If you've got some resources like this - add on to the list.  Sources for electrical OEM type connectors, wires, specialty tools, Ducati specialty tools woud all be good additions IMO

I'll take their "Three Piece Silver Garage Storage" if the bike comes with it.

Ha! nice find.  I'd never seen that.  I'd only been looking for steel peg board and a few bits before. 

I'd take that whole set up, soup, nuts, bike, and tools.   wt:

I think I'm going to add links from folks post to my original, just to keep stuff easy to find...

Anyone got a source for the ducati factory tools?

Good idea.  I will, too.

He, he, he.  Yeah, but you're not gonna like the answer..

Actually, I had a guy make me a thowout bearing puller one time.  Just sent him the dimensions of the bearing and he made it from scratch.  It's been a LONG time.  I'll see if I can find it.
One of the blessings of the fall of the Soviet Union and the subsequent immigration of a lot of folks from the area is that there are a lot of skilled machinists that learned to be very resourceful in the absence of "dealer networks". This guy was one.  He could make anything from the trigger assembly for an AK47 to a steering damper in his garage.
