What did you just buy for your Ducati? Lets get a running thread going of things people are currently working on, adding and modding. I know we all follow and create our own threads, but for those not into writing a blog about their Ducati this can just be a central place to post it all as we go. You can list them, post links to where you bought it, maybe a link to your thread or your write up, and even pictures. Let's see how the Duati community is helping revive the economy with our wrenching shenanigans!
I'll start.
I just purchased a Stebel Nautilus (finally), and my 1100 rear clevis just came in the mail yesterday!
[popcorn]
I bought an MWR filter, ecu reflash, and adjustable levers for my m696.
Just bought a pair of MetalTech rear sets for my 696. Thanks to the Pro Italia peeps!
Yesterday I ordered a Marving mid-pipe from MP. Tpo beast intake with inspection cover and oil filler cap. Rear-sets from Desmoworld along with frame plugs. AEM cam covers from Bellisimoto ( which I have been waiting for for 3 months). Fren Tubo oil cooler lines and Ecu reflash from Houston Superbikes. I will need a new front tire and I still cant figure out what I want to do about my clutch
termi stickers for my "shortened" cans. Prior to that some rear sets. When will this shit end? [bang]
Maintenance stuff: VDST and a Gunston Exhaust Gas Analyzer.
I just bought a membership at techshop (http://techshop.ws/ (http://techshop.ws/)) and finished training on their Tormach CNC mill :)

it will NEVER end...sorry
waiting for the 999 shock i got for my S2R greatness to be finished up with the re-build...
UPDATE: Done!
I was in Boise last week so stopped by Monster Parts and picked up a pair of black and gold Rizoma bar end caps and two gold tail chop frame plugs. Thanks Jeff and Clark!
S4R rearsets, powder coated black, thanks to muskrat's decision to upgrade his and my consequential purchase of his used set.
Pretty smooth install, just need a longer rear brake line and I'm set! I'll write a thread about the install for 696/796/1100 peeps later.
Also have a bunch of parts off the bike for powder coating black (upper triple, bars, risers, headlight bracket).
Saving my pennies for lightweight wheels.
Just bought some Nelson-Rigg tail and tank bags. Looking for a deal on an Escort 9500ix radar detector. :)

I had no idea they fit the 1100.
I was wondering about these for the longest time. the *96 monsters are sqingarm pivot mounted, and the engine's aren't all that different, so I assume the sump mounting bolts are the same.
Which means that 696 stock rearsets may possible mount to older monsters with some spacers or so.

They come up on eBay cheaper than the dss rearsets most of the time. Easy replacements, and something different.
And if they do indeed fit, then the aftermarket rearsets should fit as well, although some spacers may need to be machined. I've seen some really nice sets out there.

I bought a replacement rain cover for my Cortech Sport Tailbag.
I ordered a set of Rizzoma Class Retro mirrors from Pro-Italia. I'm really looking forward to them arriving, so the ugly stock 696 mirrors can go.
I ordered a carbon DP tankpad for the Monster. [thumbsup]

I had the Pilot Power's front and rear on my Monster. I had switched from the Dunlop Qualifier and thought that I'd found the tire of my dreams... It was that much better. [thumbsup]
Then I tried the Michelin Power Pures... [clap] [bow_down] [clap] [evil] [moto]
I have them front and rear on the 999.
I just picked up 5 quarts of Mobil 1 and a K&N oil filter for the beast.

techron fuel injector cleaner - costco 3 pack..
I'm in the process of collecting tools currently just bought and broke the tip for my chain breaker and also put a new tire on the rear two weeks ago. I think I have reached the point where off-the-shelf stuff isn't cutting it anymore and have moved on to making stuff. Plans for a few carbon bits and headlight assembly for the summer.
I ordered the Ducati Performance "Lower Engine Cowl" for my 696 last week. Dealer said it'd be here in about 5 days... so that should be tomorrow (yeah right). :-\

Most likely Woodcraft, but since I'm mounting them over the triple I might go with ones that are a little prettier since I don't need the three-piece design.
Unfortunately a new battery :'(

I just don't like white motorcycles unless they have enough black to give them a certain level of contrast AND they don't look like cop bikes.
Your's looks great!
Thanks for the compliment, I fliped the color on it, it's an 04 blue frame, bule tank, front and tail with offset white stripe and white wheels, so I reversed the color keeping frame blue.
This winter the wheels are going to get powder coated the same dark bule and white rim tape (that's debatable), so I don't have to wash and wax them every other ride, they do look hot but just too much work ...

suburban machinery bars!
love the way they look.
can't decide yet if i like how they feel. having trouble getting used to the forward positioning. hoping i'll grow into them b/c i hate the look of risers ... trying for mind over body!
very nice, i love those. what monster?
put them on my s2r1k. had speedymoto risers on when i bought it; rode comfortably for a while. decided i hated the look. removed the risers. started having wrist pain; switched to SM bars. hoping pain will magically go away.
but they do look very cool which after all is the most important thing ;D
Just spooned some new Michelin Pilot Power CT2s on my 97 Monster.
I noticed the brake pads were worn so I replaced those. While doing
the brake job I noticed the left side brake line was worn where the
speedometer cable had been rubbing it, so I ordered a braided kit.
Since Id been waiting for parts with the bike apart I figured Id
clean up the tail section and update the turn signals and relocate
the license plate holder.... I now need to fabricate mounts for
the front signal replacement....
LV gp style slipons and some bright orange earplugs ;D

A Shorai battery for my 95 M900.
Most weight loss per dollar I have ever spent.
3+ kg loss, and made room for other mods which allowed
another 1.5kg + loss in weight.
I was able to run K&N pod filters without having to fabricate a battery box or ignition bracket. I seperated the battery box from the air box and put the battery, coils and ignition module in it.
The small battery made it easier.
Pod filters and a hacked battery box from the "Parts for Sale" section. I love this board.
Belts and a 15K mile valve service.

T-Rex front triple tree stand, nice product. Only issue the angle is just a tad off as I have lowered the 696 for my wife and the pin tends to bind when removing. Pull up on the handlebars will release it tho. Stock monster should be fine tho you will have to remove the fender.

+1; I'm running a diablo rosso on the back and recently upgraded the front from a diablo ss (base model) to a diablo rosso II and the difference, to me, is huge. in tight hairpin curves, I could often feel the front tire slip outward more than the back (understeer if you will), but with the new front, I can throw this thing down into the tightest turns and it just sticks right on track, all the way through. The rosso rear is also a fantastic performer, but sadly the center tread is getting squared off from all the commuting. I hope the rosso II lasts a bit longer in the middle, as I'd like to throw one on the rear wheel next...
Not the prettiest mod but functional and the gf appreciates it. Triboseat (anti-slip) cover. Prior to that I was using skateboard tape, cheap and effective but on really hot days the adhesive would melt and the tape would move around. Luckily I had eBay bucks so just got this...

Rizoma Class Retro mirrors! I had just moved my controls 1" inboard on my Suburban Machinery bars and I attached them directly to the exposed bar end. The Rizomas are pricey, but very nice, extremely well constructed, offer a good view to the rear, and the silver/black really looks good my on white/black 1100S. I also painted my upper triple clamp and the bat ear foot peg holders satin. What a visual difference, especially the bat ears - the bike looks skinnier now.
Yeah, I know: pics or it never happened. Can someone remind me how to post pics? Grazie!

I hate it when that happens. [thumbsdown]
Wasn't one of my happier moments... Had to wait on the inside shoulder of a bridge until the brakes cooled enough to move the bike. To say I was nervous would be an understatement!!

Lower Triple? What brand is that?
It's IMA's newest, the Model 4
It's tapered/sloped and allows me to raise the front 8 mm compared to SpeedyMoto.
I need that to harmonize with the raised rear.
(bling has nothing to do with it [roll] [drool] )
Must drill new holes for instruments......
Must have a steering stop bracket made........
Must remove mini-U-airsensor-bracket and relocate sensor.....
Must buy new non-faded red steering stem nut....
Must carry paper towel to clean up drool....

I picked up a brand new Monster 796 ABS 4 weeks ago on a Friday afternoon. Loaded it in my Avalanche, hauled it home, unloaded it, rode it around the block two times, put it in my garage, and left very early Saturday morning for 6 weeks in Breckenridge, CO. So, I have this lovely bike at home with 2 miles on the odometer.
What else am I supposed to do that buy gifts for my new baby. I've purchased:
Evotech TidyTail
Arrow slipons
Rizoma bar end's
CNC red billet alternator and sprocket covers
Shopping for barend mirrors
just installed t-rex frame sliders on my 04 620. considering order some bar risers, then maybe tail chop.

K&N Pod Filters. B-bye, airbox. It wasn't slow before, but now? Now it's like the proverbial raped ape. I passed this one guy in a Mustang like he was sitting still... then he burst into flame and immediately ascended to heaven, Rapture-style.
The new air intake howl sounds like Vikings on meth partying with velociraptor werewolf strippers in a stolen Winnebago. I had to stop mid-wheelie and park on the side of the road, crap my pants, and then resume riding.

