My damn wheels finally showed up!
Here they are for your drooling pleasure:

I will post up more when they are on the bike. Waiting on new shoes to arrive for them.
And quite a bit later, I will do a ride impression write up (can't ride the damn thing cuz I'm at the 7500 service interval and the dealer is booked a FULL MONTH out!!
)
They tell me (of course) that Ducati frowns upon exceeding the interval...

I've heard good things about those.
Enjoy! should be fun. Probably going to have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground. Turn in should be notably improved.

I AM SO FREAKIN' JELOUSE!!!!!!!
I so want BSTs for my bike!!! I am forced to get a new set of rims for my monster, due to swingarm conversion and front-end swap. Unfortantly I can't afford BSTs right now
I really don't want throw down a 1-2k for a set of rims that I really don't like, only wishing I had BSTs. I wish my stock rims would work until I had the dough for BSTs.
I am drooling at your pics, BTw

Yeah, they come with a 3 year warranty and I've been told they have warranted 5 years out and not even for mfg issues!

Uh yeah, got that prob now as it is. S4RS with 135 rwhp.
Turn in should be notably improved.
So I've heard and if it is anything like when I first got the bike, I'm gonna need to spend some time "re-learning" how to ride it! [moto]

I finally got my BST's mounted and I must say I'm damn glad that I also mounted a steering stabilizer at the same time. I went to pass a truck on a long stretch today and I jumped from 60 to 100 indicated faster than I could pass the truck which was right in front of me. I only passed him to see if the wheels made any difference. The 14t front sprocket helped I'm sure, but my helmet jumped vertically on my head as I blew by and the sudden rush of air stood me upright in my seat. I'm sure that if the stabilizer hadn't been doing its thing I would have gotten a bit of headshake at the rocketship rate of acceleration I experienced. What a blast- literally!

Be sure to check rear caliper clearance the shop I used to work at had a set that was supposed to fit a s4RS and the rear caliper hit the wheel spokes.
I had already installed one set on a customers bike and the first set had plenty of clearance.
your going to love them!
