Title: Road Racing Gauges Post by: Travman on March 18, 2011, 09:58:17 AM Road Racing sure made some cool stuff for the earliest Monsters. It was all before my time of being into Ducati. I knew about their rims and aluminum tanks, but didn't know about the gauges. Check out the gauges on this eBay bike. Looks like a nice replacement for stock gauges.

I'd really like to get them back into the game somehow.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: Witty Name Here on March 21, 2011, 07:54:51 PM hadesducati848, sorry that was a cover pic on a Italian blog.
I did a quick search for content and didn't find anything. I'm sure it can be found with some more effort. Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: Nomad on March 22, 2011, 12:34:43 AM I have roadracing gauges on my 96 m900, problem is the guy I bought it from dropped something on the tach, so the cover was cracked. Searched high and low for a simple plastic covering replacement, no luck. So now I have the roadracing tach sitting in a box, and the white faced speedo from roadracing with a grey faced tach from ducati performance installed.

Searched high and low for a simple plastic covering replacement, no luck. So now I have the roadracing tach sitting in a box, and the white faced speedo from roadracing with a grey faced tach from ducati performance installed. is the cover threaded and just screws on top of the guage (1 piece) or is it just a simple flat piece of plexiglass and has a threaded lockring that screws over top of it to hold it in place? (2 piece) Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: Nomad on March 22, 2011, 01:46:31 PM It looks EXACTLY like the Ducati Performance gauge cover. Black plastic around the outside with the clear glass set in the middle, same dimensions and everything. They are threaded, but I believe that they are super glued with something permanent enough that if you try to unscrew it again you will break the cover.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on March 24, 2011, 04:07:57 PM Their gauges were really great looking imo - as I recall the gauge bracket was billet and came in different colors - i'm certain I've seen black, and pretty sure I've seen red as well.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: greenmonster on April 02, 2011, 12:18:22 PM I have the RR housing & tach.
Never seen any other finish than brushed alu. Tach glasses all gets a crack if you use them..... Not threaded 2piece, superglued real good. I`ll fix mine any year now..... Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: Duck-Stew on April 02, 2011, 12:45:25 PM I've owned 1 front fender, 1 AL tank and 1 seat cowl of theirs... All top notch pieces.
Hated to see all 3 go. :'( I ain't NEVER selling my Road-Racing spoked wheels though... [drool] Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: He Man on April 02, 2011, 02:39:16 PM i had the RR cowl, RR tank, RR guages.
:( to me, it was one of those eye catching monsters. wish i could of kept it but it had too many running problems. i REALLY like the fact that i can see the top belt. the new tanks hide it. :/ (http://kuixihe.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=381&g2_serialNumber=2) Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on April 02, 2011, 05:36:18 PM that tank cut-out for the vertical cylinder was my favorite too. by far. its the thing that i like about the radical ducati builds.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: hackers2r on April 03, 2011, 06:37:06 PM I emailed ducati dortmund about their tank for the Monsters but they said that it won't fit the newer FI bikes due to airbox and battery size. Man...wonder why no one makes a tank that will work on our bikes. They look spectacular.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on April 04, 2011, 07:58:39 AM wait. what tanks - please provide pics/link - if they have tanks like that and it will work for the ol' carbies, I am so throwin' cash at one of those before my wife knows what happened to the bank acct.

Click on monster parts and scroll down. Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on April 04, 2011, 08:17:43 AM That appears to be a RR tank - and a picture of all the RR parts - do they have new-old-stock (NOS) or are they making replicas? You have led me to believe you've gotten word back from them about the stuff! AND NOW I'M ALL HOT-N-BOTHERED! :D
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: hackers2r on April 04, 2011, 08:19:47 AM No idea what they have. I shot them an email about fitment and they were very quick to respond.
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on April 04, 2011, 08:24:52 AM sweet! I will do the same right now.
..... AND.... DONE. Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: hackers2r on April 06, 2011, 06:53:48 AM Any updates j v?
Title: Re: Road Racing Gauges Post by: junior varsity on April 06, 2011, 07:35:48 AM i haven't gotten any word back yet
