Any experience with using iPhone 14 (or similar) as GPS - has anyone had their iPhone camera optical image stabilization (OIS) trashed by engine vibration? Apple actually recommends against it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212803.

I used to be a die hard Garmin zumo user, but am willing to try iPhone for navigation in combination with some kind of Quad Lock mount (with their vibration dampener).

Tyres and Wheels / Re: Anybody using Bridgestone A41?

-- Update 1 --

Got out for a decent spring buzz today and I am growing to rather like these tyres. It was still cold with temperatures running between 8 and 11C (45 - 50F) and conditions ranged between dry and sunny to pretty pissy. On good roads in good conditions, these tyres were superb. They have a steeper profile then the Scorpions which meant I was leaning further over in the same corner at the same speed, and they have a stability that meant I was thinking "Oh wow, look how far over I am leaning" instead of thinking "Oh f...", which meant I was taking the same corners faster and smoother. I am not a rider that worries about chicken stripes, but I have to admit I caught myself thinking about my lane positioning, not from where my wheels would need to go, but from where I needed to position the bike to keep my head safe  :008:

Don't get me wrong, these tyres are not perfect but in fairness to the conditions, nothing would have been. I had one particular corner where I was not aware of any particular stress involved, but the tyres had to actively scrabble for grip. I am not sure if it was loose gravel or sheep shite but both tyres took a couple of steps out of line and gave me a short sharp reminder to curb my enthusiasm. I also had another stretch where short wet mossy grass was growing down the middle of the road and when I strayed onto it, the front tyre just could not find any grip. A seriously butt clenching few moments ensued where I surprised myself by being conscious of thinking "RELAX YOUR GRIP" and when I was stable again I was genuinely surprised that I hadn't gone down. For you off-roaders out there who choose to do this sort of thing for fun, my estimate of your skills has gone up a notch. My estimate of your sanity however... 

One part of the route:

So, Ive been rooting around in the garage, and found the ring, seal, the sw-motech supplied screws, the mount, and the instructions for the tank bag... Its a really good size, not too big or small. If it fit my new Aprilia. I would just use it there, now I have to buy yet another tank bag... Anyway, its a really good one. $150

Tyres and Wheels / Looking to Trade Red Cast 2022 V2/950 Wheels for Rims/Spokes
« Last post by MSponseller on March 16, 2023, 10:20:50 pm »
Hello, I'm a V2S owner inside the DC beltway, looking to spend more time in the dirt. Anyone out there looking to trade spokes for cast? Powder coating before trading is a possibility also if you don't like red. Open in terms of geography as well.

Hello! First time posting here
I have the V2 with 8000 miles now and never knew that there were spacers for the V2. I also have the "high seat" which I thought was the best you can do. May I ask how did you get the spacers?

Hi there- see my post here
https://www.multistrada950.com/index.php/topic,1541.msg15028.html#msg15028

Part #  Code
3         8291D831B SEAT SUPPORT Front
4         8291G081A SEAT SUPPORT LEFT
5         8291G071A SEAT SUPPORT RIGHT

Can't remember if I had to buy the screws ..

You could check here:

https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycle/Multistrada/2019/Multistrada_1260_S_Touring/Multistrada-1260-S-Touring/SEAT/400/2312/0/400

Check for ‘spacer’ in 2019 Multistrada 1260 Touring Seat. However, you will need to cross check with the Ducati dealer if the spacer will fit your bike.

The V2S seat won't fit on the previous 950 version.
I've got a V2s and had the 950 - they attach differently. The 950 has the bolts on the side. the V2S is taken from the 1260.

On the V2S you have several options to change seat heights - standard seat, high/comfort seat, with/without seat spacers.
Annoyingly they don't include the spacers with the V2S like they do with the 1260 - you can see how they work in the picture below.

I've got the comfort seat with spacers to make it as high as possible.

Hello everyone,

Still looking at some options to change the noise of my Multistrada 950s and decided to go for a cat delete as from what I've seen, its what makes the most difference and gives off the deep rumble I was looking for at lower revs. I came onto these two options, the LeoVince CAT ELIMINATOR (LINK PIPE)(https://www.leovince.com/en-us/product/1812-0534-cat-eliminator-link-pipe-ducati-multistrada-950-s-2017-2020) and the Dominator Catalyst (https://www.dominator-exhausts.nl/dominator-catalyst-ducati-multistrada-950.html). First I wanted to ask for your advice if one of you have one of these options, and the second is to ask about the price, since the dominator is significantly cheaper than the LeoVince. Are these difference products or are they just priced very differently.

Thank you
