[Ducati] Wheel weights

[2vtwin at comcast.net]

Rear hugger is a DP part, they also make the chain guard in CF. BTW the work on the S2R is mild compared to my M900, she is my favorite and the one I ride the most. http://www.mad-ducati.com/GalleryShow.php?SeqId=2&GalleryId=394 The S2R is great on the track though - Gene