I could take one with my digital camera...but you know how bad the sound quality will be with that. Im planning on picking up a GoPro in the next week so I'll give that a go once I get it. Im thinking with the full case it should muffle it enough that the sound wont bleed out. (plus if I mount it to the bike you can hear them under load...because revving it in neutral really doesnt do pipes justice.. [evil])

Danmoto Carbon Fiber Exhaust- a lot of people have criticized these as cheap knock-offs, but after almost two months with them, I don't see any issues. I like the way they look and sound. They are about one fourth the proce of Termis or Arrows.
Sorry, I don't have a video camera, but if you go to the Danmoto exhaust thread, some other members have posted sound clips.

Got the GoPro, the sound quality/wind noise is a little harsh with the non waterproof case, Ill try it with the sealed case tomorrow (as well as trying a couple different mounting locations) to see if I can get a quality video. thinking of mounting the cam undertail...but im a little wary about when things go wrong...stay tuned!
Speedy-Moto frame and axel sliders...no pic's yet
Finished Phase 1 of my mods. They include: Arrow slipons, motovation front axle and frame sliders, CNC alternator cover, evotech tail chop, leverskinz, rizoma barends, and even some ducati valvestem caps I found on ebay. Ordered a billet front sprocket cover but the color (red) was horrible. Almost pink. Also ordered Rizoma Sportline grips. Put them on and didn't like the look, feel, and they left 8mm of the handle bar showing, so took them off. Also got rid of all those horrible frame stickers which now live under the seat.
Next up are rear sets (can't wait to lose those horrible passenger pegs and bars) and mirrors.

Nice. I was looking at the space under the headlight(s), it looks empty, someone should come up with a CF scoop that is also functional in directing ram air to the oil cooler and the engine(for cooling at speed)! Take advantage of the old headlight mounts in the design. :)What do you folks think?

It does look a bit empty underneath but each project has a different result. The reason being that there is no easy aftermarket conversion for the new monsters. Each headlight mod requires custom cluster brackets and the position of the headlight on the forks is up to the rider and what type of fork clamps/brackets they use.
But you do have a point, specifically the old headlight mounts being very visible. I've flirted with the idea of just capping them off or putting some black hardware on them just because they look so damn shiny.

Well, I'm having a hard getting the modification addiction under control. Today I purchased a CNC Racing rearset, Rizoma mirrors (radial), a Rizoma front sprocket cover, ducabike covers for clutch, front brake and rear brake reservoirs, a new rear sprocket hub and an Oberon clutch slave. This stuff all came from Randall at Bellissimoto - who is beyond excellent and helpful. The only problem is that he mentioned I should not stop here and go ahead and get belt covers and a steering damper.
The addiction continues.

Motovationusa.com - Yup, that's where I got mine (the Dark Aluminum's). $615 currently, shipped to your door, which is a SUPER deal.
Let me tell you, with the baffles out, these cans sound awesome! Not too loud either, just a low and deep purr.

+1 Thats where I got mine from.
Did a cover the weekend - real easy and it does clean up the left side.
Love all the mod's to date, but I decided to do something about the overly-rich tuning, decell pop's, etc. I really did my homework on this including an ECU reflash, PowerCommancerV, FatDuc, and pulled the trigger on a Bazzaz Z-FI. I think this will do the trick and you can get one for $265.
Additionally, I took some good advise on the "must do" 14t front sprocket mod and ordered one of those also. In terms of bang-for-the-buck, this mod (~$30) seems like a no-brainer.
Hopefully, this will tune up the AFR (Bazzaz) and eliminate the low speed lugging (14t). I'll report back.
New plugs cause I flooded my engine. :-\
CRG shorty levers and bar end mirrors - went down for the first time in 4.5 years of riding. Also bought a new leather jacket, my Dainese textile saved my skin but the jacket itself tore in certain areas.
Didn't really buy... more had made. Needed a new bar for my rizoma clip ons, sent the bent one to the local machine shop in Aztec, NM (worked there for a summer) and got this back!

Me 2 - 14t front sprocket from monsterparts.com on my 2011 796 ABS. Put it on yesterday morning and just walked in from a 25 mile ride. LOVE IT and agree with wannabfast in terms of smoothness, better starts from stop, and crisp acceleration. After I put it on, I did load my bike into the back of my truck and took it to the dealer for a chain tightening. After I put the 14t on, my chain measurement was around 88mm (should be 60-62). Felt it was too loose to ride.
Next on the list is a Bitubo steering damper from Bellissimoto.
New belts, chain & sprockets... The ride home was amazing, not stressing about breaking an overdue belt [clap]
How hard of an install is the 14T sprocket? I see it's pretty cheap from Monster Parts. I'd like to try it myself if its do-able. Is chain tightening required?
its not that difficult except you need to pull the slave cylinder off, and adjust the chain afterwards, which could be tricky on a single sided swingarm
Its actually easier on a sssa. It is self aligning. But you should use the proper tool. It can be done with a long screwdriver but I do not recommend it.

Which exhaust? I'm close to getting the Gilles myself, but have two reservations: they are ~ an inch less wide at the peg than stock/CycleCat - in itself a very good thing, but possibly problematic reg right side foot angle as the s-pipes will dictate an akward foot angle. Comments?
Also, I wonder if the pinch bolt on the rotating main bracket will be holding that thing in place when I bounce my 220 + gear lbs on them....
Ex box exhaust....hoping to get it in today or tomorrow...
Had it for 3 weeks
-Tail Chop with smoked led tailight
-Emissions Gone-
-Mini zip ties cut all the big ugly ones-
-S2R front wind screen-
-ASV levers
-Pitbull stands
-Headlight bulb - trying to match the integrated license frame
-eBay mirrors - work need adjustment
-14 sprocket -
-New grips-
and the list will keep going...
Cycle-cat raised clip-ons, CF sprocket cover, new FF which will get the Dremel chop for shortening and shaping! Ordering Boom Tubes in Nov when Mark gets back.

Rizoma, it is.

I ride with the DP cowl bag on but took it off for the exhaust install for some reason.
[bow_down] RIZOMA
Arrow carbon full exhaust system, Rizoma rearsets, NCR oil cooler
Front and rear stands
Showa 3-way adjustable front forks
"New" front wheel
"New"/old rear wheel
Shorai LI battery
Front /Rear brake pads
...fixing other misc items due to accident. Oops! [bang]
zero gravity st windscreen for winter riding
Just got red caps for the clutch pressure plate with stainless springs and bolts
Black frame plugs
Pistal 12.5:1 High Compression Pistons (they are marketed at 12.5:1...Kaemna shows them as being 11.8:1 in actual applications on a hyper, so I expect somewhere along those lines).
Probably won't get a chance to toss these in this winter, but thinking long-term, HC pistals + 47/41 valves + port/polish is the plan.
A major service [thumbsdown]
Gotta make your cash sacrifice to the Ducati gods...
Also, a Ducati Performance tank cover & bag on order.

dat dual headlight
mind posting some pictures of your bike?
Sure, I'll take a few more when I get home tonight. The profile pic is the only one I have of the duals so far. Only put them on last week. 8)
Bazzaz Z-Fi and Z-AFM system. A very cool and worthwhile addition.
Brembo adjustable FCS Master cylinders for the clutch and front brake and an Evo slave cylinder with 30% pull reduction. The first steps in upgrading the front brakes on my bike to dual disc... really need to find out which adjustable SBK forks will fit on my bike so I can take care of that at the same time that I have the rest of the front end up off the ground.

They look great! Where did you get them from?
I'm a little annoyed at XPO Streetfighter. The dual's I got from them came with small parking bulbs installed in the housing but no wiring to light them up. Doesn't make sense. I called them back in early september to ask about it and I just got a recorded message saying that they were closed for the next month....
I got them from monsterparts. Great service! [thumbsup]

Yes this modification can be done without buying longer cables. In fact I didn't even have to reroute the existing cables. The stock riser is 57mm anyhow.
Bought a stock "wing" for the Hyper and got rid of the rack/bag thingy that it came with.
After:

Bought a carbon air box. Beautiful piece. I was told it would fit my S2R 800 with a little modification... I took it to our local Ducati mechanic and he said no way and figured it was made for a 620 possibly, he refused to try and modify it. Called up the guys from carbon4us.com here in Spain. They said no problem and gave me a full refund. Check out they're website a lot of non standard±unusual pieces. If your into carbon...

Not the prettiest mod but functional and the gf appreciates it. Triboseat (anti-slip) cover. Prior to that I was using skateboard tape, cheap and effective but on really hot days the adhesive would melt and the tape would move around. Luckily I had eBay bucks so just got this...
My GF and i broke up last week (for sure this time) It really set in when i put the seat cowl back on and removed the rear pegs... :'(
Put down a deposit on 94mm high-compression pistons and ST2 cams for the M900 I'm rebuilding. Figure they'll be in by the time I actually get time to work on her.
GT1000 upper triple, new style monster conical bars,Rizoma risers, Dunlop D616 tires.
after a bit of shaving on the risers I can now go from clip ons (with sport1000 triples) to risers in about 20 minutes.
I cant afford two bikes so this is a pretty awesome compromise.
more boring, commuter-minded parts: puig screen, progrips
Morimoto HID projector
Factory Pro Jet Kit
Carbon Ducati Performance upper front fairing
Pod filters (I'm selling my K&N filter, only a month old just FYI)
Just got a CRG lane splitter mirror and some Rizoma bar ends. I'll let you know how it comes out
Arrow full exhaust for an S2R 800
finaly making some changes to the bike....waiting to take delivery of: rizoma naked prototype mirrors, tail chop kit, all in one integrated tail light, front blinkers rizoma something.
Front calipers. Getting 'em polished too...

