And I mean little. These tiny Proti bolts for the windscreen look great. And some pieces off to the anodisers. I will send the Proti bolt so hopefully they can match the colour.

Also included a little photo of my latest mod to the trailer. LED light (removable) mounted on an upside down pool fence post. Cost only $15.

Light setup is very cool!
Are the four washers in the middle picture the caliper spacers?
Nice tiny little windshield screws :), I see you have some sort of protective foil on your bike?
 
Pro Ti has some very nice stuff!

Been using the podium racing brand myself, and have been quite pleased.. waiting on my ti windscreen bolts.

So what power source does that LED light run off of?
 
i have pro ti bolts all fairing bolts wind screen bolts too in gold looks great also have calipers sprockets etc but i stopped couldnt do them all thousands in just bolts

I put this on all my bikes - practically invisible - and it's great stuff. My 1199 is over three years old now and the front is immaculate. My riding buddy with a bike at least a year younger than mine has tiny chips on nose and leading front fairings. Probably as he always rides behind me!!!!! :D
Here's a link to where I get the 3M, pre-cut material from.
TheTankSlapper.biz - The Product

Gecko,
Its Tankslapper 3M, full kit. When this forum first started tank slapper was a popular topic and everyone was putting on their bikes. I think its great but can be hard to put on. There are a few tricks with it.

If you do it well from a metre away you do not know its there.

Its like a womens fashions on this forum, things come into fashion like a 41 tooth upgrade, Tuneboy, fender eliminators etc. I bet the subject of paint protection will rise again because of your comment.

Yes the four spacers are from the front callipers. The Proti bolt I will send for colour matching.

The trailer was a fun project. There is a toolbox on the front. I installed a waterproof female socket on the outside which goes into a junction box on the inside. I get the light out of the tool box, slip the hollow post over the staunchion that holds the spare tyre and plug it in. The cord also has a switch I installed.

The power comes from the car when plugged in. I am considering putting a battery in there. Trailer has reversing lights and a reversing buzzer as well. All lights are LED. I also resprayed it myself. I love tinkering with stuff. Actually getting the trailer ready for a big road trip. May pick up another Ducati.

Where did you get these bolts and price if you don't mind :)

Its the Proti Windscreen kit. Its only about $22 USD. Once you go to the site be prepared to spend, its addictive.

Tell Sherwood I sent you. He will not remember me :D
 
Proto ?

Hi Cristian

Do you happen to mean Proti bolts and equipment?
If you are interested in them and would like some leverage in obtaining them with a considerable price break, send me a PM and perhaps I can assist you my fellow member?

BellissiMoto - PROTI Fully Forged Titanium Fasteners for Racing

What I'm about to say is NOT meant to come off as conceited or anything stuck up in any way whatsoever, it's just the full truth which some members here do actually know as such. In fact it's something I feel proud of honestly.

You will find that Bellissimoto is the only US distributor of Proti products, and that is 99% due to my personal assistance by initially becoming friends with the President of the Company and after making a few purchases of my own thru him, I then introduced him to Randy who owns Bellissimoto and after multiple discussions between us all eventually had a sole distribution contract signed between a both parties to introduce these incredibly awesome items into the US bloodstream.

Call them too expensive and perhaps too much bling, but if you seriously read about the products in depth you will in fact see they are built a bit different than other items of the same type, and truly are a high quality piece of gear! Does someone really need such high priced bolts, nuts, fasteners and other components?? - Absolutely NOT! I may be one of the most brainwashed Ducati fiends ever, like so many on this forum, and know how ridiculous most Ducati parts and accessories are priced as well, but I personally don't mind paying the extra cash for these quality products - probably since I know how good they're made and the discount I obtain by purchasing thru Belli & Proti ;) At least forum members do get a small discount from them, and trust me, at many times Randy & Lyle will discount many of their items deeper if they can- and everyone should at least inquire when ordering from them.

So if pricey, bling factored, Titanium nuts and bolts are what you REALLY want (don't forget high quality!) then simply get them for the bike you no doubt paid a good amount of money for too! Every possible bolt on my Tricolore is filled with a Proti bolt and I still even have many extras in their absolutely fantastic boxed packaging in my garage if anyone wants to come by and pick out what you can use on your ride! As usual I went on entirely too long in my replies so will sign off now before I put you to sleep! Obviously, I truly believe Proti is an outstanding product that you will actually be impressed with upon first seeing the unreal packaging boxes I spoke of. Treat yourself to the very best just as you did when you elected to purchase one of the most exotic and hottest motorcycles on the road today!

Very True

I actually forgot that you can in fact purchase directly from Proti off their ebay accounts as well (Is that where you got them Brad or did you go right to the company itself?)

If you do go this route, I assure you my good friend Sherwood will no doubt be shocked if you drop my name to him! Lmao. One of the greatest guys ever and will soon be coming to my home to visit! Unless I get over to him first! Lol.

Thanks for the reminder Brad!

Gunny my main man,
I just order thru their main website. If there is ever an issue then Sherwood deals with you personally by email and it gets sorted.

Hey Gunny if you do see him tell I said hello. He always gets my surname and christian mixed up but I am sure he will remember me.

I like the quality of his bolts.
 
Expensive as hell and kinda crazy but the bolts are one of the first things people go nuts about when they check out my bike up close. I'm one of the ones who has purchased their entire kit which was a hard pill to swallow for sure and I guess I'm lookin to buy some more if I can make sure some of the other bolts on the bike are the same size and fit, regardless of what it's specifically made for.
