Actually, a bunch.

Parts have all been ordered.
Although, Ducati is apparently out of stock on rod bolts and we had to get the set from AMS (Thanks guys!)

They did scope/xray the new crank before shipping it which delayed shipping 2 days. So that's a plus and a negative. Hehe.

I am taking the opportunity to have heavier springs installed front and rear to make it a bit more 2 up friendly. Both front and rear were sub-$300 and labor is going to be substantially cheaper since the bike is mostly disassembled anyway.

I am debating the LeoVince crossover pipe to eliminate the bladder and the exhaust valve but at $475, I am hesitant...

Other than that, I have them shopping for an extended warranty for me so when mine expires in March, I have a safety net...

Judicious use of blue straps.

I'd say you're in excellent hands.

 I wonder if that's something you could have made up at a muffler shop for less?
