Ducati Monster Forum

I live in NJ. I bought this bike about 2 months ago, my first Ducati (coming from Suzuki SV650). Mods are Rizoma rearsets and passenger pegs, speedymoto pressure plate with Rizoma cover, rizoma reservoirs and levers, Rizoma fender eliminator, Rizoma classic mirrors, and carbon fiber rear hugger and exhaust guards.

I also have an Oberon clutch slave cylinder, Rizoma cam shaft covers, and speedymoto sprocket cover (not pictured).

Next steps are getting the handlebars, risers, and headlight powder coated.

Let me know your thoughts.

I didn't know they put out a 110S.  :D

aww come on first post, give the guy a break.

You also have the Rizoma oil filler plug [bacon]
I like Rizzzzomaaa.
Are the grips stock? Which bar end sliders are those?

Overall well modded bike [thumbsup] Further plans?

How do you like it compared to the previous?

And ..... welcome to the DMF!

Gold and white...I like it!  [thumbsup]

It's the ultra-efficient commuter bike, 300mpg

Thanks.  The grips are Oury, definitely more cushion than stock.  The barends are Motovation universals.  The bike has some similarities to the Suzuki since both are V/L-twins, but I love the torque of the Ducati and also the sound of the exhaust.  The Suzuki is smooth, rock-solid, and quick starting.  But the Ducati just has a great overall feel and the power is obviously a notch above.

My plans also include a full Termi setup and adding 3 teeth to the rear sprocket with gold chain and gold sprocket carrier.  I've also have some frame sliders to put on and a couple more small carbon bits.  I am a huge fan of the Rizoma stuff too.  The Rizoma and carbon fiber has been addictive.

 ;D 8) [thumbsup]

Sounds like a well thought out plan.  Love the gold accent!  Well done!

oh yeah... love the gold bits  [thumbsup]   

Your Rizoma Aero turnsignals look great and I really like the Rizoma levers too - are they reach-adjustable on both sides?  But Rizoma classic mirrors ??? Them Sir are Rizoma Radial Naked mirrors and they are - IMHO - the Bees Knees  [thumbsup]

Very nice job there swankdaddy7

Hows the Oberon clutch slave compare to stock?

U,
Your help was requested here as well....

posted this on another forum, but thought I'd hit you here too not knowing which site you spend more time on...sadly, i spend too much time on all the forums.

'see you have a small black rear brake fluid tank siting on your bench there. Did you try it and decide to go with the gold instead?

If you still have it and want to sell it, let me know. I need a rear to complete my set on my M1100s. For some reason I was dumb enough to think I'd be happy with just the front two... '

I love Rizoma! I've been wanting the same mirrors you've got. Looks awesome!

I just picked up the front & rear axle sliders from Rizoma. In my opinion, they look the best since they just blend in with the bike and you don't even notice that they're there.

Thanks for the alert [thumbsup] Its so hard to find a phone booth these days or I'd have rendered assistance already...  [laugh]

Thanks.  The levers are reach adjustable on both sides.  Thanks for the correction I had forgotten the mirror name.  The turn signals (front to be installed) are among my favorites.

I've only ridden once with the Oberon due to weather and working on the bike, but the pull is noticeably easier.  The difference is stated at 20% (29 or 29.5 mm), and I would probably have guessed 25%.

I had some powder coating done recently.

Like what your doing, but I will make one small suggestion for your gas cap.  Leave the ring gold, cap black, lift tab gold and "DUCATI" on the lift tab black.  It would really accent the bike well!  [popcorn]

Looking good there swankdaddy7  [thumbsup]  Mate, those Rizoma mirror mounts appear to raise the mounting point up a little (8-10mm or so over stock??).... can you confirm that to be so, coz I could use a little extra height in my mirror mounting position too?  Also, are they the p/n BS770B shown here?  >>  http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=265&products_id=882 (http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=265&products_id=882)

Cheers  ;D

Thanks for that, 5mm is enough to justify a pair.  Cheers  [thumbsup]

what pegs did you put on there? those look like rizoma pegs...

do you have a part number?

 [bacon]
now get some termis and PC the tips too.

They are Rizoma rearsets and pegs.

The termi's just came in.  I had the ends ceramic coated black.  Need to install now.

which rizoma pegs? i cant find any that if the rizoma rearsets...

part number?

do the rear ones fold?

Rear footpegs fold, front ones are spring loaded.  All four pegs are Rizoma gold pegs (I don't have the part number), but they were "standard" Rizoma gold pegs to my knowledge.  I bought them separate from the rearsets and passenger hangers which came with silver/aluminum pegs.

was it the folding pegs kit on this page?

Yes, I'm 99% sure that is exactly what I bought.
