so here are pics.  honestly, till last weekend there was no point in posting as it was bone stock.

it's still pretty much bone stock.





pretty much just removed the emissions canister and the shroud, as well as the fairing.  this is how it will be for a while, cause i'm broke as a joke, but it's cleaned up at least.

oh yeah, i took the reflectors and frame stickers off too.



without the tank panels, in case you're curious

 Looks great. I have done or am going to do many of the things you are doing. I took off the fly screen and prefer that much more. The little plexiglass wind screen would trap garbage and you can't reach to clean it out. I think the red frame with black tank and front fender would look nice too. I have the CF Termis and removed the heat shields. When is the rear fender eliminator kit available?

that shroud was the one thing that bummed me out when i saw it in person; all the pics had been from the euro spec without it.  one of the things i love about the naked ducatis is how the engine hangs out of the bottom like it doesn't quite fit in the frame.... you can tell they put an engine on a table and built a bike around it.  with the shroud, it didn't have that look.

yeah, the 400s fun, but has a few issues right now.  completely rebuilding.

Is that clutch line just hanging out there in all it's glory?

i zip-tied it to one of the cross members of the frame, and to another cable a little further back.... really trying to avoid zipties on the outside of the frame
