You SOOOO need the brushed aluminum tank that goes with all those great parts.

I can't decide either  :)

I kinda like my KTM 990 headlight. For me, the bike is classic looking enough without having a round headlight. Also, my light is substantially brighter.  [coffee]

Now that you have all that extra light, you can take off those fork reflectors  ;D

Touche - those are the new forks (from the S2R). I haven't had a chance to yet. Agree they are hideous.

yellow bikes = fastest

you should consider getting a rear mudguard.. it is very low key looking and keeps the underseat and shock free from debris.

Which one do you suggest?   My tail-chopped S2R8 came with a CF hugger (unmounted), but it has interference issues with the Zards pipes.  I've been thinking of re-attaching the chopped frame part and using the original bits.

i got my hugger from Shift-Tech and I would highly recommend it.  the only thing I wish was different was the top length -- it should be longer.  but the install was absurdly easy (it is a 2-piece setup).  i have a Sparks full exhaust..

here it is, not the best angle.. and no exhaust too.. it looks sooo cool like that..

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l309/ducatiz/DML/corner1.jpg)

and with the exhaust.. lower angle would be better

Yeah, mine is about the same look and length.  All it really does is keep muck off the shock  :)
It would be nice to have one that rolled over the tire a little further back...say 15° behind the axle.
I do not have it currently mounted...the original owner cracked it on a bump so waiting to get a stiffer spring in the back to fit it again.  Might paint it red.

I got it from Jeff @ monsterparts.com

You should check out Pompetta's (I think it's Pompetta).  He has the same screen but it's painted to match. SWEET!   I on the otherhand am to cheap and lazy to have mine painted.  That things a pregnant dog to get off and on.

Haha I know, I originally want to dark out my monster but then felt in-love with the row aluminum texture. Any idea where I can get a brushed aluminum tank ?   :)

that bike with the ktm headlight looks pretty good, that is a gread mod, now only if the bikini fairing would follow the top contour it would be perfect, wonder if a body shop could make up one custom to work with the ktm.

how much brighter is the ktm light? a lot better or only slightly better.

the double underseat exahoust on the s2r looks great that is a great look with those pipes too.

Post by: badgalbetty on December 13, 2009, 06:53:34 AM
I would imagine that the KTM headlight only puts out the same amount of candlepower as the stock headlamps, but I may be wrong. The US DOT has a standard that all manufacturers have to fiollow to .
ou can buy brighter bulbs but fitting them may or may not illegal in your state. NBest to check your local laws if you are worried about it. Most cops don't care.
Personally think that the stock headlamp is fine,I like mine it works pretty well at night if you have it aimed properly.
Have a happy day,
BGB.

Celli, that's like throwing a pic of a Victoria Secret model in when we were talking about a hot girl who works at the local ice cream store.
