I've had a similar thread on the other board just to keep track of my mods and to give links to where I've got parts for those of you who are interested.
I originally planned on buying a Ducati Monster S2R Dark in 2005 but put it on hold because of an upcoming deployment to the middle-east. I couldn't find one or even a 2006 when I got back home as they were all sold out in Cali. I ended up getting a 2007 S2R800 in Black.
The following is what I upgraded/modded on the bike in the first half of 2007:

By March 2008 I made the following mods (then went to Kuwait as a civilian contractor):

http://www.carbonfiberman.com)
CF Hand Guards (
http://www.rpmcomposites.com)
Monsterparts Adjustable Levers modified into shorties (think I'm going to upgrade to the Pazzos)
ProGrip Lever Skins
Ducster900's CF Shifter Rod
Wrapped forks with black athletic grip tape
I went home for a month in April 2009 and made the following modifications:
Replaced/rerouted right side oil cooler line with the longer Hypermotard cooler line (
http://www.sacramentomotorcycles.com)
Satin Black rattlecanned the passenger peg brackets and exhaust can brackets
Dreamvee "Eyecatcher" Belt Covers (ebay)
Carbon Fiber Heelguard+Heatguard Kit (
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/carbonworld-us-1__W0QQ_armrsZ1)
Oberon black foot pegs with metal studs (
http://www.streetfightersinc.com/DucatiAccessories.htm)
Metisse Oil Cooler Radiator Cover (
http://www.streetfightersinc.com/DucatiAccessories.htm)
GSG-Moto Universal Rear Brake Reservoir (
http://www.streetfightersinc.com/BrakeReservoirs.htm)
All the following items I got from Monsterparts (
http://www.monsterparts.com)
Carbon Fiber Rear Brake Pump Cover
Corsair Industries Black Anodized Billet Brake & Clutch covers
MFW Adjustable Footpeg Adapters (1/8" machined off to make the Oberon footpegs mount snugly)
Carbon Fiber Exhaust High Mount Bracket
Marving Cat Eliminator Mid-pipe
The last three items listed above were probably some of the best mods I've made. My feet position is much better than stock. The utter is finally gone plus a little more growl has been added to my exhaust. It seems a little rich but I will get it adjusted when I install the TPO Velocity Stacks on the next go-round. The cans are now mounted a little closer in and I think I am going to have the right side passenger peg bracket machined to match the left side as it bothers me the way it doesn't match the other side and I now have all kinds of space and able to move it in to match.
In June I went home for a week prior to heading out to the Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany, and then finally Afghanistan.
While home I made the following changes:
Removed rear CF mudguard since the exhaust was now rubbing because of the tighter mounting position.
Dariuslab Carbon Fiber Swingarm cover (
http://shop.ebay.com/dariuslab/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=)
Covered front brake lines with black wire wrap/loom
I'm going to have to change out the leftside oil cooler line with one from a Hypermotard. The silver one looks out of place.
Also thinking about shortening the cans by about 5 or 6 inches.
The MT-01 headlight I ordered hadn't arrived so it had to wait till the next time I was home (along with a few other mods
).
Some pix of what it looked like at this point:

I also had them install:
Vizi-Tec Novastar HSi Taillight (

Duccutter's kickstand Ducfoot (
http://www.duccutters.com/DucCuttersLimited.tpl)
Super 29 LED Signal Lights (Black) (
http://stores.ebay.com/LuckyBike-accessories)
New set of Michelin Pilot Road II Tires
New set of Brake pads
When I got the bike back from them I then installed:
Motovation Universal Fit Barend Weights/Sliders (

Motrax Mini reversible bar end mirrors (

CF Alternator, Engine, and Clutch covers (

3D Ducati logo silver sticker for clutch cover (

I had also ordered the Driven Racing Carbon Fiber wrapped Aluminum Handlebars (
http://www.motowheels.com) but they were not an exact swap for the originals. The center section was longer and the grip sections were shorter causing issues with fitting the coffin reservoirs and reinstalling the handguard mounts impossible. I gave them to my son-in-law and will try to reorder a better matched set at a later date.
The new headlight required some modification to the headlight mounting system and left me without a place to mount the windshield fairing. The Pazzo Levers also caused issues with the mounting brackets for the handguards. I am currently running the bike without both but will make some bracket mods at a later date in order to be able to install the fairing and handguards back on.
