Save your money on those headlight bulbs. Hotter lamps don't do much
with the stock ST lighting. The reflector and lens design are
inferior and gobble up most of the gains from brighter lamps. The
pattern of the light wastes moste of what is available (especially
the high beam). Also, there is a possibility of headlight damage from
excessive heat generated by higher wattage lamps.
I am developing a replacement headlight assembly for the ST models
that should be in production by the spring. It will produce a much
brighter and correctly distributed output, and be a drop in assembly.
Stay tuned!

Established owners of these fine bikes are well past the upgrading phase and new owners of 10-15 year old bikes are just not likely to install such an expensive upgrade. The cost to keep inventory on the shelf to be able to support reasonable lead times is just not justified by such a low run rate, and the product does not lend itself to "build to order" manufacturing. If a "group buy" were organized in the future, I might be able to fill it.

It is very rewarding that so many of you have put your trust in me and the product and discovered that riding after dark doesn't have to be frightening. But by far the biggest reward is the scores of life-long friends I have made along the way. I will continue to look for innovative products to offer and hopefully, keep Ducati Designs sailing for the foreseeable future.
