Hey All...

I heard a rumor that there is a quick release kit available for the Ducati ST (I have a 2000 ST2).  I googled, but just got a bunch of sites selling Dzus fasteners.  It seems there was some different bracketry in the kit.  Am I just hearing voices in my head, or does such a thing exist.  I've heard horror stories about disassembling the fairing, and anything I can do to ease the process would be welcome.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT get this kit.

I have it on my bike and regret it.  It fits terribly, as if it was made for a different bike.  Nothing lines up correctly and you have to cut off tabs from the fairing to make it work.  Cutting off those tabs means you cannot go back.

I wish I never got it.  Yeah the older way was a pain, but only in time.  If you're not in a rush, it's not a big deal and everything fits correctly.  The kit blows.

I mentioned this on the yahoo Duc ST group, and almost everyone else who used it had the same experience.

You have been warned.
