dumbest.question.ever.
Okay, I just picked up my 2000 Hawk and took it in for inspection. I haven't really done anything with it since I bought it about a year ago. Loaded on the truck, I see the little chin fairing is held on with zip ties. This is the little stub of a fairing that tucks under the front of the motor. On the right hand side, there's a bolt but the left hand side just has a zip tie and I can't see where a bolt is missing or would go. Surely she didn't come from the factory with a friggin zip tie? Any info?

Negatory, there are mounting points. I think you can see the inside one on the e-bay link:

But I luv me some zip ties!

Ducati's come with zip-ties all over them from the factory; they can't be that bad! Strong, light, inexpensive, come in all different colors/sizes, adjustable, replaceable, weather proof... you can repair ABS plastics with them or hide wiring, they don't fall out from vibration and come heat resistant. You can even make a chair out of them:

Make sure the clip/s is on the headlight surround for the little bolt to thread into through the inner panel part of the fairing. And yup a zip tie can be used as a bodge to hold it all together.
