Ducati Monster Forum

Hey Gang,

I own a 1999 Ducati Monster 750 Dark.  I have seen several Monsters converted into Cafe Racer style bikes.  I am looking for parts like handlebars, headlamps, etc. and don't know of any companies that do that kind of thing.  How do I post pics of my bike?  Any info on dong this would be great!

Thanks!

For cafe mods, there are a lot of options.  I don't know any sources specifically, but here is a cafed monster that just about everyone likes:

This is what a search for "cafe racer" came up with...

Welcome to the board.  I've got an idea for you; instead of wasting all the time and money re-doing your bike into a cafe, just buy mine.

Is that picture flipped? chain and alternator is on the opposite side, haha!

 [thumbsup] To show off the (single) brake set up and the (left side exit) exhaust?

Thanks for the links, guys! I think I just need to find parts more than anything.   Is there any place to find the DUCATI lettering that isn't just stickers or painted on?  Are the metal letters for the gas tank anywhere?  I bought some die-cast stickers of the hollowed DUCATI but would prefer something more tangible.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

There are a number of websites online that will put together emblems for you. I don't know if it's stock, but I have the emblem on both sides of my tank in chromed plastic, like the one on cars.

Ducati dealers have metal logos

Love these bikes.

It wouldn't be cheap, that's for sure.  With the exception of the stock master cylinders, I have all the parts to take it back to stock, so any potential buying would get those as well.  But, wave $10K at me and we might have to talk.

999 front end & are those carbon feebray BST wheels? Bike's shithot! How's that fuel tank?

Yep, front BST to fit a 999 and rear to fit the SC.  It's also got SpeedyMoto triples, Brembo RCS masters and an Ohlins TMSD.

This isn't the original tank.  The original was replaced a while back, when the bike was still in Honolulu.

price sounds fair considering what you got on that pretty thing. ive been lusting over the ducati sport 1000 for quite some time now. maybe in a year or two the mrs will allow me to add one more steed to the stable... my LBS' got a new sport classic for sale at around 8Gs but its the GT1000.

heres another sport 1000 i saw online that tickles my fancy.
