Ducati Monster Forum

Hey guys,

I've got a '99 Monster Dark 600 and I'm looking to freshen up her looks with a bit of carbon fibre bodywork. I'll definitely be getting a CF belly pan for the bike, but I don't want to go overboard on the CF. I've scoured the boards with the search engine to try and find some examples but their fairly far and few between.

So I was wondering if people who've customized their own Monster Darks with CF, would fancy posting up some pics for me to draw some inspiration from? ;D Any recommendations would also be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,
    I am trying to do the same thing with my 05 620 Dark.  I am looking for the same type of information.

I really like that rear hugger.  Where did you get that?  thanks

Thanks kopfjager, love those red touches with the forks and the clutch cover.

I can't remember, one of the European suppliers. I will try and dig it up.

I painted all of my CF satin black  ;D

kopfjager's to-do list:
1. ceramic coat headers and midpipes black
2. paint radiator black
3. powdercoat swingarm black
4. anodize/powdercoat fork bottoms black
5. re-route oil line
6. make bike dirty and take a pic

 [cheeky]  I love to spend other people's money   ;D

P.S. I have pod filter envy

Does the CF show through the paint?  Thanks for the inspiration

kopfjager, are your forks anodized or is that vinyl???

Marzocchi SBK forks. They come anodized red.

Very nice!  [thumbsup] Do you have any side-on photos that show the bike a little clearer?

I just got this bike last week, but there is a bunch of CF

sorry, my first pic post went bad...this should be right,
CF Fenders, pipes,instrument casing, side panels and tank guard...

Very nice! Are the handlebars clip-ons?  [popcorn] Keep 'em coming guys!

yes,the bars are clip-ons...

i was never into CF on the monsters. no offense to people with CFed out bikes, they all look amazing,

but in my experience all CF exposed to the elements will look like crap in a year or two.
Even a 999 i saw at the dealer (salesmans bike with CF body panels) looked like garbage in the places it was exposed

i went through a 'CF phase' with my car, and regret every peice i bought except for one (and subsequently replaced everything CF)

to each their own of course, i will continue to admire people who can keep up with the maintenence or replacement of CF panels on their bikes, but me? ill be painting all CF parts. (cans are the exception to the rule)

- i should mention there is little sexier than a brand new dark weave panel in the rain at night lit by streetlamps! yeah! but on the otherside there is nothing UGLIER than yellowed out panels
