Title: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: Bullfrog on October 27, 2010, 01:51:08 PM Were there ever any black or dark grey belt covers made for the 800 motor?
I don't want any metal or carbon ones and would prefer swapping them instead of painting them if possible. Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: gambit688 on October 27, 2010, 02:22:34 PM Should be but there was also steps posted in Accessories and Mods regarding dying covers
Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: orangelion03 on October 27, 2010, 02:40:33 PM What's wrong with painting them? I used Krylon Semi-Gloss on mine and they look pretty good.

Love your bike Monty! I'm planning to darken my S2R, but keep the frame red so it stands out. Like the black peg hangers and swing arm. What pipe is that?

Love your bike Monty! I'm planning to darken my S2R, but keep the frame red so it stands out. Like the black peg hangers and swing arm. What pipe is that? It's a Quat-D midpipe and Leo Vince 2-1 Slip on. Sounds is really nice, and it looks killer with that twisted 2-1 pipe. I would have preferred a CF muffler, but came across a deal on the aluminum. My next step is the tail chop, when I do that, I might shorten the muffler, ceramic coat it, and add this end to it...(http://www.monsterparts.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/IMG_4096-2.jpg) http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/LEOCAP/Exhaust/LEOCAP.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/LEOCAP/Exhaust/LEOCAP.html) Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: Bullfrog on July 09, 2011, 05:57:09 AM http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=43500.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=43500.0) Hello yeah! I'll be trying that this winter. [thumbsup] Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: the_Journeyman on July 09, 2011, 06:37:53 AM FWIW - I painted my belt covers with no issues using high-temp paint from a rattle can.

I too love those pipes, too bad Leo stopped making them and everyone that has them isn't willing to part with them. Some day.... Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: stopintime on July 10, 2011, 07:34:18 AM The '07 has black belt covers.
I think they are about $ 70 new [thumbsup] Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: booger on July 10, 2011, 07:10:25 PM all the 695s had black belt covers, they fit the 800 engine
but hey painting the covers is cake, why bother sourcing the black ones Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: enderwaves on July 11, 2011, 03:23:24 AM I painted mine with Krylon's Fusion Matte Black rattle can. Improved the look by 100% and did the job in the time it took to drain the oil out of the engine. Bonus: if they get scuffed, it's awfully easy to do a repair.
Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: muskrat on July 11, 2011, 02:52:18 PM use the dye procedure, it's easy and eliminates any runs. I'm famous for having runny spots after using rattle can. 15+ years in the South and still haven't conquered the art. [bang]
Title: Re: S2R 800 - black belt covers Post by: rule62 on July 11, 2011, 04:25:30 PM I used rattle-can truck bed liner. It's durable and the texture is pretty nice too. Over 20,000 miles and never had a problem with cracking, flaking, etc. Just sand the original surface a little, clean the dust off, and spray.
