Worked on the Toaster yesterday...
I added a pig-tail for the battery tender, topped up the water in the battery (kickin' it old skool style), & aired up the tires.
All I need are 2 new screws to hold the side panels on, & I'll be through with that one.
Today, I start putting the 1098 back to street

I have a couple:

1) Talk more shit to the easties!  (westies rule!)
2) get another bike (track)
3) Drink, drink, drink, drunk.   
4) Move to WV. 
5) Try and get back to the DFW area at least once this year!

Ordered a coupla bits to replace broken bits on the 1098... new under-tail section, & new front fairing stay.

Also ordered the new license plate bracket with the LED running/brake/turn lights. Got it in chrome this time

I thought you already got a new (replacement) one of those?  You didn't break another one did you??  [moto]

my bad

Picked up a coupla fasteners whilst running errands on my 1098 today, & got the side panels on the Toaster

Got my $150. piece of genuine Ducati plastic in today...

...so to install the above mentioned piece, all you have to do is take off the tail, then remove the exhaust, then undo the license plate bracket & wiring

You wouldn't have to replace it if you didn't keep breaking it!  The tires are supposed to be on the ground, not the tail section!  And how about some fresh rubber while you're at it?  Looks like an alligator has been chewing on your tire.

I now have the 1098 back together, with the new under-tail piece installed

Huge thanks to AMS-D! They were great to schedule a time when I could have the recall work done while I waited.
New battery compartment & heat shield (voltage regulator had already been done).

I also put the side cover thingys back on as well...
