Ducati Monster Forum

Hey guys,

 As most of you already know I have gone a through a few bikes over the past 10 months or so after I sold Swampduc my S2R1K.

 I finally settled on an 07 S4Rt. It came with a bunch of cool carbon bits such as a rear hugger, front fender, side panals, short tail, sprocket cover, and chain guard. It also came with an LED tail light with intergrated turn signals, Rizoma Track directionals (front), CRG mirrors and a full Termi system.

 Because I can't leave anything alone I started right away on the mods. First up was a set of Rizoma Zero-11 directionals modded to fit flush on the cf short tail. Next I added a Sargent seat, Speedymoto Flow clutch cover and Shinobi plate, a set of 330mm front rotors (from a 1098), rim stripes, and finally a set of cf radiator guards. I couldn't stand the look of the stacked cans on the Termi system so I scrapped them and made a custom 2 into 1 system.

 I have a few additional mods I will be doing shortly but I thought you guys might like to see the progress so far. Here is a photo I took today.

Here is the video with sound. Let me know what you guys think.

looks great...

stop quoting Megadeth though ;)

You do great bikes  [thumbsup]

Have you considered a Riding House belly pan?
Also, may I suggest a non-yellow spring and removing/hiding the seat flag?

About the exhaust: have you noticed any engine heat issues - enough outflow?

Your bike look's the "DOG's"... [thumbsup]

Has the head light been lowered... ???

 [coffee]

Looks great [thumbsup] Super clean lines, especially with the 2-to-1 exhaust.

that is the best color combo...besides dark. Looks great

class act.  very nicely done IMO.

now, when can I ship you my bike so you can start on her?  ;D

you mean tool?

no I mean Megadeth

Thats a good looking bike gl [beer]

Thanks for the kinds words everyone.

I haven't considered a belly pan for this bike. I've seen a few S4Rt/s bikes with them and to me they just don't look right with the oil cooler where it is.

The shock will be replaced at some point and the yellow spring will be gone.  ;)

I like the flag on the seat... sorry.

No heat issues at all. Enough outflow? Thats 2.5" pipe going into the end can. Yeah, I think it flows just fine.  ;D


 No, it's the stock height.


Whenever you like.  [thumbsup]

ewww 4v monster !!!!!  ;D

Why do you like the S4Rs over the s2r1k?

 I don't necessarily. When I decided I wanted another Monster I looked at a few S2R1K's as well. This one just happend to be the right deal at the right time. Plus I've always loved this color combo. Which may or may not make any difference if I end up doing custom paint.  [roll]

 Also, the S2R1K does not come with radial brakes among other things.

 I will say that the motor in the 4V is a lot smoother and has a lot more power.  [thumbsup]

Ah, didn't get that reference, that you were talking about his sig

Bike looks great 'mash, love that exhaust.  Are monoblocs on your short list?

That's a hot bike! Love the colour combo.....think i'd like to do something along that line with my 696......hmmm.

Love it

 [clap]

Another nicely treated Monster.
Your bikes always look neat and clean.

Great job Tom!  [clap]

One can never quote Megadeth enough  8)

Nice bike man!

Very nice!

What's the secret to flush-mounting the newer zero-11 signals?  I installed my new set with modified rubber stalks a few days ago.  Flush would flow better.

Thanks guys!

I should have a video for you tomorrow.  [thumbsup]


 It's kind of tricky to explain how I did it. If you want to do it shoot me a pm with your number and I'll give you a call and explain it to you.

Just be sure to check your belts often, don't want to hear the Symphony of Destruction ;)