Got some grip heaters. Waiting on a waterproof switch to get here before I do the install.
And lots of new winter gear for me. Knox Cold Killers windproof setup, polartex gloves, Rev'it Dragon jacket, alpaca wool socks, new helmet. Still gotta order a merino wool base layer, but need to print up some more $$ first.
The last thing I bought for my ducati was another ducati. It was getting lonely in the garage all by itself ;D
OEM battery kicked the bucket and helped me justify the upgrade to a Shorai battery and charger. ;D

Do you find the screen on the iPhone flips around from side view to normal view when going around bends?
I didnt JUST buy it, but I forgot to post when I did. Came up when I was half way home on a Sunday afternoon on my return trip from San Francisco to San Diego. God bless the guys at cyclegear in SLO.

my andoid has a way to lock the screen in one mode.
hey i just got the same turn signals, but dont have that third box with the wires. is that needed for the install, or can you use existing wiring?

Those adaptors allow you to retain the stock plug on the harness and avoid cutting your stock turnsignals, basically they make the blinker install 100% reversable. But yes, if you arent afraid of some cutting and splicing (either crimp connectors, or solder and heatshrink) then you can definitely install the signals with out the extra wires.
On another note, they manual stated that I not need any of the resistors for my bike, when you install them, plug everything in, put the bike to on and hit the switch. If the blinker is too fast, add a resistor until it looks right. (if you go by the pictures, 1 resistor is for an 8W to 12W bulb...which the 796 has...for some reason the manual said to use none. oh well, works great now!)

How do you like that Rizoma filler cap? Ive been eyeing it for a while but had concerns that it would be easy to tamper with...is it still a hinged filler? or does the whole cap come off?

The gas cap looks awesome and thats pretty much all it does better than stock. Its not hinged, the whole cap comes off using a special key that rizoma supplies with it. However, you can get the cap off without the key if you push really hard in the center and twist with your thumb. I don't really expect anyone to tamper with it. I assume if I had a bunch of enemies that knew it was my bike that were always near it I would have a reason to worry a little bit, but I dont.
As far as getting custom and flashy caps, this is the only one I will ever do. Rizoma made it look too beautiful to pass up so I was willing to ditch the key lock cap and get the rizoma one.

Looks much better than OEM and the word key can be a broad term. The Rizoma "key" for the gas cap is a small plastic/aluminum device that takes up about as much volume as a quarter. Also, you dont really NEED it to open the cap, it just makes it easier
Finally got the boom tubes installed! And just bought EVR Anti-Clank Vented Pressure Plate, EVR Vented Clutch Cover "Cut" Type 1, and the EVR clutch hardware kit, this weekends going to kick ass

Did you get a new retaining washer for the front sprocket - they do wear out.
i didn't :-\
but i think it's still ok ;) ;)
I took my Duc out to bike night last night and bought it a beer. Apparently the bike wasn't thirsty, so I drank it.
I just picked up a spare S2R gas tank off of eBay... Ill get it coated Neanderthal still hope a replacement from Ducati. Looks like we need spare tanks like we need spare tires...
EVR clutch springs to hopefully help my clutch slip at wot. Figured I met as well "bling'em" and go with gold caps too.

lightweight 1098 starter driven gear. crossreferenced the part numbers and should fit [thumbsup]

For my S2R 800:
Spark midpipe from Motowheels.com - to be ceramic coated in black along with the S pipes and muffler end caps.
Perforated tubing and packing to do a proper job of coring my exhaust
Carbon fibre cloth to laminate my cored can sleeves :o
This!

Re: Rivet straps, the only place that I have been able to find them is Exhaust Parts UK. With shipping, it will cost around US $40.00 for 4 bands. I'm not against spending $40.00. I just think it's a bit steep. I found another place in UK that has them for much less. But they are not set up for online sales and they haven't answered my emails.
I will post pics when I'm done. It may be a little while since I'm away on business all next week.
Just installed my new Quat D Ex-Box on my 08 S2R1000. I removed the factory installed baffle as well. Gotta say I LOVE the way this system sounds! Went together without much issue. Took maybe an hour to remove the old system and install the new one. Next is a tail chop and then the clutch cover and new pressure plate. I think I am going to rebuild the suspension. The factory suspension just doesn't handle my 6'-1" 250lb frame very well... lol

X-box looks awesome! [thumbsup] Try adjusting your suspension; it only takes about ten minutes. My 07 S2R 1000 suspension was too soft for my portly frame with the stock settings, but with a few clicks to tighten it up a bit, the suspension works better.
sTD tail chop kit, awesomeâ,,¢!

Someone was selling a new, un-opened, never seen gas OEM tank on "the other forum" as I seem to be getting shafted on a tank replacement from Ducati. Needless to say, it didn't cost me $1800.00 or whatever a new tank costs. Now, if I can get Ducati to replace my expanded tank...I'll have two virgin gas tanks [evil] [evil] [evil]

I'm just an average earner, but I have imagined that $50,000 could easily be spent on modifying a Monster.
Carbon fiber wheels......
aluminum frame......
and the list goes on.
dont forget about all the magnesium...
I've not done so yet, but I've almost convinced myself that aftermarket triples are a "reasonable investment" because they'd have a place for the pin on a triple-tree front-stand.

Most of the mods here are bolt-on. For the most part I don't see the improvement. Just swapping parts for stock parts at great expense. There are only a select few who customize and their rides are the best of all.

Plus 1. Couldnt agree more.
I disagree.......
For example, CRG bar-end, lane-split mirrors with sliders
+ less weight
+ better vision
+ easy to lane-split
+ much better looking
+ less wind resistance
+ crash protection
+ easier to tuck in next to my car in the garage
Yes, some mods are just for appearance, but many also provide benefits.
My 98' M900 is the 12th motorcycle I have owned, and the only one I have extensively modified.
One could argue that some of the mods are frivolous, while some are beneficial...to safer, faster, better handling Monster.

Right. +1 on personal preferences. That's what I was saying, my personal preference.
My monster came with lane-splitters. Took them off. At my height I had to take my eyes off the road in front of me to get a glimpse of what was behind.
The red anodized alternator cover didn't match the engine case or the frame paint. Gone. The stock one manages to hold the O-ring in place just as well and it matches the engine case.
The STM slave didn't match anything after I removed the alternator cover. Gone. The stock one manages to push the clutch rod just the same and it matches the engine case.
To me changes like the clutch slave add urban ugliness to the bike. Aside from some of the ladies and perhaps some with physical handicapps that prevent them from using the stock slave configuration I just don't see the need for it.
I'm all for mods to adjust ergonomics, true performance or to make the bike fit your riding style. I'm just say'in to me I don't go for the looks of the bikes full of bolt-on bling.

The 998 already has an integrated tail-light, installed by the previous owner, but I'd like one that isn't utter shite (i.e. you can tell when I'm braking, or using my turn signals, and it's actually bright enough to be visible).

All my services have been long delayed. :P
But it's finally getting consistently warm again, so I'm riding again. The plan for the next few days is: Valve check, belts, brake/clutch fluid change, and fan switch.
The bike is actually up on stands in the garage at the moment, with the bodywork, tank, etc. stripped off, ready for me to do everything I didn't accomplish during the winter when I wasn't riding anyway. [roll]
I'll shoot you an email, or PM, or somesuch after I the switch install done.

Adjustable shorty levers from fleabay.
Sorry they're from China but since I'm maintaining two bikes (a Duc and a 94 BMW 1100RS with a broken rear subframe) budget won out.
Quality seems superb.
Do you have a link to the ones you bought? I'd like to grab a set but don't want to buy junk. Thanks!

Thanks, just picked up a set!
The Monster is getting treated this week. Today I picked up the Evo tail tidy, 14T sprocket, Rizoma Retros, Bar caps, frame sliders and front and rear axle sliders. Looking forward to getting it all put together!
Just got the new rear tire on, here is what finished the old one

IMHO the BT016 is WORLDS better than the BT054, but after having both and then a Pirelli Diablo Rosso II and a Pirelli Angel, the Rosso is my favorite, but the Angel is nearly as good but lasting much longer..
I've stopped running Pirellis. The damn things go all at once. I've run Stradas, Angels, Diablos.
I love my Michelin Pilot Power 2ct.
My first ever set of mods to my S4R -
Zero Gravity windshield & Poorducrider stays
CRG hindsight mirrors and puppy grips
now I have officially joined the modders and tweakers brigade
Tail chop kit from ducatimonstertailchop, along with their anodized frame plugs and reflective license plate holders. The previous owner had done the tail chop, but fabbed his own tail light and license plate holder. The metal gauge was too thin, though, and it bent out of shape and hit the rear tire. This one should work out much better.
Sorry for the double-post, but I did the 7500 mile service on my 695, and also replaced both tyres with Michelin Pilot Road 3s. I noticed an improvement over the Bridgestone Battleaxes that were on there before, although they were pretty worn when I got the bike. I suppose they're a bit uncommon on Monsters, but the PR3s are supposed to excel in wet conditions, and are supposed to last a while.
crappy cheap fleabay bar end mirros... AGAIN! cause I keep snapping mine off when I bring the bike inside. not gonna spend more than $15 bucks cause I never look in them anyways... just trying to stay legal so the fat oppressive policemen [leo] here in northeast florida will stay off my back for the dumbest of things!

