[Ducati] Engine cases- are all late-model cases the same?

[Alex]

The desmodue engine cases for same-year are 
identical.  Desmoquattro/testa engines are fundamentally different all around.

If you can find a same-year Monster, you are fine.

a 750 will have smaller cylinder holes.  Can be bored 
open.  otherwise, identical.

YMMV for different years.
