Have a look at a picture of Shakey's Monster Mob bike from last year. That's a Skidmarx Corse screen. Exactly the same as a genuine Ducati Corse one but about half the price. £40-ish from Skidmarx.

It's only the discs off the MY01 & 02 748R that had the bigger offset. Reason being they ran Ohlins forks.
