This is the plastic sprocket cover that comes on the S2R. It’s grey. Ducati should have made it black.

This is the chain guard that was absolutely filthy and faded from the sun. Time to black it out.

Previous owner had to drill out the original mirror stem on the right hand side. Half of the upper allen bolt was still attached to the master cylinder. I had to drill that out to get the bracket off.

If you going to change the oil on a Ducati you’re going to need a torque wrench. Love buying new tools.