Well...its only 2 teeth lower than stock!!!?
I never realized 620's were geared so differently than 900's.
My bad [bow_down]
So I was going to go 14/46 as I read that was a popular ratio for the 620 but in talking to Jeff at Monster Parts he recommended I go with 14/48. Stock on a 2005 620 is 15/48. I'm not enough of a "gear head" the difference so I rely on other peoples expertise.
I havent installed the sprockets yet so I could return the rear for something else if someone gives me a good reason to go with a different size for the rear. I'm regular casual rider with mostly suburban/city, farm roads and some highway. No track days here.
Thoughts?
ahh...did not know the rear of 620 is 46 stock...my 750 is 15/41 stock
Bought a used fuel pump.

14/48 should give you less top end but a nice bump in oomph at lower-mid range speeds.
Sounds like a good plan.
14/48 is definitely the way to go on a 6-speed 620. [thumbsup]
I've had stock 15/48, then -1 front 14/48, then +3 rear 15/51, over the past 25 thousand miles. 14/48 is the best.
Picked up a Puig windscreen and a Bags Connection tank bag [thumbsup]

^^^^^ I like the tank bag. I have a Nelson-Riggs tank bag, but I can't seem to come up with a decent mounting system for my 07 S2R 1000 plastic tank.
Does your bag mount to the stock fuel cap?
Is it a secure mounting system?
Is it easy to install and remove?
Thanks! ??? ;D

Yea, I love the bag and it took me a while to find exactly what I wanted.
Does your bag mount to the stock fuel cap? Yes, it uses a ring that mounts to the stock fuel cap.
Is it a secure mounting system? Yes, very secure. I put three quarts of oil in it and the bag never wiggled. It has a solid mount plate on the bottom of the bag and the bag never contacts the tank.
Is it easy to install and remove? Yes. It has a simple pull cord that releases 4 locks that secure the bag to the ring.
I got it at www.twistedthrottle.com (//http://)
Thanks for the feedback. I will soon invest in one of those bags. ;D
What did I just buy for my Ducati?

Nope. tourer for me and the wife. she hates the monster seat size and new rear sets.
Total impulse buy. We had been talking about a touring bike for awhile (since I stuck her on the monster with a backback to Italy and back). I had to pick up a part for the Monster today and at the shop there was this silver 98-build, 99 model year, ST2, pristine and stock (minus a smoked touring screen) with only 12,500 miles on the clock. newish tires, all services done, with hard bags. Wasn't prepared to put money into a bike (since kids want dirt bikes) but she said, "want it?" what was I supposed to say? ;D
Anyway, enough thread jack..
oh did buy a cam cover seal and brake banjo bolt. oh and key chain for the ST.
Just fitted a project r clear lens head light and hid bulb to the duc nice piece of kit and great projection.
Whoa.......""but she said, "want it?" what was I supposed to say?"" ;D
Your wife is a KEEPER!! [thumbsup]
Integrated tail light and a sargeant seat. Saw some CRG levers on sale and an exhaust in the parts for parts for sale section.........ruh roh....
Didn't just buy it, but finally got around to installing the Powerlet heavy gauge battery/starter solenoid wire kit I bought a couple of years ago. Well, I didn't get around to it, a good buddy who is a phenomenal Duc mechanic is "between jobs" and I'm out of town, so I had him do it, and he also re-jetted my FCR's (and removed the piece of teflon tape some moron i.e. me, got in the fuel line when he was replacing the fuel filter)
Seems to have solved the cold start issue I'd had since I installed the FCR's. Ready for my X-Country road trip next month. [Dolph]

If we assume an average price of gasoline per gallon at $2.5 over the past 2 decades, and mpg averaging maybe 40... that means you spent 12375 for your bike new... probably if adjusted for inflation... ;D
Looking at the pics of the screws and nails in tires reminds me of a conversation we had at the NEDOC ride.Almost everyone has picked up something in their rear tire vs. the front.My theory is it happens because the rear tire is under power,so maybe the front tire just glides over it.I dread the thought of getting a flat front (knock on wood).
New ebay shorty levers (I'm inpressed with the quality for under $40)

I paid $10,200. But I get closer to 50mpg, so that works out about even.

Get in touch with Artful. He lives in Parkville (I think) and has all the gear to mount/dismount.
Just installed the Sport 100 body art kit, the Ducati short tail kit and a pair of CRG Arrow mirrors. I bought it all over the past few months but waited to install them all at the same time so I could really see a change in the look of the bike. I'm real happy with the results.

Exhaust wrap! Really i purchased it for the guzzi, but i used my extra to cover the header pipe. Once i order some more ill complete the rest of the pipes.

Tell me, did you notice an instant improvement in handling?
That's not the usual 90 degree valve stem and BST steel cap with sealing o-ring... Strange ???
Look what I got!
And no phillips head wood screws.
I also bought a pair of saftey wire pliers.
Already had the Speedymoto socket, a torque wrench, and the DP rear paddock stand. So removing the wheel to take in for a tire swap out, and then the reinstall, was no problemo.
My only regret is that I didn't have the time and opportunity to take it to Nick in the Valley for the tire swap. I really prefer to give my business to him. But time was limited. My bike is my only ride and I needed to go to the closest place I could find.

Is that the Harbor Freight? If so its a great price for a chest that size. Let us know how the quality is i.e. bearings on the drawers etc.
Yeah, Harbour Freight.
So far it seem fine; plenty sturdy. It is brand new, but the drawer slides seem fine.
Not as nice as my Craftsman "Griplatch" tool chest, but at $99.00 it was also about 1/5th the price.

Most likely Woodcraft, but since I'm mounting them over the triple I might go with ones that are a little prettier since I don't need the three-piece design.
Good call, I know it's been a long time since this post i've been gone a while.... Did you ever finish your conversion? Sounds like you did pretty close to what I'm wanting to do. I'm getting back to the States soon and gonna start planning the work on my bike to maybe do this winter. Would loves to see some pictures of the outcome if you finished! And maybe any pointers you have after going through the process. Thanks man!!

Ditching the airbox has required me to get filters for the crank-case and the idle air. Turns out it's a bit more in-depth to do than I thought.
Well I placed my order with monsterparts.com today for a
Carbonworld Rear Hugger and tank covers.
Rizoma Fluid Reservoir x 3 in red

I also ordered a Termignoni DP system in Carbon from Omaha Ducati and I bought a Ballistic 8 cell battery from my local PU dealer.

how do the woodcrafts change the riding position?
Quote from: wannabfast on June 30, 2012, 04:06:35 PM
how do the woodcrafts change the riding position?
It's actually a little more aggressive ridding position now. It's about 2 inches higher and 1 inches back. It's not as comfortable as the stock ridding position anymore. These rear set were made for the track and I would only recomend them if you track your bike. These rear sets will probale be very uncomfortable for taller riders too. I don't track my bike but I hated the stock rear sets so Im just going to have to adjust to it.

I hate those grips... they are all goopy in the sun. It's kind of gross when your grips snot on your gloves. I still need to get a set that isn't all goopy.

A "2" to stick on the speedometer face next to the odometer (to replace the "1" that is now obsolete).
Also, last month a new base gasket for the vertical cylinder, and 3 new head studs (apparently I still had those 3 left of the faulty design ones used when it was built), and some other top end seals and o-rings that were dried out and in some cases actually crumbly. Good thing I never wash it -- the dirt was the only thing keeping the oil inside.
New clutch and front brake master cylinders (barely used from a 796).
A few months ago, a rebuild of the forks.

If I'm correct, there should be an adjusting screw on the lever. Make sure you just have enough free play, which mean don't turn this screw in completely to make the lever too tight. I ran into that problem on my so I turn the screw out and give a free play of about 1-2mm before the brake acctually applied.
This arrived today...

Did you do that on your own? I was wondering what the best thing to do is. I have a rear stand and a new tire that I bought (Pilot Road 3) and I see you can buy a wheel balancing thing from harbor freight for like 40 bucks or Discount Ramps for around the same price, but the question I have is the actual getting of the tire off/ on the rim. What does everyone do for that or do you just take it to the shop?
I take the wheel off and take it to the shop. They charge $25.00 I if I bring in the wheel; $75.00 (highway robbery) if I bring in the bike.

