Ducati Monster Forum

Has anyone taken a look at what they are charging for the 696 tank covers?  $380 a piece $760 a set    I mean come on.  Thats more than every carbon piece i have bought for it put together.   I wish Ducati would  cut us a freaking break during these economic times  [laugh]  It is what it is and I might wait a while to see if anyone comes out with an alternative but I'm pretty disappointed they are gouging the price like that.

Looks really nice [thumbsup] but nicer if you ditch the frame stickers and reflectors ;D

I always thought CF parts should cost more than the OEM...But in the case, even after a large shipping charge, you could get a pair or CF tank panels for around $610.  I dropped my baby not too long ago and need to replace one of the panels, guess which way I'll be going!

Nice! Please post pix when you get them on.

Question: Have you bought from this site before? I'm new and don't know which vendors are reliable other than the sponsors here.

wow those are cool.

I haven't ordered from that site before.  The links showed up in a different thread at some point.  I'm waiting for Moto Wheels to get some in, they just confirmed they still have plans to have some manufactured.

Spareshack was a sponsor in the days of TOB and had an excellent rep. 

MS.Productions (one of the suppliers to Ducati) will be releasing some high quality pre-preg Carbon Fiber tank covers soon.

Oh... Do I detect some subtle white monster jealousy?

these hurt my eyes.

flowers?  WTF!

And do I REALLY want an image of a motorcycle ON my motorcycle? There has got to be some history behind these designs, but there would be no way anyone is going to want to explain it every time someone asks, "What's with the flowers?"

IMO, they got the 80's tank covers right. But these, I just don't get. Obviously, not for me, but curious to see who these are intended for.

it has to be chicks.

That might be the intent, but I can't see many woman riding Ducs, wanting to put those on there. I mean, how many of those do they really expect to sell? But to each his/her own, I suppose. I just wish DP would supply some non-painted or blank panels for a lower price and I can get them designed/painted how I want.

$760???  Take em off and get em painted. You could get the color you want or even a cool custom job for way less than that.  That's rediculous to pay just for a color swap, jeesh.

+1

So I see all these Cfiber skins but why isnt anyone doing regular plastics?   Is there any infringement laws that prohibit them from doing that?  My girlfriends uncle has  a plastic company but they do fences and misc items.   If i could get him to do them for $400 anyone interested? ;)   I really dont want to paint the red skins.  they look so good [bow_down]  And yes i took off the reflectors .  Much better.   Where is the best place to move the sticker?

Just about done I here you say, now that`s a joke if I ever heard one [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

if you can get the sticker off in one piece, laminate it, and then stick it under the seat somewhere
