My poor Bianca is still getting new parts but is already going into hibernation for the winter since the snow up in Canada is on its way :(
Some of her mods are custom fabrications and others are straight plug 'n play. Hope you like 'er!

welcome to the board yauser. there is a how to for posting pictures here (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=109.0)
Welcome yauser, nice bike! [thumbsup]
Whereabouts are you located? There are a number of Canadians on the board.
Edmonton, Alberta. There are Ducati group rides out here through Argyll Motorsports
Greetings from Vancouver. Welcome to the board, yauser! Nice ride you have there. [thumbsup]
Bianca is sure pretty yauser. Where's the belly pan from & was it much trouble to install? I have an 07 S4RS and that's been on my to do list.
Greetings yauser,
Nice to see you and Bianca have joined the Forum.
Enjoy your time with us and cool mods on a cool S4Rs.
Dolph :)
I ordered the belly pan on eBay through italmotoparts. They don't have one posted currently but I'm sure they will soon or could be requested. I got it very cheap, something like $50 new and unpainted. I forgot, but remember to order the mounting hardware for another $18. For an S4Rs, I had to do some cutting with a dremel to make it fit. This isn't a big deal since the piece is unpainted.
I got the colour paint matched and painted it myself with a spray bomb. I didn't need to prime and all the finishing coats were all included in the spray bomb. The colour and finish came out perfectly! I've heard the Monza pan is not an accurate red paint match. One problem was that the heat from the exhaust header caused some paint bubbling but I didn't find that to be a big deal....not really sure how i could've avoided it in any case.
Hope that helps!
Thanks that helps a bunch. I've considered the Monza pan painted for ease of application but I have another project forthcoming (a tail extension) that will require painting as well. I guess I'll combine the two projects to minimize the painting effort.

What make belly pan is that & where did you get it? Any link possibly?
I tried tracking down Italmotoparts but it looks like that eBay store is now defunct. Too bad, it was a great deal! For an S4Rs I'd recommend getting an unpainted belly pan since it will likely requiring cutting to fit properly. Cutting a prepainted piece would ruin it
