With the permission of Graham at The Image Works', I can let everyone know that the ebay seller known as The Reverend Dogposture and the company known as The Image Works are one and the same. The decal kits sold either directly or through ebay are the identical kit.
UK & EU customers have the option of buying the decals either on ebay or directly from The Image Works. North American customers can only buy the decals directly from The Image Works in the UK. Begin by going to The Image Works' site, enter and click CONTACT US. Two emails, a paypal session, and you're done.
Apparently, Ducati North America has prevented The Reverend Dog Posture from fulfilling sales of the decal kits to customers in North America. This includes the USA, Canada and Mexico. However, if North American customers were to contact Graham at The Image Works directly, then you can conclude a purchase via PayPal. And you'd end up with the aforementioned museum quality decal kit our UK & EU brethren enjoy. I did it, and so far, so good.
Ducati's injunction to The Image Works seems to be in line with Ducati's active and passive efforts to choke off supplies of parts to anything built before 1992. Anyone who has tried to buy a part through a regular Ducati dealer will know that Ducati N.A. has advised their dealers to destroy all microfische and parts lists dating from 1991, on back. One or two enterprising dealerships continue to defy this directive, but they are in the minority.
I'll continue to support those dealerships and companies like The Image Works. Even though I love my Paso and if truth be told, all things Ducati, I certainly do not love what Ducati is doing against their own "heritage owners". We keep the flame alive in many respects. Besides, how would new owners really understand the depth of Ducati's engineering prowess through the years without our crusty old bikes around to illustrate the point?
Alas, that's the subject of another thread.
