If You Were An Owner..........

You can change the sensitivity. Mine is set so it will chirp if someone is within about 2 arm's length, and the full alarm will sound if someone touches the bike. If the full alarm goes off, I get a text on my cell- great for catching coworkers admiring your bike.

My choices/priorities and the order of upgrades I've done (I have the base model) -

1) Replace seat. The stock one feels like you're riding a 2x4. DP Comfort seat much better.
2) Footpegs. Don't like the slippery feel to the stock ones. Replaced with the Rizoma available ones. The stock rearsets (along with the additional +inch height of the DP seat) work just fine for me. So I just wanted the replacement footpegs.
3) Tailtidy. The stock tail is ugly. Put on a Rizoma tail tidy (used the stock rear turn signals as I have no issue with them). Much nicer appearance.

Don't really care about carbon bling. I anticipate my next mod/upgrade will be lighter wheels. Either magnesium or (depending on what I hear in reviews from others) possibly a set of the BST carbon ones.

charlie,
how'd you like the rizoma tail tidy. I bought the dp one and didn't like it so pulled it off.

You know the euro ducati turn sigs are identical to the US ones but about 1" shorter. Some guys have gone with those. Thread on it somewhere. I've thought about changing to them.

I like the Rizoma tail tidy. Some minor issues with how it mounts up (would have been easier if they had done the holder plate bolts the same way as the stock one but like I said, minor...).
Was out at NPR today for first svc and Noah complimented on how nice it looked (or, at least, how nice an install I did). The turn signal size doesn't bother me so I used the stock ones but perhaps I'll track down the euro-ducati ones you reference when I have some idle time/money.
I did have to drill a second hole in the turn signal bracket to accept the stock Duc ones (minor point).
But no cutting/splicing of wiring. I'm pleased with the way it looks. It's a good product.

let me clarify. the difference between the carbon i get and RC or bestem. i get all my carbon in FULL carbon not a blend. yes its from china and i can assure you its very high quality. quote from my stealership. wow this is from china in full carbon. they are making some good stuff.

I also use shift tech on certain items that i cannot get from china. air ducts were a recent purchase and i am thinking about the swing arm cover. i will post pics of my bike after i put on the air duct covers.

The Scorpio has a battery backup, so you can't just disconect the battery. You'd have to remove the alarm, which first means you have to find it and remove all the fairings to get it out. I don't think anyone would attempt that in the middle of a parking lot with the alarm sounding (mine has the perimeter sensor). If someone just throws the bike in a truck, then the GPS would track them. Nice thing about the Scorpio is that I can do the tracking myself instead of having to rely on the police (like lojack). You're right, the alarm won't replace broken plastic. No plan is without a few flaws, but I just don't trust insurance companies to get my bike fixed or replaced in perfect condition and in a timely manner without getting screwed myself (higher premiums or lost time). Anyway, I just have to make my bike harder to get than your's
