Where I live is a mixture of clay and chalk, which for off road means very slippery when wet and very technical, not huge jumps or high speed. So I've upgraded to Super Adventure S foot pegs for more grip. What upgrades have you done?

At home in the urban jungle. I've gone back to the 48 tooth rear sprocket to see how much it changes the off road ability.

Interesting video from @SuperbikeSurgeryTV. For those who have experienced bike shut down under hard deceleration with clutch pulled in, a possible cause is the throttle butterfly being pulled fully closed shutting off the airflow. Something to add to the possible causes if you experience this. https://youtu.be/qgFioYJQPdo?si=Ok1_b...

When I finish playing off road I will be switching back to these. I need to create a slick process where I can swap out the wheels with chain and sprockets to suit the different riding. It was difficult to find the front flame disk @RokBagorosStuntrider

Even though the swinging arm and chain guard got a lot of mud spray, the hugger and repositioned number plate did a great job of reducing the spray onto the seat.

Testing the Svartpilen rear hugger on the Duke. It works well and cuts out the spray of water and mud onto the rear of the bike, but I can't say I'm a fan of how it looks - or of the alternatives you can buy. What do you think - live with the mud on wet days or go for the protection?

Given that this doesn't have the suspension travel of a dirt bike, and even though there are no rocks where I ride (chalk doesn't really count), I've added a bash plate from @AS3Performance which was really easy to fit.

I guess I should show a before and after shot in case anyone was wondering if I actually intended taking the bike off road. Here is after a slightly muddy green lane as I'm testing the setup.

Need to fit the stock slip on back on the bike - this debaffled version is still too loud for riding along the dirt tracks. The UK is very much tarmac, not so many places you can ride off road here - where do you ride?

I've often had discussions with people about my videos where they can't find a particular after market part, and there seems to be some expectation with some people new to modifications that you should be able to buy everything locally. Sadly this isn't true and it will never be true. A lot of parts I've ordered internationally - which can be a bit stressful and shipping/import costs aren't fun.
It took months of searching and a large number of fruitless dead ends to finally find someone who was able to supply the brake disk I wanted. They didn't have the brake disk in stock but was willing to order it in. But expect to pay up front if you do this because no dealer can afford to get a part in only to find you never pay for it.
Thanks to @DrBikesUK for the help in sourcing this and thanks for being so helpful!
