So the 'tard is getting a once over at the shop today (finally, they've been busy).
I don't expect much has been damaged aside from the obvious cosmetic stuff and the handlebars / possible mounting bolts.
I'm looking at this as an opportunity to get some fancy aftermarket farkles. On that note, I didn't see much in the way to discussion around aftermarket bars. Seem's tapered bars are the primary option, though I know I can get renthals at the same diameter as stock.
My main question, is there anything Ducati specific I need to be aware of. On my old Honda 599 the stock bars had a hole drilled on the right hand side which lined up with a pin in the throttle so it wouldn't twist. This was a pain, and in retrospect I shouldn't have filed down the pin so much as drilled a small hole in the new bars. I'd like to avoid similar frustration with this bike.
