Yeah.. the color almost "fluoresces" under direct sunlight. It's orange, but its red, it glows, but it doesn't.  It is hard describe.. but much more impressive in person.

Can I get that PPG paint code from you please?

In the Parts Catalogue:
Rosso (Tangerine), PPG Paint Code: 473.101

This picture actually doesn't show the color very well at all.  I found this online. Its closer to what the color looks like in person and you can see what the arrows will look like on it.



Is it just not visable in the pic, or do the arrows not have a crossover/balance pipe?

Is it not where the pipes come together below the CF heat shield?

UPDATE (minor): 

Scorpio alarm has been installed.  Had to take the cover off the tool kit to fit it but its on.  Perimeter sensor isn't working though.  At least the shock sensor is.
Reflectors finally removed.  Needs a bit of goo be gone but still, they're off.
Chain was adjusted
Mirrors removed.

Arrows are on order
Will paint the belt covers today.

No photos-  boring update.  lol.

EDIT:

Can't get the covers off... Its like the screws are glued into place.  They won't move at all!  Allen wrench is taking a beating.

Also, does anyone know where I can get caps to fit into the holes left by the mirrors I took off?

Thanks!

Camera isn't working?

Perimeter sensor in the correct slot? There are two, I don't remember which one goes where.
Sensor adjusted properly? (Under the 4-5mm round cover in the middle of the sensor box) Tiny screw driver, be careful - it's very sensitive, doesn't take much movement to adjust a lot.

Also, if you didn't already know, activation with perimeter sensor is done by the lower left button.

I remembered seeing this earlier. Might help.

Another way is to flip the rear side of the bracket, where the hole is, upside down to hide the hole.
If you do this, make sure to tighten both bolts equally - a little at a time.

Woot! thanks!  I need to go get some tomato cages today anyway!

When you grow tomatoes, they need support so that when the tomatoes start to grow, it doesn't topple the plant over.

Yes.  I ride a Ducati, and I garden.  But this is the first year I've tried my hand at gardening.  I like caprese salad so I decided to grow basil and tomatoes on my deck.  I though about getting a cow as well so I could make mozzarella but building management said that wouldn't fit on my deck.

Clearly THE MAN is keeping you down. How about goats?
I thought "tomato cage" might slang for some cool Ducati part I was unaware of: red helmet, red clutch cover, fluid reservoir, you get the picture. It didn't occur to me you that may actually mean tomatoes.  :-\

Haha... no worries. I'm sure "tomato cage" threw everyone for a loop there.   [thumbsup]

Actually for the good stuff you need a buffalo, remember to cut tops off the basil so they don't go to seed

These were posted earlier as an alternative to just plugging the holes. Don't have the original post bookmarked, but i kept this link as I plan on ordering some myself.
