Put the Ducati tail rack on today. The thing came disassembled with multiple screws, bolts, spacers, washers, springs and somethings they call pins. Surprising as I am one of the most least mechanically inclined folks ever it went together quite easily. I just followed the directions!

jerdog, let us know how the output is compared to stock. Did you have to modify anything to fit the unit?
 
I took before and after pictures of the high beam as the low is the one burned out and from looking at the pictures you can't tell the difference. It will be at least a week before it warms up enough here for a night ride....
 
Started the installation of my new heated grips. What is interesting they are sleeves. They are not like other grips I had to glue on. The right side has the throttle mech built into it. They are bolt on. Now in need to get the front off to find the connections. Then ride to the dealer and have the computer activated.

I can not wait!

Did you go with the standard 3800L or super bulb they offer?

I installed the 3800L model. It's a bit low (need to adjust) and the beam is a bit scattered. Low beam doesn't have a lot of throw but I feel the high beam is an improvement. Definitely doesn't match the youtube video I saw from one installed on a Motard.

Honestly, I treat motorcycle lamps as "don't hit me" beacons, so high beam is more important to me as I have aux driving lamps for actually seeing where I'm going. *Though it doesn't put out as much light from the saddle as I expected, when you look at it from 20 yards away, the LEDs are certainly more noticeable than the stock halogen. Hard to explain but better from a "be scene" aspect. It perfectly matches the stock LED parking lamps, too. I know you get dirty and probably have different needs.

Install is pretty easy. You have to fung-shui the relay and splice box but it all fits. I may get better results after adjusting the beam.
 
Zard!!

I opened a box and got really excited. Titanium and carbon, oh my!

Very well built. No installation instructions, but should be fairly straight forward.

It weighs 3 lbs 14 ounces. I wonder how that compares to stock?

I also think my neighbours are going to hate me.

Hi, I'm new here. Last weekend I installed the Fabbri GEN-X Touring Screen and disconnected the actuator cable for the exhaust servo motor.
I'm pretty pleased with the results of both mods. Wind noise is a little louder now but my exhaust sounds better so it's a fair trade in my book.
 
My newest mod. I deconstructed the overly large Ducati Top Case to remove the quick release/keyed mounting bracket, and installed it on a much smaller tail bag. The bag is a National Cycle 4L rear storage compartment, and it works perfect on the bike for when I need to only carry a few items on a ride.

Just tail bag:

Sorry for the ****** iPhone 5S pictures.. I was in a rush to get on the road.
 
Haha.. thanks guys. Managed to take the strada out on Mission Raceway yesterday against a whole hoard of sport bikes and the darn thing did pretty good. Although I think if I was to do it again, I'd have to remove the center stand. I was dragging that everywhere on the track.
 
Naw it's just the picture. It's a 939 low version and the new suspension actually raised the bike up a bit. Rides like a whole new bike.

Ohh... low version that makes sense :)

I put on a new MRA windscreen and some red mounting brackets for my LED lights. Still unsure how I feel about them. They definitely accentuate the styling effort I put into them and are more flashy, but I might prefer the stealth black that I originally went with. I hope to test out the windscreen this week!

Lookin' good
 
Proof that last Saturday I was on the track. I'll say this, the hyper was an absolute brute on the track compared to my normal track toy WR450 Supermoto.. I definitely noticed the extra weight and power compared to the old carburated 450cc bike, but it took me a little while to build up enough trust/confidence to late brake the hell out it without worrying about brake fade.
