let me know about the rear sets. i want to get that done but i think after a short while (your feet will constantly be rubbing it) the powder coat will start scraping off and it will look like sh*t!

also do you know how easy the removal of the rear sets are?

Those rims are just make the beast with two backsing sweet. Can't wait to hear how the bike handles with that larger rear tire.

When you get a chance, can you post a photo of a full side shot? Tough to see how much you see of those beautiful wheels. Looks like the swingarm covers the back. And the rotors cover most of the front. However, the rear tire looks fantastic.

HERES A NEW LIST OF WHAT I'M DOING NEXT:

asv - clutch and brake levers
ducati parts - carbon fiber timing belt cover
ducati parts - carbon fiber front sprocket cover
ducati parts - carbon fiber seat cowl (pearl white with the stripe down it - you can see it at commonwealth)
ducati parts - low seat (i read it doesn't really lower the bike but maybe 10mm, but i really like the look of it)
handlebars - waiting for someone to make a specific cafe racer style handlebar for a 696 (anyone have any suggestions?)
powdercoat the handlebar risers

MIGHT DO:
powdercoat the rearsets black

Looks beautiful.
BTW, what's that with the "gangsta" wheels next to the bike?  ;D
