Installed Rizoma crash guard + PP carbon windshield
Few more things arrived this week and had my dealer install.
I was lucky to find a PP owner that did not want his carbon windshield and wanted in exchange my adjustable levers from my Diavel (levers were black & red so matched his PP scheme  ). I was stoked! 
Here are the pics.
and the pièce de résistance!
oh... and the barkbuster guards.

Looks great. Thanks for the pics of the Rizoma slider/crash things - I've been thinking about those as well as an alternative to the crash bars - which which would be a lot heavier and obtrusive.
What axle sliders did you use?

Dude...nice setup! Looks great... I think I have to draft right behind you and order the Rizoma guards and Barkbusters now.

Bike looks great!
What sort of shop are you working in? I spot a few other tasty Italians in the background

Thanks for the compliment guys!
I forgot to mention that I had the rear 100 N/mm spring installed as well. It makes a huge difference in ride quality. I weigh 220lb.(100kg) naked.  The ride feels plush without unnecessary spring motion, yet firm enough. Do I make sense? That's the best I can describe the difference.

I've been waiting to see it in a picture as well (other than the Rizoma factory pictures) but haven't been able to find one. So, I just dove in. I wish it was a bit more robust like the one for the Diavel. It seems a bit small for the MTS1200, but overall I'm very satisfied.
I installed CNC Racing sliders on the front and Rizoma sliders on the rear hub.
Here's a link to my other thread with pictures. MTS1200 blinged out in gold

The one and only Ducati dealer in Chile is an Aston Martin dealer as well so they get lots of high end trade-ins or consignments. You see a white Lambo on the right and a red Ferrari up on the lift. Good eye!

Yes, I had the dealer install all the parts because I just don't have the time to work on my bikes any more. Used to work on my bikes at night but got in the habit of working on them till the wee hours of the morning so I quit doing that. Besides, I live at an apartment complex with an underground garage and the lighting isn't that great... no place to plug lights either. I had to wear those "miners" light thing.

Nice~
Now... How to get rid of the Pikes Peak label under the clear coat...
Any ideas? Not really important to remove/cover the lettering but would be nice. Don't want to misrepresent. Not that anybody would mistake for one.

Personally, I'd just leave it. I don't think you need to worry about "misrepresenting" anything.
But if you did want to remove it, perhaps a good pin striping artist could go over it with white, so it matches the other side, and then you could add more clear coat?
