Some very well respected guys on ducati.ms said to run the rockers like they are.  Said they might replace the one that appears to have a chip in it, if I had one laying around.

Just thought I'd add that to the post, for future searches.  [thumbsup]

In my view, from what Ive seen in the past, the rockers look like the beginning stages of problems. Not necessarily now, but you may want to check them again in 6 or so thousand miles. It might be worth it just to have them replaced/reconditioned since you have it all a part. You mentioned about polishing the cam. If the rockers are in good shape, the cam generally shouldnt need to be touched. If you see marks on the cam, the rockers are on their way out.

I'll be doing the adjustment again at 12k, and I'd pull the cams again then, so we'll be checking them.  Of course, if I hit the lottery something soon, I'll trade this in on a new multistrada and do a beak-ectomy :D
