Going to talk Upgrades with my Dealer this weekend need advice

[Brackstone]

Okay here is a list of upgrades I want done and manufacturers that I seem to like.

Shorty Levers - CRG
Frame Sliders - R&G
Horn - Stebel Nautilus
Grip - Some sort of Grip because my wrists are getting sore easy
Seat - Touring Seat, anyone own a Lowered Seat?

This may be my third bike but it's the first bike I'll be putting aftermarket parts on so I'm really new when it comes to all of this. So I have no idea if I'm picking reliable manufacturers or not, just bits and pieces I've picked up from the internets.

The Ninja I didn't keep long enough, and the Shiver had horrible aftermarket support. I really want this to be my last bike for a while. Any and ALL input is welcome, I appreciate anyone who helps me with this.

i think many dealers only sell the iems in the ducati performance catalog items so keep that in mind as you shop for parts
i like the CRG levers.

the seat does help you not slide forward into the tank as much
(i've only sat on the comfort seat and not the low one, but have heard positive feedback on both)
your wrist pain may be a result of the angle of the bars and not the grip, you could try the Rizoma bars with more sweep-back
have fun shopping and enjoy your new bike!

Thanks for the info Jeff. I know they probably won't sell some of these parts but I'll need the dealer to put it on as I'm not mechanically inclined and I don't want to start learning on my own on a 12k bike :\

Will try again later.

Try tech spec pads on your tank. They will help you grip the tank better with your knees, and help take pressure off your wrists. All those parts are really easy to install and require only a walmart tools. You should give it a try.
