Oh yes, and step number 1 will be to get a smoke windscreen.

My 2 cents
You don't think the painted yellow windscreen is too much? I'm on the fence with it. I definitely wouldn't go clear if were to buy one. I think smoked would even the yellow out.

Ya know what? I'm sorry, I forgot you were buying the one at the top of this thread. I thought you were buying new....my bad. Ya, I guess a smoked screen would look good. You might want to change out the tacky looking clutch plate and cover while you're at it. To me , that yellow anodized doesn't match and actually clashes with the bike...easy fix under 100 bucks. I'd try to get some black in there, yellow/black looks pretty bad ass....

Enjoy the bike and welcome to the club. Riding a Ducati is awesome. In my 18 or so years of riding, my 1098 has been the only bike that puts a giant grin on my face EVERY time I ride it. I can't explain the feeling...

Were it me, I WOULD go with clear. But anything's better than that yellow!

nice dude! Let us know how it is... I've never been a huge Ducati fan, but if someone offered me a 1098 I'd be all over that like flies on shit.
