Ducati Monster Forum

 
Yep i have decided to get the chainsaw out and slash the backside off the S4 in Thailand .......why???? well it may look better ,but i am fed up with the rubber Ducat indicators that rot and fall apart in the sun so decided to do the whole hog, made up a taillight bracket and number plate support today ,will buy some indicators tommorow and do the deed.

I have to search out some bungs for the cut off frame tubes as well

may have some photos as well

A word of advice, make sure the plate angles down and backward enough. I know from personal experience that if you don't angle it enough a good bump will be enough to get it caught by your tire thus ruining your hugger.

doesn't it rain ALOT there? the tail chop may be an issue. i know on the 696 my back would end up dirty every rainy day

yeah, tail chop + water = HUGE rooster tail and swampass.

I have made the license plate with a 45degree angle seems enough , yes it rains but ,its so heavy that you get soaked through in seconds anyway and usually its far too dangerous to ride in the rain anyway as there is zero visibility and the roads are 1ft deep in water and trees ,mud dead dogs s etc.plus the heavy vehiucles do not slow down so its better not to be on the road at that time if you want a chancre to live , we usually dive into agas station for an hour and wait for it to clear up, but in the rainy season i usually ride in Europe as thats summer there.
