Hi all newbie here...some advice please..
 

hi all
im a massive Ducati fan but admitedly lacking in some knowledge. I am currently looking at an 04 Dark. It looks perfect and i have placed a deposit, however one query is the top light of the three is recessed as opposed to sitting above the screen.
I have questioned the dealer and he has advised that this is due to an aftermarket higher screen which means the light is recessed as suggested. He as assured me there is nothing untoward about this. I have not been able to find any pictures on the internet to put my mind at rest.

If you experienced lot could just reassure me i would be very greatful.

Hope to speak to yall soon.

Cheers.

Welcome fab, I don't have one of the new fangled thingy's so can't help but I'm sure someone will be along shortly who can.

Hope you enjoy the club, lots of good advice and people around.

It's customary for newbie's to get a drink in at the bar so I'll have a Bailey's on ice please.

Ta :D

I would not worry about it, i have an after market screen and removed the blimp light :) its only there for the US market anyway as they have a light hight regulation

Whoo hoo!

Cheers guys, im looking forward to being part of a rather nice club!

Looks very nice site and i already feel welcome.

Cheers! :D

Oh yeah and the drinks are on order, should be here shortly:P

Mine is recessed behind an aftermarket screen. Not an issue except at night when at first you notice it but soon get used to it and forget it's there.

Welcome.

Hello and welcome, and since you are at the bar I'll have a 'depth charge' please................just the one should do the trick.:devil:

Hi, and welcome. Pint of bitter would be nice thanks.

Be thankful it is recessed ... before I changed the screen for an aftermarket one without the light it was always just in my field of vision over the top of the screen.

ttstu, just unplug it and throw it in a box for when/if you sell the bike.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Im picking it up on saturday now and cant wait.
Hopefully the weather is going to be a little better than the past few days so i can get some quality riding done! :burn:

Welcome and mines a double ,anything just make sure its a double!
throw the light away -it will look much better without it.
And dont worry about what bling to buy for your baby ,theres plenty of lads on here to advise you-please dont ask me ,i'm not into bling!

Not into bling!!! - and what was that you were riding today then? A standard 748???? ;)

Welcome!

You'll not look back and you will see your wallet start to rapidly empty as you see more and more bits to bolt on. :)

Tricky
749 Dark owner totally hooked and wanting an R model now

Got a Ducati Performance higher screen on my 749s and the nipple light is indeed behind the screen as opposed to the standard.
