This photo was taken this past weekend at Big Sur/PCH via an 800-mile route.

Model: 2011 Ducati 696

Weight without a full tank of gas is about 340lbs at the moment.

Mods:
Leo Vince Evo One Slip-on Exhaust
Custom Tan Vinyl Seat
Custom Tan Tank pads x3
Full QuadLock system (wireless charging head, pro arm, auto battery switch)
Antigravity HD battery with restart
Motogadget Spy Flip barend mirrors/

Next up on potential mods, though I'm thinking of just keeping her as is and getting a different bike to supplement:

i have the andreani in my s2r . best money spent on a motorcycle. unless you can beat this . my rear shock was new off a 999 and i traded two bottles of wine for it. once you get planted you can really start ride and not just drive.

Interesting. I would go further with the black to make it two-tone.

Powder coat the rear sets (or replace if riding solo)
Black vinyl wrap the forks
Powder coat/VHT paint the shock spring in black

That is a pretty interesting take. I've got a very longterm goal of blacking out my bike down to the bolts (Podium Racing is it?), nice to see that you've done some yourself.

Definitely agree with the previous posts. Especially the suspension: do it!!! The Andreanis (+ your favorite rear shock) are probably the best mod to these bikes. Total gamechanger, especially once it's all set up proper.
