My guess is that the turn signals and the headlight shell ended up being poor/no fit with each other as actually produced.
And rather than scrapping a pile of signals or shells, they made a widget to attach them to the fork legs.

That's definitely a possibility.

maybe to comply with fed regulations . .  but it is weird as is the T25 . . .

And then, here's the obligatory pictures of mine:

WOW those Termis look incredible.  I love how they shortened them so that they don't stick out past the tail (like on 1st gen Monsters).

Great color choice, NAKID. The red/black combo is very clean.

Thanks, I'm really liking it. The Termi's sound sweet. It's not as loud or raw as the BoomTubes were, but that's not a bad thing.

Oh, and they also make it a bit difficult to put the side stand down without running my boot down the swing arm.

I'd like to attempt to use my old clip ons, but for some reason Ducati decided to use tamper proof torx screws for the throttle.

Probably because it is a ride by wire throttle?

Nice, I bought the M1200, and the Termi racing cans are incredible.

Guessing the USDOT required spacing distance vs ROW (rest-of-world).

PSA:

ABS in touring mode (default at 2) does not prevent stoppies...

[Speeddog]

AFAIK, if the wheel is still turning, ABS will not intervene.

I don't think there's any other electrickery onboard that will intervene, either.

But that's the thing, the wheel stopped moving... It just didn't skid.

Not sure about the algorithms on the Brembo system but mine has kicked in a couple of times on a sandy patch on a road. Might detect a difference in front vs rear wheel speed? It's a nice system because you maintain lever feel with no pulsing.

As for your comment, most ABS systems kick off ~ 2 - 3 MPH.

Hmmm, this was about 10-15mph when I came up on the front...

The rear wheel was not rolling at 10 MPH? Already in the air?  The ABS kicks in when a wheel locks above the bottom threshold speed.

Rear wheel was still spinning, I wan't using the rear brake.