I add a ignition module that didn't work anymore ....(for the second time) [bang] so I saw this wiring loom whit 2 ignitions modules on it on fleebay.... ;D I took a chance and both are working fine. it was from a 1997 monster. Mine is from 1995 + I get a lot of small "spare's" like signal relay, general relay , fuse box, connectors [bow_down]
+ the amount of electrical tape on the original wiring was a Little bit alarming and the wire braid was crack at a lot of places ....

it took 3 hours the first time ...lol I add issues in the beginning [bang]( rear red light didn't work) [bang] so I've reinstall the original one ....nope ...doesn't work [bang]
so restarted it the day after ... it took 10 min to take out the original -- 20 min to install the new one :o [thumbsup] ...once you know where everything goes it's a pretty easy job to do ....
consider that
you dint have to take out the regulator ...
you pop up the "ignition wires" ( there's just one connector that link all the ignition stuff it's near the 30A fuse on the side of the battery box)
all the rear section ( tail and signal light's) can be disconnect whit one connector

I love the disclaimer
QuoteNo it's not. According to the DMV a motorcycle or scooter without a license plate will be ticketed and or towed. PLATEPULLER is intended for use only in your garage or on private property. It is not designed for use on public property. Please review your local traffic laws before purchasing PLATEPULLER.
You will 100% get your bike towed if you live in a motorcycle unfriendly city like NYC. Or even a friendly city, the cop might think its stolen. You are better off covering your bike.

Because "Yellow Ducati" won't stand up in court and there's not a single man or woman in the NYPD with enough "give a shit" to bother to look at your headstock to put the VIN on a parking ticket.
We pay for our parking with CC cards that give you a little receipt to put in your window. On bikes, they either blow off or get stolen. Easier to remove your plate and walk away.

Imagine this scenario: I pull up to my Dr's office on Third Avenue and park legally. I buy a ticket. Knowing that it will either blow off, get stolen, or not get noticed by NY's finest if I tuck it under my seat cowl so only a bit of it is visible, I put said ticket in my wallet. Being a little bit early for my Dr's appt. I go next door to get a bottle of water. Coming out of the store, I see a patrolman about to write a ticket. I walk across the street, explain the situation and show him my ticket. You know what he says to me? "The best thing to do is to remove your plate." He walks away.
I go to my Dr appt. Coming out, I have a ticket. I see the patrolwoman up the street. I take my receipt, and show it to her. You know what she says to me? "You should have just taken your plate," and proceeds to tell me she can't void the ticket, to just send the ticket in, along with the receipt, and write, in the "Other" box on the back of the ticket for explanations, "Motorcycle."
What's a guy to do? ??? ??? ???
I take my plate.
I generally ALWAYS park legally, unless there isn't a space and I'll park on the sidewalk until one is. (Which, btw, I was advised to do by one of NY's finest, as long as I covered my bike or TOOK MY PLATE) I cover my bike when I'm home. When I'm out and about, it's too time consuming to cover my bike every time I stop.
Yes, NYC is a motorcycle unfriendly city and people are working on changing that. But in my short experience here, I've found the NYPD to be the most "regular Joe's" of any LEO's I've ever had the, uh, opportunity, to interact with. They have a job to do. They know the MC parking situation sucks, and they seem all too happy to accept even the slightest effort on your part to thwart their efforts as acknowledgment of that fact. [laugh]
Flip side of this is if they do go through the work you will get three tickets instead of one or they might (and have) tow or truck away your bike or scooter, and they are not gentle. Ever see a bike hanging off the back of a city tow truck? It ain't pretty. I would rather get the ticket

...
Thanks for the explanation. That sounds like a total pain in the ass. :-\
This plate puller thing is interesting...in my town people are pretty good about bike parking... 1 paid recipt per parking spot so bikes can fit 4 in a spot on 1 recipt, if youve got minutes left, you stick your recipt on the bike next to you, etc. Ive never had someone steal my recipt or have it blow off.. I usually just tuck half of it under the seat cowl or the gascap key cover. I can imagine pulling the plate getting you into trouble here... (that and I would be worried about someone else pulling my plate if I left it on the bike.)
In other news! Got my recipt from IMA special parts. Hopefully that means the stuff is in from across the pond and will ship out today! MOD2evo full triple trees and no-rise clipons! (sorry...cant link to pictures because IMA uses .php instead of normal images)

My rear tire picked up a nail .. second nail, this time it punctured near the side of the tire. The damn nail didn't go in straight and perpendicular ... but at an angle, slightly sideway. I plugged it, but a couple of days later while lubing the chain I noticed there's a bulge near the plugged hole. Time for a new tire.
The local dealer doesn't have pirelli angel in their stock so I called a dealer in another city, fortunatelly they have it in stock. Have them sent it to my local dealer and I will go there tomorrow.

Will re-do the lens properly in a bigger oven to avoid the uneven surface. Also have an acrylic lacquer on order, to keep the lens from scratching.
$121 and 7 1/2 hours at the DMV later.
NY plate.
Just got my DP comfort seat and my pretty little Rizoma (new style) frame plugs installed last night. I also added a full seat of two piece Dainese perforated "Alien" leathers with the red sleeves. Pics later. They feel great so I am gonna go ride a kinda crappy looking day.
After riding the seat I may have one (or two for sale) if I don't like the DP seat I am gonna go to Sargent.
Added the day after the ride with the new seat: I don't think I like it, too tall, still hitting my tank and the flat spot is so far back I have to sit next to the passenger pillion to get even close to comfy. It puts too much on my wrists to ride that far back ) :

Have all this waiting for assembly...
Is the 'Zero Gravity' brand name on the windscreen etched into the plastic, or is it just a sticker?
For my 749R land-speed racing bike:
No pictures on this update... BUT, I did order up the SpeedHut gauges and a MicroSquirt ECU today.
260mph GPS speedo 2 5/8" face
12K rpm tachometer 2 5/8" face
120'-260'F coolant temp 2 5/8" face
and a small shift-light
I was really happy to know that SpeedHut was able to make the 260kph speedo into a 260mph speedo for free. ;D
Corbin seat
Dual FCR's :D and a few closer shims.
O2 sensor bolt, transistion pipes, Red oil fill cap and getting my ECU flashed :D
Ducabike rear sets. Wasn't quite pleased with losing the rear brake return spring, so I contacted Woodcraft and can confirm that their 1.25" return spring kit works!
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8245/8649771568_9a913e2fec.jpg)
City bags,Sargnet seat ,Ducati open clutch cover, and S4 shop repair book.
New Goodyear FI fuel line, Oetiker clamps, MonsterParts LED turn signals for the front, DP Comfort seat and Rizoma Circuit 851 mirrors. I'm not too thrilled with the mirrors and will likely sell them. My cheap fuel line turned to plastic in the last 2 years.
"what did you just buy for your Ducati?"
Nothing yet...Just bought me a Ducati ;D
From 750 to 900ss

Oil change and new belts. Nothing exiting. Before that was a Shorai Battery from Monster Parts.
Ohlins rear shock has been ordered! Front springs next if still needed.
I just bouight a Shorai battery for my M695. About a 9lb. weight loss ... for the bike, anyway.

9lbs really? Another thread said the savings was 5.2 lbs. Did you weigh each yourself? What model shorai did you use?
Motodynamics integrated tail light and fender eliminator. Probably won't get them on until next weekend, though.
Mmmmm. I don't know; that's what I read ... I will weigh the old one sitting in my garage. If it isn't 9, it's for sure a lot. When I got the UPS package, I couldn't figure out what I had ordered that was so light; I was all "well it's sure as hell not the battery," then I opened it up. Amazing! Anyway, the website said like 9 lbs, but you're right, that could be wrong ... or my eyes are getting bad, whichever.
Okay, I confess. I'm a physics teacher, and I'm at work and the bike's home (32 out this morning) but the question was making me crazy so I got all the specs and did the math. I will still measure it when I get home, but the (theoretical) difference comes out to 8.34lbs. Whatever it actually turns out to be, I figure it's still going to be a pretty nice little weight reduction for what it took in $ and work. Should I post a tutorial, do you think? I did take some pics as I worked.

If you could actually weigh it that would put a nail in it. Most people don't care but I'm a weight loss junkie [thumbsup]. Straight from the Shorai website for their recommended LFX18a1-BS12 (I'm assuming this is the model you went with?):
"This LFX battery is 7.81 Lbs. lighter than the lead-acid YT14B-BS-D. For technical questions, please see the Shorai FAQ."
They list the LFX battery at 2.31lbs.
This thread: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=61980.30 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=61980.30) put the weight savings at from the Stock Yuasa --> Shorai LFX 18 at 5.2lbs:
A big, heavy ST2 3~ flywheel. To which, more weight will be added....

So we can skip over that whole discussion and get right back to Ducati stuff. Running a bit late on finishing up the winter TLC. Broken valve guide, tank had clear stripped off the top (no fault of my own) :'( , and the frame had some nicks and cover ups that have been needing to get fixed all items were previously black. I ditched the Boom Tubes and got a full Arrow with titanium cans the bike is still in pieces though.

What kind of black is that on the tank, Novello?
08 or 09 Challenger Brilant Black Pearl looks better now that it has been cleared. Looks black but when the light hits it the metalic comes a bit. It's a nice touch but I'm going to be fighting swirl marks till the end of my days lol.

