I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Those pistons are make the beast with two backsing huge
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

Awesome bike.  Though the Panigale is not the first motorcycle to offer LED headlights--Harley beat them to that.  Ducati may be the first to offer it as the only stock option from the factory, but H-D has been selling new bikes with LED headlights off the showroom floor for at least two years now.

What I'd like is a kit to fit my 998 with LED headlights.

I thought I read somewhere that Ducati was putting LEDs on the higher end models and not all

my streetfighter has LEDs around the headlight.  I honestly think it has dramatically reduced the number of fools that pull out in front of me.   [thumbsup]

the base 1199 doesnt have the LED headlight, only the S model and up.

and the diff btwn the SF/1199 LED headlights are that the SF's lights are accent lights only... the 1199's are the main driving lights too.

though i do like the led accents on the sf, and i believe that i read somewhere that the triangular pattern of 3 lights for some odd reason tends to make people notice you more.

Interesting they went with a timing chain on this engine. Makes sense though.
