Think the postage might cost a bit Harv.
Marks in Portugal again I believe.
Sure theres a member who does spraying and is supposed to be v good.
Cant remember who was talking not so long ago but also Yellow Bip is a bit of a painter too, worth an email for nowt.

You are wrong mate.
You can not use the rear light mounting plate for the mono as you had on the bip.
Mono is a flat plate while bip is angled to allow for the pillion pad.
Most other bits are same but as you said it is necessary to have the spacers in there to raise the seat unit.
You dont need all the bits on the list Jasp posted but you do need most.
Here is the link to the Ducati website page for the '00 996 so you can see what you need and what you have which might do.
Dont need these
866.1.023.1A Right hand pad
866.1.024.1A Left hand pad
Front hinge and pins will swap, rear locating pin will do and a few of the nuts and washers but you will see when you check it out.

Get all your part numbers and ring your local dealer, if none local you could try JHP?
