Default Buying an ST3

I took my Monster to Barber, great on the back roads but when we had to get on the Interstate the lack of wind protection on my legs was a killer. Anyway, keeping the Monster and picking up a new ST3 for long trips. So I have a few questions:
1. Have not found any source for exhausts, except for DP - are there any yet? Also in the catalog they list two versions of the cans but do not say what the difference is, anbody know?
2. In the DP catalog they list a fairing comfort kit, Is this a taller shield?
3. The bike I am purchasing is a leftover and it's silver, would prefer red or yellow but cannot pass up the deal. Would you dress this up with CF fenders, CF fairing parts or do some paintwork, like maybe racing stripes painted on it?
4. What are some common performance mods for this bike?
5. Who is the best supplier of goddies for this bike?

Thanks for any info

1. Don't know
2. Yes, taller shield, bar risers
3. Shure, why not
4. Check out the ST list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ST2_Owners
TONS of info on mods. Typically people get exhaust, then performance ECU, then start lightening things like clutch and flywheel.
5. Too many to list. It depends on the specific part you're looking for.

Check out Staintunes, I bought these for my '05 ST3, getting them put on this week!!! Staintunes were the only other ones that I could find that had cans listed specific to the ST3. Here is a link you can take a look....

I have an appointment with Fast By Ferracci for pipes, filter, power commander. I'm getting mixed reviews on this. When I had my 02' Lemans, I did a stucchi crossover and the FBF pipe with power commander, worked great. But that was for a Moto Guzzi. Dealer suggested sticking with DP products. Anybody got an opinion?

I think you should get the DP setup, it's made for the bike. In fact, if you were a real man, you'd get 2 and give the other to your buddy there that's got the RED ST3. Red, as everyone knows, is the only color for Ducatis.
