Completed my move, updated bike pics

[junior varsity]

I know! I shudder to think how much I've "invested" over the year on these little dress up parts here and there. 

I certainly appreciate all the compliments. I think my goal was to make it still look like it could've come from the factory this way to a person who's not familiar with Ducati's, but with touches that set it apart from the same bike rolling off the dealership floor.

I have never understood why the bikes don't come with something besides the pee-cups from the factory. I understand that they work (obviously) and are cheap and easy to replace should you crash and break one, but I just don't like the white-ish plastic, even if a person dresses up the caps.

And I got some of the Rizoma parts before the prices in the US went up, so I lucked out! I've been contemplating switching back to Rizoma mirrors from the CRG's, but the cost is high, as are accompanying bar ends. My Radial Brembo master cylinders have no mount holes for mirrors (a drawback of track application parts).

GREAT lookin' BIKE !!! I love the old DSSA's especially 1999's

Questions on the "belly pan"  I belive it to be this one:

CORRECT ?

How was the fit and finish ? did it have to be trimmed to fit ? Mounting hardware / instructions included ?

THANKS !

Not very well pictured in those shots is the Under-Triple mounted Ohlins Damper. I was kind of a non-believer in steering dampers, but the feeling of the bike is generally more 'settled' now.

Here's a few shots (with a really dirty under-lower-triple area, ha):

That's the one. You have to drill your own holes in it for the mounting screws (it gives you a spot to do so) and that makes sure it mounts up right for your bike. That and a little trimming of the underside for the header pipe, and it was good to go. I shipped it off to the painter and when it got back I bolted it right up.

It comes with the mounting brackets, but if yours for some reason should not, they are available from Motowheels or MonsterParts

Love the bike  , it looks amazing

Is that a powder coat on the clutch casing?

[junior varsity]

No, the motor came with dark casing (and belt covers) on this bike for some reason. I've not been really keen on them, and wanted them powdered to match the rizoma belt covers/clutch cover, and on the alternator side, similarly powdercoated to match the billet sprocket & alternator covers.

Here's an old pic I dug up, where I trailered it home from Ohio and its previous owner. (Feel free to ignore worlds ugliest dirtbike trailer which did work flawlessly):
