufacturer here in England, Foot on the frame was never gonna work for this model So I put a car Jack inside it to spread the bars out. 👍🏼 Thanks for the post, I would have given up!

There should be no reason I can see for them to be different. I have not compared them side by side, but it should be the same. I feel like a cheaper option would be to have the front fender wrapped with a black vinyl wrap instead of buying one direct from Ducati though. Good luck!

thanks for the reply, here in England it was cheaper to buy them from Ducati than get them wrapped actually! Btw They do fit! So I’m working my way through your other mods now👍🏼

I’m really sorry to hear the parts you ordered haven’t fit. What year is your bike?

I ended up using a KTM pressure switch. It was for all models.

Yes I did, and I even included it in the video! If you watch from the beginning of minute 8 of the video, I show the new “stop” I fashioned. Pretty simple, no fancy fabrication needed.

yeah not sure why I missed that - probably skipping around a bunch. Really great video. Thank you again!

Let’s see if this link actually posts. a.co/d/eoWZohs I was going to say that CZcams doesn’t let you post links as a content creator until you reach at least 100 subscribers, but then I saw I am at 101! So we should be all good.

I should have fought for it a bit more, as I also did had mine activated with a regular service/oil change. I hope folks that are thinking of doing this mod see your comment so they can make the same argument. As far as the footpegs, I hope I didn’t mislead you to buy them with my video! I got them for our TW200 but my wife didn’t like them. I had to take my cutoff wheel and grind them down on each side, as well as flatten the angled end a little in order for them to fit the Ducati. I probably weakened them but so far they have held up - I bring my oem pegs with me in my bag any time I go off road just in case.

@@ADHDiy_Guy No you're good on the foot pegs! I see how you modded them but the ones they sent me simply wouldn't. I know how to weld and modded the rear brake pedal so i'll probably just do the same to the stock pegs.

And since you already have the heated grips activated on your bike, you won’t have to pay the $80 activation fee again! Good luck.

Hahaha, I have thought about it but honestly I really don’t do much highway riding where I am sitting at a consistent speed for a period of time. If a throttle lock company wants to sponsor me by sending me product to try I would be happy to!

That’s why I have spent money on protection mods! So it can stay a work of art. No paint or body work was damaged in the making of this video, don’t worry!

Thanks! I wouldn’t say we have put it through the “ringer” since we aren’t great at riding off road yet but we have taken it off road a handful of times since the skidplate has been installed and it has handled some tree roots and rocks getting kicked up no problem. The TW has even run into a tree during a hill climb and gotten stuck on the skidplate edge, and I don’t think it has shown any weakness yet. It is a beefy plate, in my opinion it holds its own against any of the other well known brands.

thanks a lot for the info! very helpful@@ADHDiy_Guy

If you make any videos, I will watch them!

What doesn’t make very much sense? Installing a skid plate? My voice? My instructions? How could it be better?

Hey thank you, that’s a big compliment! I’m just trying to make real content that actually helps people with their projects (or that are fun for me) and not pander to the algorithms. Any feedback or advice for this novice video maker would be greatly appreciated.

love it not a sellout to the algo! (TOP 10 MODS DUCATI DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DO!!!!!!!) lol@@ADHDiy_Guy

I believe so, but an easy way to check is to take off the cover on the right side underneath the gas tank and the wires should run right under the cover. They will have the “heated grips” stickers right on the wires. If you see that, you should be golden!

Hey! Keep making good products and I will gladly promote them! Could I interest you in a sponsorship agreement? I will gladly install and review any parts you want to send my way!

@@ADHDiy_Guy Thank you very much for your reply. I found that you have two motorcycles? Could you tell me the year of them? I would like to make a record. We will develop relevant models of accessories in the future, please help us review them.

My Ducati Scrambler Desert is 2022, and the Yamaha tw200 is also 2022, but that should be pretty much the same since 2001.

@@ADHDiy_Guy Okay, thankyou very much.

Not noticeably at all, I was expecting it to be at least a little bit louder and was just hoping for “quieter than the ricochet plate” and honestly it is probably the same as stock because the sound has somewhere to escape to. If it is louder, you would need another tw200 right next to it for comparison in order to even notice.

@@ADHDiy_Guy just ordered one thanks your video sold me

You won’t regret it! Let me know how you like it once you get it installed!

Was going to ask about the noise as well. Thanks!

@@ADHDiy_Guy The desert sled look like such a fun bike to me. I already know the tdubs is fun

Let’s see if CZcams lets me comment a link, here is the Amazon posting for the one I bought but there are a bunch of sellers with the same one. Motorcycle Luggage Rack a.co/d/iBoeRRA

dang it, it’s. no longer 18 bucks. i would’ve messed with it for that price. oh well

@@spoonf20c I agree that the $18 price point made it a no brainer, but now that I have tested it under load, I would pay $75 for it.

It was a great time, the video can only do it so much justice.

Not me seen your video to late ordered ducati ones already 😭

Agreed, of all the bikes I have owned, the Desert Sled is by far my favorite. And your videos are great, by the way! I had already subscribed to your page when I clicked on your name! I have loved your videos featuring the Scrambler adventures. Keep it up!
