Ducati Monster Forum

Hi Guys,

i work on the missing frame plugs for Monster 696-796-1100

i need your opinion for the big center screw... i think its better to cover the screw than to replace it.
why? i open the screw for testing and biing the nut on the backside falls down ... [bang]  [laugh]

So if my nut falls down also yours can do it  ;D

theres 2 possibilities to cover the screw ... produce a bigger plug or produce a plug which enclose the screw

the bigger type are much more easy to produce , but maybe "to big" ?

the enclosed type have to be cupped on the backside ,so more work but little smaler

what do you think?

i ask only about the diameter, not the design  [thumbsup]

Thanks
Chris

I like the smaller one better.  :P

Small type - maybe a larger center nut......

smaller definitely. 

I'm likin' the smaller...

Can you make the smaller one match the plugs for the seat cowl?

I want the whole set!!

well for me, I want the lower frame plug that you have.

can you match the stock center bolt on style?


as for your set. the smaller one.
although I'm not against replacing the bolt itself, since I've done that job as a whole, it's not that difficult, but a torque wrench is required if you want to do it right. so i  doubt you could use aluminum since it's a main component of holding the frame together.

Let me know when you have em in gold and also in black to match my un-seat-cowl ones [thumbsup]

ok you are 100% on my side  ;D

the bigger will be a bad compromise ... i dont like this, but i better ask some people to be sure.

and the  result ... you also dont like a compromise  [laugh]

ok i will go for the smaller ones , of course they will come on all designs

THANKS FOR YOU OPINION  [thumbsup]
Chris

Ciao Friends  ;D

Chris

Hi Chris,
Are the fullset ready for order?
Is it possible to shop to vietnam, where ducatisti could be counted with fingers?

i can see the finish line  ;D

i never see a solution to cover also the engine bold on M696-796-1100 ... you?

no ?  now you can say ... YES  ;D

i need some more test to be 100% satisfied, but i think tomorrow i can finish the project

in 2-3 week we can offer a full set to cover all frame holes on the new Monster

anybody interessted to cover also the big screw on the footrest kit ?

@crazycoder
we ship world wide ... except to china  ;D

i'm all for a black, better looking big rearset bolt replacement, as well as the big frame bolt, and the rear frame bolt in black.

the front one is already replaced with sliders, not pretty, but oh so valuable

ok i will do the same also for rearset screws

i keep you updated

thanks
Chris

Ciao Bello, I will order some when they become available they look great.

Me, too. I want the fullset please. When will this be available?

@crazycoder

ill check the situation, i´m sorry but we dont like to sell our products to vietnam

Sorry
Chris

we don´t sell our products on ebay and we also don´t sell to vietnam,china,... sorry !

Chris

for "piracy" reasons I believe...?


 [thumbsup]

pm sent to desmoworld.

ok guys ... now also the last holes can be covered  [laugh]

(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs708.snc4/62882_438250168852_366985198852_5140404_5923920_n.jpg)

now i have to work on the final details ... i can let you know if "ready to ship" if you like  [thumbsup]

THANKS
Chris

PM sent.

definitely let me know when they're ready to go.  That rearset bolt looks awesome!

Probably a stupid question, but would the rearset bolts work on Rizoma rearsets?

no , maybe i can do something for that ... later

Bye
Chris

OK ! its not a bolt, it´s a cover ... the original bolt are in the same place as ducati fix it  [laugh]

I already PM'd Chris with exactly that question..... So for sure I'm rating it as an A+ Sensible Question. And well asked too  [thumbsup]

whats the problem with the rizoma bolt ? why you like to replace/cover it ?

Thanks
Chris

Oh nothin', just for the sake of matching.  Because I have Rizoma rearsets as well as passenger pegs, the only two bolts/covers I can use from you guys is for the seat cowl and the middle frame... just trying to get all the bling I can  [thumbsup]

so you prefere to match the desmoworld or the rizoma design ?  ;D

Definitely would prefer you guys cause I can get them in Gold with Black center pieces which totally works on my bike  [moto]

not so much the rizoma bolt, but the stocker itself isn't very attractive, and many aftermarket rearsets reuse it (but externally, rather than sunk in).
too bad these aren't direct replacements

Exactly.  Rizoma rear sets re-use the stock foot-peg hanger bolts, but unlike when stock the entire alloy bolt head is exposed.  So your plug/cap for it as shown here...

(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs708.snc4/62882_438250168852_366985198852_5140404_5923920_n.jpg)

... would only cover the outer face.... some lip or edge flange would be needed to hide it entirely.

700 Euro footpegs and they us the stock bolt  ???  :o

in this case its better i produce a new bolt in our design ... but at the moment i´m full of work, so i cant say a date

Chris

Rizoma, woodcraft, sato, corse, metaltech and style/performance all use that stock bolt.

Only duca-bike, desmoworld  [thumbsup], and cnc racing utilize a better looking/replacement bolt for the upper mounting point.

...I know....

love the plugs , cant wait until they are done

Ger

I'll definitely be picking up a set for the main frame bolt to match my beautiful cowl screws.

Hopefully the 8x will be available for the center frame bolt as well?

sorry to busy to finished allready ... but i have to finish before EICMA Show in Milano starting november , i get back to you as soon as possible

Chris

Chris

Chris,

I cannot get your site to give me product info in English. The rest of the site, ie. availability, colors etc, is translated, but not the descriptions. Am I not navigating it correctly?

Chris, any chance I can get a quote for a set of black 8x to match the screw caps for my cowl.

I would only need the set of 6 that cover the trellis and rear frame holes.

I couldn't find the 8x on the website.

Thanks!
