Title: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: DesmoDisciple on January 09, 2009, 11:59:02 PM Has anyone ever seen a cowl like the ones on the Sport 1000S (photo below) or the Paul Smart machines on a monster?
I'm sure someone makes these aftermarket. Trying to envision what that would look like, so I guess I need do do some photoshopping.....

Post by: Drunken Monkey on January 10, 2009, 12:32:58 PM There used to be a Ducati Performance "sport tail" (or some such) that was a bit like what you described.
Don't know if they're still available, however. Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: DesmoDisciple on January 10, 2009, 02:29:21 PM I sorry guys, I was being stupid. I mean the front fairing, not the cowl.
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: Raux on January 10, 2009, 02:37:09 PM there is a DP nose piece . if you do a search on here for the racing 620s you will see a yellow one with it on there.
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: DarkStaR on January 10, 2009, 03:24:21 PM Looks better on the sportclassic.
Doesn't work as well with the tank and frame of the monster. Just my .02c Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: Turf on January 10, 2009, 07:49:47 PM Looks better on the sportclassic. Doesn't work as well with the tank and frame of the monster. Just my .02c I'm in the other boat I think it looks fantastic, planned on doing it to the dug after it relinquishes it's touring and commuter duties. Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: teddy037.2 on January 11, 2009, 12:57:54 PM saw a pic... was it on TOB? a guy w/a monster had mounted one of those vintage fairings... it looked really good
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: DesmoDisciple on January 11, 2009, 01:17:49 PM I'm actually not sure how it would look, but I love those vintage farings. I would love to at least mock it up and see what it looked like.
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: teddy037.2 on January 11, 2009, 01:47:50 PM :edit:
found it on TOB. couldn't open the photo because I wasn't logging in. but, being a vintage part, it's not so bulky like the SC fairing, which looks pretty good w/the monster tank. Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: Raux on January 11, 2009, 10:19:48 PM here it is on the yellow one.

Post by: Raux on January 12, 2009, 01:46:31 PM cool. i like those kits. but if you are going that route, why not just get an old SS
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: flynbulldog on January 14, 2009, 08:58:18 AM Actually this pic does have a monster with a race fairing...
Uhmm, all of them... (http://i33.tinypic.com/1z8x7d.jpg) Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster?

(http://i33.tinypic.com/1z8x7d.jpg) i'm pretty sure he specifically meant the vintage euro-cafe front fairing like the sport1000 has. Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: Mojo S2R on January 14, 2009, 06:52:01 PM It's been done.

Post by: Mojo S2R on January 15, 2009, 03:15:30 AM No problem. Me likey [thumbsup] (except for that number plate)
Title: Re: Racing cowl on a monster? Post by: teddy037.2 on January 15, 2009, 11:18:09 PM the plate makes sense, seein' as how it was a track bike... and the vintage sort of look

Heres where to get that particular fairing, originally for the SV650 you should be able to adapt it for the monster. |
