If it bothers you, then a few stainless bolts would cost pennies relative to the cost of the bike. Anyway, I doubt the disc fixings are much different between different Ducati models.

That's like dismissing a second-hand car because the ashtrays were full!

PS I think the KB referred to is kwikbitch, or some such.
actually i like the multistrada and my observation on the disc bolts was purely that - when i last test rode one i didn't like the vibration when you put the front brakes on either, but the concept makes alot of sense especially for 90% of the riding i seem to do at the moment. the disc fixing on the MTS 1000 is peculiar to that model - i think you will find. Oh and some people won't buy secondhand cars previously owned by smokers. Thanks for everyones advice - will see what deal i can get.
