Got my kit. Ordered Tuesday, arrived Friday. Took about an hour to install (going more slowly than needed, in all likelihood.) For those curious about the color, there's a PPG paint code in the "instruction" pamphlet that might permit comparisons with other factory Ducati yellows. It's almost exactly the same as my HJC helmet, which I suspect is the same as Shoei Axis Yellow. It's 2AM, so no pics yet.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Nope!  Totally different from the S2R color (PPG *0034)

I'm not certain that that 0034 is PPG.

I think it's Salchi.

I think that Ducati had been using PPG for so long they neglected to change the vendor name in the manual when they strayed from PPG.

If you look at the color for the S4Rt it is also a 4 character code, and it is listed as Salchi.

Good to know, that number is from my manual.  I never thought to check PPG's catalogue....

....for I am not a painter!
