Since the last time I posted pics, I’ve done a few mods:
1) moved horn to a radiator fan mount (behind the left radiator cover)
2) Galfer Wave rotors (Ca-Cycleworks)
3) Coolant pipe (scuffed off chrome; Ca-Cycleworks)
4) Cox Racing radiator protector
5) Earl’s Econ-o-fit hose clamps for coolant hoses
6) Oiler cooler painted black
7) OEM oil hoses replaced with SS hoses and Russell anodized fittings
Cool Oil cooler protector (painted black; Ca-Cycleworks)
9) Rizoma preload adjusters (thanks Dave!)
10) Drilled Cycle Cat riser adapter caps (to fit Rizoma preload adjusters), stripped the anodizing and polished
11) New grip pads for Rizoma grips (PJs parts)
12) Traded my Termis for a Quat-D Ex-Box
13) Painted Ex-Box black
14) Odyssey PC310 battery (Motowheels)
15) Stripped/polished/painted OEM crank cover
16) Tape “Ducati D” on dash
17) Re-routed starter wire
18) Re-routed fuel lines (thanks Speeddog)
19) Brass quick-disconnects in fuel lines
20) Painted headlight rim black




I would like to lower the gauges/headlight, and powder-coat the rear brake caliper bracket and kickstand satin black.

I don't think that all black wheels look good -- especially on this bike.  I'm patiently awaiting the configurator to see if I wanna change wheel colors.

But all the other black stuff does? C'mon, it's a no brainer.  Grin

No, its a brainer for sure.  Grin

That's a Ducati Performance "dash."  Your dealer should be able to get one for you.  You might wanna be sitting down when they tell you the price.  Cheesy