Cool lookin' vintage "penis" tail light for my rat rod Monster. I like that it's well made from billet aluminum and has a glass lens, rather than the cheapiness of most tail lights.

wish I had better pics, it still wasn't finished when I took those, and I can't get a good shot where it's sitting currently amidst a mess of rags and tools. But it looks awesome, the case is silver, and the side covers, heads, and jugs are all gloss black.
This is my bike right now...haven't installed the tail light or the engine obviously. The result of my 4.5-5.5" wheel swap and Michelin Road 3's;

Set the sag and then back off the damping one click. Worked on mine. Maybe your forks will even work? 8) Mine did, but our forks are not identical.
Rode the beast yesterday. I ended up doing exactly what you just said. Holy smokes whoever does not have an Ohlins on their bike is missing out! I have been riding 30 years and this is the first aftermarket shockI have purchased. Rode stock shocks for 60,000 on three different bikes. All the while thinking it was fine. That was prior to buying the Ohlins. I will never again buy a bike that does not come with an Ohlins shock or one can't be fitted again. The difference is astounding.
The DU-737 is good value. There are a lot of "experts" out there and aftermarket is frequently worse unless a brand-specific guru developed it. I'm spoiled and know how it ought to work. I've got 50 years under my belt, so this isn't my first rodeo.
When I rode the demo, I picked the bike apart with the dealer when I got back. He's a retired AMA champion on Ducatis and an Ohlins specialist. Basically I told him that the fork was working so-so but the back end wasn't doing much other than not bottoming. I had this shock fitted prior to delivery. My dealer was prepared to rip into my Marzocchi fork after setting up the back end for himself. When he rode the bike though, he said both ends were well-balanced and he just didn't see any need.
I agree. The bike has excellent manners and no quirks. I could use 2mm more sag as he weighs a hair more than I do, but not worth the trouble.
Since I've had fancy Ohlins too, I can tell you that they are nicer, and smoother, but..., not $1,200 smoother! 8) Besides, if you got it that plush in the rear, you'd want to match it up front. Then you'd be talking serious nosebleed $$$. Fine if you've got the scratch. I'm retired and no longer that nuts! ;D
How do your forks work now? Better? Put the settings back to stock if you remember them. Let us know how that works. My 796 Marzocchis are not adjustable. No real complaints except that I'd like to try a better oil. I'm fairly sure that would make them smoother. Right now the factory fill is 7.5W Shell and I'd like to try 10W Spectro which is really a super smooth 8W and has given me great results in several BMW's and Ducatis. (I weigh 175+ plus gear.)
lol, I was out in the garage backing the pre-load off the front shocks as you typed your response! I have the tried and true zip tie telling me that since my rear end is not stuffing the front end into the tarmac by a "Fat American with a fat girlfriend on the back)" way too sprung rear shock; It may be possible that the front end I have whined about is fine.....
Still going to take it to Dave Moss ( :
New R/R and stator from Rick's Motorsports, Ducabike rear sprocket carrier, some exhaust heat shields and a new battery from Monsterparts.com.
Just ordered the instrument cover for my Monster so I can get rid of the little wind screen. And some clips ons, and some rearsets. The bike is almost done.

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/247prophet/Capture_zpsda8acf3f.jpg~original)
This is the factory that makes PSR stuff. The same plates are on ebay for as cheap as $60 often times. I'm certainly not knocking it...I buy a ton of it...just nothing with the PSR logo
So would you recommend this brand of plate? I've seen a lot of plates I like: Barnett, Speedy Moto, PSR, Rizoma...but they are mostly in the $150-$200 range. These seem like a steal for $60.00.

I honestly can't imagine any way they could be any less functional than a $250 plate. The anodizing is cheap, it tends to fade within a couple years, that's really it. I doubt any of the experts would disagree on that statement either.
As long as you can go to sleep at night knowing the chinese stole the original design from speedy moto.......

It was actually PSR (Powerstands) that stole it originally, and had it reproduced in a Chinese factory. "The Chinese" aren't responsible for stealing anything. It almost always starts with an unscrupulous westerner.
What's kind of amusing about PSR is this; virtually EVERY Chinese made knock off you see in regards to motorcycle parts was originally made to have a PSR logo stamped on it. The CRG mirrors...Speedymoto PP's...the DP oil caps...everything PSR sells is a knock off. Most knock offs are either a white guy reverse engineering the product to begin with, or a company looking to save some cash and sending the blueprint to CN for cheap manufacturing in the first place, foolishly not realizing that it's bound to happen.

Is that a PSR? I hope you didn't pay too much.

This is the factory that makes PSR stuff. The same plates are on ebay for as cheap as $60 often times. I'm certainly not knocking it...I buy a ton of it...just nothing with the PSR logo
I got it from a member here for $75+shipping. So can't complain about the price. The PSR packaging says made in Taiwan, which I generally associate with higher quality products. That also made me believe that it wasn't just another chinese knock-off (and the fact that it had an original price tag of $210). If PSR just relabels/repackages the chinese knock-offs from ebay that is seriously deceptive, but it is good information for noobs like me to know (this is my 1st Ducati). Thanks
EDIT: I will note that the machining on it is quite low quality (rough edges, slight imperfections). You wouldnt notice this from normal viewing distances, but anyone looking at PSR should know that this is not a high quality product.

Oh, I'm sure the quality is fine. But it's been well known that PSR is a company built on stealing designs in a lot of moto circles. I've compared the PSR crankcase breathers side by side with the no name chinese ones...absolutely identical. Those were originally swiped from STM I believe. Slingshot Racing is another one that does the exact same thing as PSR. Just re-labels chinese ones. The only mistake I think you made with your PSR plate is paying too much...the ethical side is something that can be argued several different ways and I won't get in to that.
*edit- $75 isn't a bad price, I withdraw the "paying too much" comment
I seriously dislike using any companies products that are a rip off of an original design. When Americans complain about a lack of manufacturing jobs don't forget about how much money you saved on that pressure plate. Walmart costs US taxpayers 3 Billion a year is food stamps, welfare and health care every year. Yet who shops there? The very people that no longer have good jobs..... Yup you save a few bucks but at what actual price?
Buying knock offs is seriously short sighted. Personally I would rather ride a dead stock Duc than mod it up with cheap knock-offs. thats just me though I see the long term hurting that companies like PSR put on people. Been there myself. I once turned down a 200k order from a big box store because the required me to outsource it to China. Better broke than a whore.
as long as I like it and it funtional and the price is right then I'll use it. Don't matter who make them, dont get me wrong, I love Rizoma and all but it's just too expensive (yes i know Ducati not equal to cheap), but can't justify myself buying a $200+ pressure plate.
I could be wrong but it's not like the design is paten pending, they look similar (maybe 99%) but not the same.
After all you get what you pay for...name brand stuff, you get more than just the quality (and that debatable of worth it or not).
For the FCR 41's I bought awhile ago, which were for the 900ss engine I bought awhile ago, both of which are FINALLY in my once meek M750. Meek no more, she's a god damn ANIMAL! W-O-W :D so fukn stoked...

You realize you're riding a Ducati right?
So your point about supporting American companies seems kind of moot.

Maybe you need to read what he said? Nothing whatever to do with buying "American". But I'm PD sure Sky wouldn't be buying a Chinese L-Twin knock-off. 8)

Nothing whatever to do with "buying American". Everything to do with, "I seriously dislike using any companies products that are a rip off of an original design." Creative thinking and R&D aren't free.

Until your anodizing fades :p
Thanks for the support Curmudgeon. You are correct I never said buy American. I said don't buy from companies that knock off others designs. If a Chinese company did the R&D to make a nice Duc bit I would happily buy from them if I liked the piece. Don't get me wrong I would buy American in a second flat; if they did not rip someone else's design.
It is all about taking care of those that take care of us. When you buy a knock off you are supporting thieves. Thieves do not contribute to making nice parts for my bike. Hence I will spend the extra cash to get an original part. The other side is I can go without if I can't afford the shiny bit. Face it, Ducs are sweet when stock.
Put on a knock off part and you are just a poser...................... Buy a Honda.

But don't forget, it was Siochiro's dumping in the '70's which nearly wiped out the whole European bike industry and Toyota (Lexus) in the 80's which nearly wiped out ALL the luxury European marques (my old biz) and the FTC never DID catch on to that financial machination. In those years it was the Japs who made all the knock-offs.
Had they won, we'd all be driving/riding appliances today. (Not that the Euro bike manufacturers didn't need a wake-up call..., but they didn't need to compete with bikes which were selling at half what it cost to make them either!)

Some people would call it a crowfoot wrench, it is a home made tool that allows you to torque the head cylinders to spec. The ducati one is too expensive.
I just bought another Chinese knock off because I wanted something cheap to fill the ugly front axle hole.

I spent 2 years in Richmond in my 20's and loved it there. Went back recently on business and was really dissapointed how all the old hangout spots and dive bars in my old 'hood were torn down or turned into crap like Jimmy Johns and Chipotle, but such is life. Still a dope city with cool peeps.

Stormtrooper, where did you get the carbon fiber undertail? Love it! You also make me want to change my headlight really bad! Good work man.

That being said had Dave Moss tweak my suspension. No need for new springs my dealer/suspension tuner was an idiot. She rides like a bat out of hell now!

Just bought a new Competition Werkes tail light integrator (turn signals integrated into the tail lights) and "standard" license plate relocator. Really cleans up the tail end of the Panigale!
Visited their place just south of Eugene while I was there on business and was mighty impressed with the fact that they build their exhaust systems on site including machine work and welding. I was so impressed that I had them set Desert Desmo up as a dealer for their product!
Pics if anyone is interested.

