The shop called my parts came in today I guess under the Ducati employee purchase plan it takes longer?!?

You work for Ducati? What do you do there? I just put in an app at a new dealership opening by my house...just wondering how it is...?

Sorry. Not sure I follow what you're saying. You work for DNA? If so, sure, you come AFTER the paying clients..., but I'll wager the price was right. ;D

Just bought a new Competition Werkes tail light integrator (turn signals integrated into the tail lights) and "standard" license plate relocator.  Really cleans up the tail end of the Panigale!

Visited their place just south of Eugene while I was there on business and was mighty impressed with the fact that they build their exhaust systems on site including machine work and welding.  I was so impressed that I had them set Desert Desmo up as a dealer for their product!

Pics if anyone is interested.

i just got a pair of these bad motherfcukerS! i picked up the titanium set up top -- i considered the all carbon but i'm trying to use as little carbon as possible now and get back to a more stock look. upgraded stock. i am psyched!


now i just need some keihin flatslides ($1,000?!?!) and a brand new clutch for smooth operation and proper engine-braking -- none of that slipper shit for me on the classic, old monster.
Give me a shout if you know any good motorcycle detailers in the Westchester area.

No, I wish but I work PT/oncall at a local shop and we get employee pricing from Ducati. I also heard that they are really short staffed right now so it could be the reason it took so long to process the order. I'm still waiting for the check for the bike, but hey I get to take the parts home.

Not a pic, but a poor video instead.  Please excuse the shoddy camera work and the lens smudge.

Nothing about Cloner can ever be described as "sexy".  Even the bike he rides.

The best anything about him can be is: mediocre.

Thanks for the link.

Will this fit current model monsters, specifically M696? Ebay listing says "Monster Most 2V 4V". The stealership charges $90 for the plastic one thats prone to splitting (causing oil leak) because of the 2 part epoxied construction.

I'm not sure...Ducati Omaha has an online parts fiche, look up the item number and see if they cross reference.

I'll post my thoughts on this bad boy when I receive it. I'm gonna dissect it.
