Ducati Monster Forum

I have a CW kit and although I like it better than the very large fender my 696 came with I don't love it.  Does anyone have an Evotech?  Does it hold a plate from the states or is it for the larger European plates?  Do the stock turn signals work with it?  If anyone is using it can you post a picture?  I did a search and didn't get much info.

Thanks for your help,

Jim ;D

hi jsd2. jst had mine fitted with evotech last week. unfortunately haven't had any time to get new snaps. box comes with a single piece molded Al plate with all the fixtures required. fit is undoubtedly neat.
Number plate comes with extra adapters, think that should fix any country number plate on. Gives the tidy look at almost half the price of DP. worked wonders for me [clap]

Took me almost 4 hours to get it right. Follow the instructions provided by evo. removing the OEM was pretty easy. 15 min.  Detach the main harness (found just under LH seat bolt) and swapping the OEM seat lock, tail lt and indicators will be pretty easy.  I wish evotech could jst crimp the tail light wires with the terminals provided. I had to get mine crimped from the workshop. I suggest using a water proof tape (fibreglass) to cover all the connectors to avoid any water ingress. Found them congested with debri. I had to spend some time getting the harness covered and properly secured to the base plate.

there was just one minor glitch with the kit installation manual. i had to install two washers under each of the screws which hold the seat latch. i have circled these in this pic. rest is piece of cake.

I just bought one.  It looks great.  Thanks for your help. 


Jim ;D

Looks like a Qatari plate? Correct?

yep.. no points for guessing.

My 696 went to Dani, 1100S coming tomorrow. I ordered the CW kit for it.

Hey guys!! Where did you buy these?? And how much??
tks in advance.

hey finn, is d white at the workshop urs?? BTW congrats.  [thumbsup] hope dani gave u a good deal ;)

You mean the 696 or 1100S?

Rizduc, I bought mine from Ebay, Desmoporsche. 120 USD.

Any issues with the 1100 with the module in that space?

If your looking for evotech visit. you can order from them online.

i have one of these can't rate them highly enough easy to fit and they look great
its also worth noting that they are made from aluminium so no major future corrosion issues
took 4 hours to fit, make sure you circle the seat release cable neatly
(avoiding the rear bolts when you tighten it down) and it fits easy as cake

If you fit a number plate on it try the good as nails tape adhesive its weather resistant (says it can be used outside)
and heat and cold resistant it also holds up to 50kgs in weight eliminating the need for nasty screws / bolts

The company also have a free t shirt if you order atm i had to get a medium as they ran out of large
i gave it to the wife. She will never wear it,  but its something for nothing i guess  [thumbsup]

These fit the 696 and 1100 too

Purchased my on Ebay.  $151 shipped (3 day).

Finally installed it yesterday.  Fit and finish is great.  In my opinion easier to install than the CW kit as it is all one piece.  It is nice to have the seat lock back on the side although it is still in a bad place because of the hot pipe is only inches away but better than underneath on the CW.  The CW kit tucks the plate under the bike a little better and pulls the signals in a little but overall I am very happy with the Evotech.  The only problem is the light for the license plate is very weak.  I will post a couple pictures next week.  I am having my Termis installed on Tuesday (I will get the pics after Tuesday) which unfortunately will be about a month before I have to put it away for the winter. 

Thanks for your help,

Jim [thumbsup] 

Here are some pics of the Evotech vs the CW.

If I didn't have the EvoTech I'd get yours, it is very nice Chris!

+1 on the Evotech.

BUT - important installation note!!!!!!!!  The instructions tell you to use a dab of grease on the bolts holding the tail in place, which is a terrible idea.  I did exactly that, torqued them down well, and went for a ride.  Less than 20 kms later, two were gone, and the other two were hanging on by their last threads.  How much do you want to have your tail secion falling onto your rear tire at speed?

I called Evotech and they shipped me the replacement bolts and nuts.  They also agreed that some light-hold threadlocker is a better idea than grease.

Other than that, I love the unit.  The company is top notch for customer service, too.

I used the grease to hold the rubber grommets in place, not on the bolts.... that kept them from falling off during install.

+1

I've never ridden without a rear fender before. How uncomfortable/wet does it get with a tail tidy (Evotech or other) on a Monster (796)? It appears the line from the back of the rear tire to the end of the license plate is pretty much dead vertical which suggests to me that spray cannot reach the rider. Is that right? Or can I expect to get a soaking from spray in damp weather?

New bike arriving in a couple of weeks!  :)

Expect to get soaked   [laugh]

also get used to brushing gravel off your seat everytime you get off.

also, from this thread... here is a older monster tail chopped after mud/rain:

well the coverage is way better than the CW kit, but not as good as stock, you will still get some debris and water on any of the shorter tails, but its much less prevalent than the CW

Thanks for your feedback. I'll resist for now and see how much wet weather riding I do during the imminent rainy season here in Hong Kong before deciding.
