Been reading all through this forum for the past 3 years but never post anything.
Pretty sweet... thought I would share.

I wonder where I can get "snap on" body panels like this?

I think Ducati has gone so far upmarket on the new SBK there is room for the SS to slide in there.
A 100hp+ 2v with the old SBK frame :D

$15k for the bike above....

About $1k for the bodywork.

I'm pretty sure those are welded on mounts for the bodywork. so not a simple thing to add on.

Other than clip-ons under the triple, what else did they do to get the more foward riding position. That's what I loved most about the SS, specially on the track, when compared to my Monster. I think I would definitely buy an SS with the current 2v motors.
