Title: picture of the Mopnster which has inspired mine Post by: weemonster on April 22, 2009, 02:59:46 PM i finally got round to fixing my scanner enough for it to take a medium quality scan.
Some of you may recognise this pic its from the 98 Ducati performace Monster Brochuure.

seat cowl pipes belly pan steering damper rearsets oil head-lines (my 1999 doesn't have those) for preload adjusters, maybe? chain guard Title: Re: picture of the Mopnster which has inspired mine Post by: stopintime on April 22, 2009, 03:06:13 PM Damn, that's a good looking bike [moto]
I can see how that's inspiring [thumbsup] Any pictures of yours? Title: Re: picture of the Mopnster which has inspired mine Post by: weemonster on April 22, 2009, 03:17:12 PM i'm doing if bit by bit.

Title: Re: picture of the Mopnster which has inspired mine Post by: junior varsity on April 22, 2009, 03:25:38 PM If you've got a stock triple setup - the kind using the standard style bar riser (I think it works with SpeedyMoto's as well) there are top mount damper options.
Otherwise, there are several companies selling frame mount "purse-snatcher" mounting kits, to which you would only need provide a damper. An Ohlins generic 68mm is what I used for my below-the-triple mount, and would work, as would many others for the side mount. To the OP, you may want to consider the billet below-the-triple mount, since you have an older framed monster. All the benefits, without having it on the side of the bike.

I couldnt name a single bike, but all the monsters that i looked at, amazed me at how the owner can shape it to their own personality. Its really quite amazing to see people turn one bike into an all around town scooter, a twisty destroyer, or a decked out touring duty naked. The only problem? deciding which mods NOT to do.

Man, something surprises me everyday. :) Title: Re: picture of the Mopnster which has inspired mine Post by: weemonster on April 25, 2009, 07:48:56 AM thanks for posting the pics. I'll have to have a look see where i can get one like that from.

I have mine on the side and would prefer it under the triple. KNG That's one creative way of fitting the damper.

They are really helpful, and may have something for your bike. It doesn't stick out on the sides really, and you can lean way over and adjust it while moving if you really needed to (note: not suggested. you can adjust it while sitting on the bike to accommodate city riding vs track style riding. I wouldn't be haulin' ass down the highway and tinkering with it)
