I dont know...Which is considered better?  Single pin or dual pin?  My only guess is that no one orders this option, and they didn't have any at the factory(which explains why I was told 1 week and it took over 5 weeks) and they may have pieced this together (Ducati. not my dealer).  Thoughts?????

I think you got an upgraded kit compared to the picture.  It's a good setup.  Brake in good health and enjoy!

I think they just re-used an old picture.

I think/hope Speeddog is right here. It seems logical with the old picture theory, especially with the narrow bolt spacing observation. Also, it wouldn't be very likely that your dealer/Ducati pieced it together and sold it as the xxxx5805B kit, without telling you.

The carriers are lighter? I have no clue which calipers are better. 

If you will take the time to ask your dealer, I for one, would be very interested in geting to the bottom of this. This is, being winter here, the most exciting Monster issue going on  ;D
