Ducati Monster Color Therapy Bodywork ... Where can I find a good deal on a set?

[dtsduc]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a set of the Monster Color Therapy Bodywork for less than the MSRP of $699.99?

nowhere.
well maybe used.
I have heard there is zero margin from the factory and it is unlikely they would be discounted.

I called around and some dealers wanted $800+!!! Commoto from #1 post has the best deal and seemed most knowledgeable & friendly so I just ordered a set from them.

There is a seller on ebay selling all the platic bits for a 696 for about $400 .

What color did you go with?

Lila Glamour.  It's for my wife's 696...

For your wife's 696.....  are you sure? hehehehe...

[dtsduc]

Hahaha... Yeah, it's a belated Valentine's present.  I'd be happy with the white bodywork currently on her bike but you know women...

No margin on an $800 piece of plastic with some paint?

[dtsduc]

Yeah, that's lame!  Why would Ducati even want to make them and create a separate website (with some kind of marketing campaign) if there is no margin on them?!   You bet there's margin...a FAT one no doubt.

God forbid they make a profit! *gasp*

Call your dealer and grind them on price.
maybe it will work

The dealer I trust told me their cost and retail and there isnt margin for a discount without taking a loss.

[dtsduc]

All 3 of my local dealers were firm on their prices.  Yes, prices. Some of them added $100 on top of the MSRP! I ended up getting it out of state WITH A DISCOUNT without even asking for it so in the end I got a much better deal going with a dealer I had NO prior dealing with. The bodywork was promptly shipped and is on its way to me via UPS. Personally, I wouldn't trust a (st)ealer when it tells you there's no margin even if I am related to its boss!

You can find it with the ugly bikes.

I really think you should try to get over it now kopfjäger
