jas, this is not the first time I have seen the Corse bodywork. Fits many models up to the M1100.

If your serious about a set I'll keep my eyes open. You might already be a member on the forum. Not much activity compared to here but some pretty good deals.

Yellow isn't bad, just a red guy all of a sudden. I have decided to keep the S2R but I did have a buyer with strong money. He just doesn't work on things, not inclined to work on bikes and limited knowledge and tools. I told him this is not the bike for you, buy something from a local dealer and let them work on it for you. Good decision for me.  ;)

You're welcome by the way.

Which forum?   DucatiMonsterForum.org, or Ducati.ms?

I'm members of both, but, haven't been real regular with either.   For that matter, I'm not real active on any right now.   I watch them more closely in the winter when I'm shut-in by the crappy weather.

If you do see another deal on another set, please PM me!

So, what are you in the mood for?   

Vintage or Modern?

Italian?  German?   British?  Japanese?   Or, maybe something from the former Eastern Block?

He is Military and moving to Oklahoma this week. He was going to leave the bike but I don't know now. It's way closer to you than me. ;)

I would suggest that you don't ride it.  ;)

I would add that I got him down another $300. Yes, it's got 18K on the clock but every service record is included. Run forever.

It's actually a very good buy as out this way the same bike in that color pushes 10K. They were 130 HP.

They don't "make one", but will sell you the bits to make your own.

Moving forward. Ordering Race Teck springs tomorrow then complete rebuild of the new forks. Bushings, springs, SKF seals with Motal 5W oil.

Calipers are done, lines test fitted with some Pro Bolt bling. Radial masters, reservoirs done. ASV levers fit the masters.

Going to remove tank and install all new goodies inside.

Changing the handle bar to a different color  ::), installing Bitubo damper. Few other details such as oil change and inspection.
