Kes if you lift the tank and can see a hole cut above where the top of the filter is in the airbox lid then its likely its got the DP airfilter lid. There are some pics of this in the sportclassic forum on the ducati.ms list though I cant remember which posts. They may be able you tell you what the part number is for the DP ECU.
As to mag wheels must admit I fitted them to mine as I wanted tubeless wheels and hate cleaning spokes, so mine are still nice and shiney in the shed, who knows maybe the original tyres will become worth something .

Not sure who supplies these in the UK but someone will probably know.
Those are gorgeous! I want some badly. Do you know how much and where from? the website seems a bit vague.

There is some information on U.S. pricing here:

Alpine Wheel Dealer! - Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum

This U.S. firm has Alpina wheels but doesn't list Ducati bikes:

Alpina Wheels

This U.K. outfit seems to sell Alpina wheels for supermotos, might be worth contacting them to see if they can offer the size you need for your PS:

Motobits.net - For all your biking needs

Perhaps these people may be able to help? They are in London:

Corsa Italiana Ltd. www.apriliasupermoto.com

Good luck with your search & keep us posted.

easier way to find out whether race ecu fitted is the lambda sensor will be missing, look for what looks like a sump plug in the link pipe.

Cheers Darren,
I'll go looky.
On the subject of the wheels.....F**K ME! they're a bit on the pricey side. Here's the email reply I got:
Hi Kes

We can sell you a set of Alpina wheels for your PS....

Retail = $2850 USD
Your price = $2280 USD + $100 shipping from Italy to your location in the UK. I am guessing about your location. VAT and/or any Duty Tax would be your responsibility.

Thanks for the inquiry,
Phil


I make that about £2K....for a set of wheels!

Mind, they are truly gorgeous