No, I wish but I work PT/oncall at a local shop and we get employee pricing from Ducati. I also heard that they are really short staffed right now so it could be the reason it took so long to process the order. I'm still waiting for the check for the bike, but hey I get to take the parts home.

Will this fit current model monsters, specifically M696? Ebay listing says "Monster Most 2V 4V". The stealership charges $90 for the plastic one thats prone to splitting (causing oil leak) because of the 2 part epoxied construction.
I'm not sure...Ducati Omaha has an online parts fiche, look up the item number and see if they cross reference.

I'll post my thoughts on this bad boy when I receive it. I'm gonna dissect it.
I have been wanting to get rid of the oil can reservoirs and found these off an SF from a DMF member. I am still trying to balance them out but for a couple reason they will not get even. I like the bars a lot, a little lower but the angle is what makes them comfortable.
Later : I forgot to mention compared to stock the angle of the SM bars makes it easier to keep your elbows in, almost forces them in a little, nice.

Looking good already! Can't wait to see the final outcome. I just got my housing in the mail, will be posting pics.
Get ready for a few pics.
I'm working on a new headlight project, inspired by a fellow member - Mr. Stormtrooper.
I bought an LED headlight:

Thanks to Stormtrooper, it's ready to plug-and-play
It's a little bright:

The long-term goal for the bike is to mix some vintage and modern elements to make a cafe-racer (with a child on the way, this just became a loooooong term goal [roll]), so to that end, I bought a headlight housing from a 1966 Ducati Monza:

And of course, I had to start stripping it:

I didn't have time to take a decent pic of the bare metal version (ran out of daylight), but needless to say, updates will be upcoming.

The bag has 19 L capacity each, so it's about 38 L both. Add my Kriega US-30 if I necessary... then I will have a total of 68 L. I think that should be enough ;D I guess I'm slowly turning it into a touring bike.
Here's how it looks, when I did a load test. Right bag contained rain gear, tire plug kit, tire pressure gauge, Topeak mountain morph hand pump, USB cables, chargers, battery pack, extras bungee cords, a bottle of octane booster, spare levers, and a tool kit. The left side contained clothes in a drybag, a pair of docker pants, shorts, 3 polo shirts, some underwear, one pair of socks, Levi's jacket, and sandals.
I think it's good for a week ride ;D

That saddlebag setup looks great! Happy traveling!
I just ordered in a set of shorty dB killers from fleabay for my Termys.
Quat D Ex-Box Full System Exhaust, all 12.5 lbs of it. We weighed it but didn't weigh the stock system but it's a pig.
Integrated tail light but didn't hook up the blinkers, at least for now. I really like the little Barracuda blinkers I put on it.
TechSpec Gripsters for the tank (not in the pictures but on the bike now).

I have never heard a box system, compared to Termo's what do they sound like? That looks sweet cleaner. Can I beg of you to say the price of the Box?
Oil!! Castrol full synth 20-50 Harley oil, hope Donald doesn't reject it!
First oil change since the 1k break in service in Oct of '11. Fookin' DPO.

I haven't had a chance to compare them to my friend's Termis. I can say that they sound so much better than the quiet stock ones.
I called Randy at Bellissimoto to see if he had something used for sale. A customer with an S4RS ordered the system and sent it right out for ceramic coating. When he went to put it on he discovered the error of his ways. So it'd been sitting around and he sold it to me for $1200. It was a snug fit and it took Justin at Bellissimoto a good deal of time to get the whole thing to line up and slide into place. After that the ECU was plugged up to the laptop and the fuel/air mixture was trimmed using an exhaust sniffer. It runs great and sounds nice. Good, deep throaty sound. I had never heard one before but heard they sounded good and now I'm a big fan.

I had to leave the passenger pegs on so we could use them as handles to get that thing up in a full sized pick-up. Now they're off except when the wife is drunk and will ride on the death trap, as she calls it.
I'm thinking about taking off the covers, want to see what's under there first. Right now I'm just happy to be rid of the udder.
Steve is that my old pressure plate? Glad to see it lives again!

It is indeed your old one. It got out on after my road trip. The cover is the first clutch cover I bought for my first Duc. Like your new set up, looks like a revolver. Very nice.

S4R, metal tank, smaller engine
My fuse block just arrived from Eastern Beaver! Hoo Hoo! Now I have to find a switched power line to tap into, and it is starting to give me palpitations. Everything is so tightly bundled!
Anyone have any suggestions? Is the yellow one in the back good? What about a wire going to to the rear brake light switch?

Don't know if you want to go to this much trouble, but I did this a few years ago on my S2R for the heated grips. It gives a place to grab power for a few extra bits you may want/need.

The Eastern Beaver stuff is a pre-packaged version of this, plug and play. My issue is isolating a piece of wire to attach the switched wire to. With the CW tail tidy the wires aren't very accessible. Maybe a wire coming from the back of the main fuse block would work. Tomorrow I need to go transfer the title, so I can't pop the tank until after that.
Nice. Wish I'd known about that back then. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure I used the license plate light as the tap-in. Hid everything behind the side cover.
Gets here Monday! I will be certain to post up some pics mounted and my own ride review [thumbsup]
PS I have a DP comfort seat with 30 miles on it for $175.00. Dead perfect condition, just did not like it.

Get ready for a few pics.
I'm working on a new headlight project, inspired by a fellow member - Mr. Stormtrooper.
I bought an LED headlight:
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7288/8745631186_88738eeeb8_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/76218771@N03/8745631186/)
Thanks to Stormtrooper, it's ready to plug-and-play
It's a little bright:

The long-term goal for the bike is to mix some vintage and modern elements to make a cafe-racer (with a child on the way, this just became a loooooong term goal [roll]), so to that end, I bought a headlight housing from a 1966 Ducati Monza:

And of course, I had to start stripping it:

I didn't have time to take a decent pic of the bare metal version (ran out of daylight), but needless to say, updates will be upcoming.
On the wishlist:

Thats Retro-badass there! Cant wait to see the final results. Is the Monza headlight the one with speedo mounted into the back of it?
I got my Q2 mounted up this weekend, had to drop the cluster another 1.5" to make it look right. Light output is insane [Dolph] Gives the bike an even more 'bionic' look [laugh].

If you can find a used pig-tail of the guage for your bike...I suggest do so just in case you want to go back if you don't like to look of the new gauge. Ii did this buy purchased a gauge (with all the harness inside it) for my bike model and just used that to hook up with the Danmoto while the OEM gauge still untouched.

This guy asked me at the gas station yesterday if the headlight was pulled from an Audi...not sure if that was a compliment or insult lol. The exhaust project is done. I may coat or wrap the pipes eventually but for now I'm diggin' the polished look. The multistrada belly is on the to-do list. I needed to stop wrenching on this thing and actually ride it!
Ducati is part of the Audi family isn't it? ;D nice looking bike!

Whether it's loved or hated by some of ya'all...my Monster is going to be a true one-off :P I can't wait to post the full build thread.

Please take photos of the finished product - ideally the light output, before and after, against a wall [beer]
The one picture they show is without any cut off at all.... let's hope it's the high beam.
It would be great if this is an affordable alternative [thumbsup]

This looks to be somewhat of a knock off of a...gulp...Hardley Ableson product called the "Daymaker" headlight. I very rarely like Hardley shit but I loved that headlight when I saw it, however they want $400 for it and funk that. Their's is brighter than hell, so if this has half the output I'll be happy. I'll post a detailed review, sure, I didn't know their was a lot of interest in this kind of stuff around here.
I wanna take that comment back actually, it's distinctly different from the Harley light. 3 Eyes as opposed to 2, styled differently, 7" instead of 5 3/4", and $100 instead of $500. Here's another site that sells it even cheaper..I can't find it anywhere in the U.S so far.

Quote from: Stormtrooper on June 08, 2013, 08:26:36 PM
What's the lumen output of this headlight?
It only lists the wattage, which is 3X3. So, @ 160 lumens per watt I guess that's 480 lumens on the low beam and 1440 on high beam? the high beam uses all 3 LED's.
Yea, now you have me curious so I'm researching it. They made no claim as far as lumens go, which concerned me at first but a lot of motorcycle LED headlight manufacturers including big names like PIAA don't either. :-\. Measuring lumens by wattage of cool white LED's is apparently not accurate as I'd previously thought. A brain like Ducatiz could probably shed some light on this.
And now just bought some bling.... Bought a few DucaBike parts from BellisiMoto, as well as a paddock stand to make life easier for working on it. Ohhhh this bike is going to cause a bad addiction to modding like my Jeep has been so far! Haha [evil]

Mine took a minute since none of it was in stock, but from Italy to SC to my door wasn't more than a week. If its in stock it ships USPS priority, so depending how far from SC no more than a couple days. I had mine the day after it shipped from Greenville.
Creeper vans are a must! Unless you're single and it's your only transportation, lol.
Buck, make sure you post pictures! I wanna see that stuff installed. [thumbsup]
OK, list of articles received that will go on the bike:
Oil cooler from a SS900
Valve cover for supporting above mentioned oil cooler
Belly pan, weather is not helping with repainting in matching black colour
By-pass spring . . . hate to drain 1000kms old synthetic oil . . .
RCS Clutch master will go back on bike

Love the Ducabike stuff. Just got a box full of Ducabike bling from Bellissimoto myself! Gas cap, oil plug, sprocket cover, and frame plugs.

