Where did you get that plate for the top of your triple - the one covering the bar mounts?

Nice! Where did you get that plate for the top of your triple - the one covering the bar mounts? Its the stock plate with some custom shorter risers. The "Ducati" was cut into it using a tracer machine using THE Ducati lettering- straight from ducati, the shop that did it went above and beyond and contacted ducati and they sent them the official lettering which i thought was very cool of them Hate it [evil] Just kidding, looks great. How do you like the new posture? Clip-ons put too much pressure on my wrists, especially during longer rides. Keep up the good work [thumbsup] I love the new posture, i'm a bit of a taller guy (6'1) and it really is working out nice for me, I can ride all day long... must be the only 23 year old back [moto] Title: Re: Some holiday weekend mods Post by: COP TZR on October 23, 2009, 02:33:16 PM What year is your bike? I noticed you mounted the clip-ons above the top triple clamp. Did that affect handling alot? I have a set of clip-ons to install, but not sure if I should mount them above or below the top clamp. My rear suspension is raised also. I've got a 2000 Monster 750 "DARK". I'm 6' tall too.
Title: Re: Some holiday weekend mods Post by: tankerbutt on October 26, 2009, 05:21:12 AM My bike is an 2001 M600. the clipons in general affected the handling, not sure if above or below makes the bigger difference. As far as mounting them above the triple, it felt better. I had them below but it was REALLY low, didn't feel right. I notice that i don't use the handlebars as leverage as much anymore, but more my body. Hope this helps, any more questions let me know
Title: Re: Some holiday weekend mods Post by: COP TZR on October 30, 2009, 11:59:59 AM Do you know if you speedo/tach cluster will work on my 2000 750? My speedo is cable driven, and I would really like to install a tach. Is your speedo cable driven? Is there a round harness plug at the back of the cluster? I'm wondering if I could make that style you have work on my bike.
What I meant to ask about the handling of your bike was if it steers too sharp now. I see you've raised the rear ride height and have lowered the front substantially (raise the fork legs). Thats why I'm wondering if I should mount my clipons above or below. If they go above the tree, I would have to raise the fork legs at least 1.25". Might be too much. |
