For anyone who may need one of these for your Ducati in the future, the specs aren't exactly the same as the Marchesini wheel it replaces.  It took the dealership about 2 1/2 hours to swap out the wheel, as the Enkei wheel requires different spacers to fit.  Finally they ended up taking a front wheel off a brand new 696 (with stock Enkei wheels) that had just been received at the dealership, and putting it on my bike.  I guess just ordering the new wheel won't suffice.

Likely.  I'll use the excuse that I am a chick, and don't know all the technicalities.  I would like to learn though.

I see you have a GSX-R 750.  How do you like it?

I have two pictures, and I have read the 'posting photos' FAQ, but I must not be holding my mouth right.

if you dont have your tongue sticking out the left side of your mouth it will not work.

I had so many far more dirty jokes to make but i won't because i am almost a grown up.

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

that's a real shame that ducati changed suppliers on the rims.
i guess they are trying to increase the profit margin on the 696.

Have you heard back from your insurance co?

yeah bike is total loss. only problem now is replacing it with a US Spec bike. DNA answer is I can't import Euro bike... they keep ignoring my question about buying a US spec bike here.