You will not be disappointed with the DB stuff you just got. Have all of what you just bought but the sprocket cover. Think people are really beginning to dig the stuff tehy produce.
Ducabike Sprocket Carrier and shiny aluminum nuts. Silly bike. Silly man [Dolph]

Thats Retro-badass there! Cant wait to see the final results. Is the Monza headlight the one with speedo mounted into the back of it?
I got my Q2 mounted up this weekend, had to drop the cluster another 1.5" to make it look right. Light output is insane [Dolph] Gives the bike an even more 'bionic' look [laugh].

You still have a chance to not install the dan moto........ Zard makes some pretty affordable pipes. Less than Termi's more than dan moto....

I agree they aren't the best. And one the I've learned in life is that you get what you pay for. But $200 vs $600+ is a big factor for me right now. I'll see how they go, and probably use the time to paint the stock cans using a tutorial someone else posted. It seems a shame to bolt on "unworthy" parts to my Stella, but my wallet makes a strong argument. I'll see how it goes once they show up.

LOL. Stormtrooper actually comes from by girlfriends first impression of the bike when I brought it home. She stared at it a minute and said, "it reminds of one of those storm trooper things from star wars". We both laughed and the nickname stuck. I guess the smashed face, bulbous tank, and matte white paint does look the part!
I ordered my smoked led integrated tail light last night. Can't wait!!! [Dolph]
Was very happy to see the mailman! All I'm waiting on now is my air filter, grips and pod back so I can remove the wind screen for an even lower look up front. Now if only the rain would hold out long enough for install.

Installing tomorrow!!

It's your $ and your bike. Anyone who wants to say something about it, not worth sweating
Just grabbed a carbon rear hugger, carbon chain guard and carbon exhaust shields from Monster parts. Was gonna grab the radiator cover but it was out of stock :'(
My bike is like church, I have to pay my monthly tithe ;D
I've had a busy week or so ordering stuff for my S2R. I was going to buy another bike for touring or something...watched The Long Way Round, Ewan McGregors trip around the world, and it got me all fired up. However a little reality set it and I realized I didn't need to spend ten grand on a used bike. However, since rationalization is such a wonderful thing it made sense for me to buy all the stuff I've been wanting to put on my bike. After all, anything less than the ten K I was planning on spending is saving right? So in the last week or so I have ordered:
RaceTeck fork rebuild
Penske Rear Shock
Rizoma reservoirs
Pazzo Levers
and a couple other little things. I want to protect that rear shock but can't tell which huggers will do the job. I really don't want to spend two hundred on the shift tech, but will if that's the only option..any suggestions would be most welcome. The hard part is that the bike is 1500 miles away and I won't see it or work on it until Aug:(

Add the Caribean cruise you won't be taking and your even better off - almost earning money on mods...
Shift Tech hugger does a great job for the shock, but if you can accept a hidden shock... there are those cheap sock type of protectors.
I wish they made a carbon "shorty" hugger that fit my hooped Monster. I'd be all over it, those things are rude looking

Man I don't know about the sock or the bottle, I like seeing the shock, but in the progression from free, $16 to $225 sure gives me pause has to how much I need to see it lol.

Forgot I also ordered new grips from Monster Parts and will probably be getting some grip heaters.
I do have a question about the Rizoma fluid reservoirs, Do I have to get the brackets as well, or will they mount to my stock S2R 1K ones?
Picked up some new stuff and a good bit of used stuff from Adam (DrDesmosedici) on here. Only thing left to do is put on the used belly pan which will happen tonight if it isn't raining.

If it stays dry long enough, I'll actually remove the frame warning/info stickers, remove the chain guard, wash the daylights out of it, and take good photos. Until then, she looks like that.
^^ you do realize you installed your tail light upside down right?
Just realized I never posted these..and since I have bought a ton of stuff lately I feel like I should have posted something. So here is a pic of my clutch cover and then my feeble attempts at painting it. Sorry for the crap pic but the light was bad and the camera wouldn't lock on.

I do. When I was hooking up the whole thing in my living room, I thought it looked better. Once I put it all on the bike, I was torn and trying to fight the weather. I didn't spend the time switching it back to compare on the actual bike. I don't think it looks bad, but I don't think it looks good enough to counteract all the people who will inevitably say "you realize your tail light is upside down, right?" ;)
I'll probably switch it back this weekend. We'll see. Luckily it all bolted together nice and easy, so it *shouldn't* be hard to reverse.

I really like them. They roll in quite predictably and for riding the canyons around here they stuck incredibly well. Took them out on a couple of 100+ days and they never got that greasy feel that some other tires get. The front tire has never pushed on me and I only engaged the level 1 traction control on the rear twice, both times pushing pretty hard out of a turn.......
I am all about the tires and have ridden a fair number of flavors. This is one of the few times I have put the same kind of tires on twice in a row. It will take some kind of crazy advancement in rubber technology to make me want to research anything new. When they work this well I don't want to change them [Dolph]
I could have pushed them to 5k and still seen some shadow of tread, however I like fresh tires when riding alone.
Thanks! Just wanted to make sure the dual compound didn't make them less grippy. The Rossos work great. Very old-school Metzeler Comp-K. Progressive and lots of warning. Agreed: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and oil and tires are cheap! ;)

Where do you go for Duc service in ATL? When I lived there I rode old Hondas and Triumph and went to British In The City, was before I became a Duc head. There's a Duc specialist somewhere in 5 Points but I can't remember his name. I miss Atlanta.

For valves & belts I take my bike to Lorin Tinkle who used to be the head mechanic at the Duc Shop and works out of his garage on the weekends. I also have a friend who knows what he's doing so I go do what I can at his house and he jumps in to save my ass when it's needed. Where in Atlanta did you live? By the way, British in the City is still here but moved to a bigger place right by Memorial Ave and Moreland Ave.
New tires, chain, and sprockets. Nothing exciting or sexay, but it's nice to have the bike back in proper shape again!

Got my IMA triples, DP fender, LED round headlight with custom brackets, 900 Supersport retro tank badges and Oberon billet turn signals all mounted up. The flat paint job on the fender sux, going to strip and attempt again. The steering feels heavenly with the new roller bearings, the old ones were shot.

the 749 shock I installed on my bike is almost perfect . . .but will redo front and rear . .. next year and want to go BiTubo all out
If that shock works as well as an Ohlins I want one. My GF keeps bugging over the yellow shock spring. She thinks it is the ugliest part of the bike and wants me to send it back to Ohlins for a different color spring [roll]
I keep telling her to wait until the remote reservoir upgrade comes out so I can kill two birds with one shipping invoice.

Quite a bit cheaper than the Ohlins, I got mine for over $500 and well under $700. Looks even better IRL...I can't wait to see it on my bike. Then I'll need to add red bling like a new pressure plate...gas cap...levers...sigh.
Called Bellissmoto to purchase some shiny carbon and Scott asked if I had a steering damper yet. Without crossing any lines on his part I instantly felt stupid for buying bling before a safety device. Needless to say I now have a shiny black Bitubo damper on the way.
Someone please get this needle out of my arm! I am still gonna finish the carbon.........

I have the same tires. We've been drenched in Northern Ohio lately and these have been spectacular.

Sorry, just noticed this! TBH I haven't even gotten to ride at night yet with my new set up or tuned the aim of the thing. I've been meaning to set it up with a brick wall and take photos.

I was going to say...it looks like it's aimed a little high. Looking forward to what the final aim will be and some pics of it at night.
Aesthetically, looks good.

Those Arrows look really beautiful. Really love the look of it.
Just ordered 3yds of Carbon Fiber to make some of my own pieces. Once they're done (assuming they work out) I'll post pictures.

Can't keep my nose out of the catalogs... Just ordered up a Red Ducabike and Carbon Fiber front sprocket cover! Should look nice with the Ducabike rear sprocket carrier I bought a couple weeks ago [Dolph]

Just got done installing the Givi 780FZ kit which looks good but did have to make some modifications on my passenger grips and re-install the stock fender (yelk)
at least I was able to save the exhaust by attaching it to their bracket.
Went through and replaced all of this BS:

on the clutch and brake master mounts with shiny new stainless...

Now I'm addicted, need to do all the engine covers, front fender, hugger, M8's for the calipers and dash mount, etc. I should have snapped before/after pics, it's a really worthwhile detail for those of us with older Monsters.
Just ordered some black CNC Racing frame plugs for me and an atomic tail chop kit for the Fiancé. (Who doesnt even have her 796 yet)!! :D
So i realized today, it will be cool but pricey with both of us having monsters, now i will have to mod both of these suckers out!
Always liked the look of the MIVV exhaust!

K&N crankcase filter- allowed me to get rid of the plastic overflow tank along with a mess of rubber tubing. Was having so much fun I decided to rip out that ugly black box hanging off of the motor.

Thanks, put it on the card myself;) Nothing in the way of mounting hardware for the reservoir was included, most people use a hose clamp? and if so pad it with some sort of rubber piece?
The most common method is exactly that, hose clamps and some kind of rubber to protect the frame and prevent the reservoir from moving. Were it I installing it there would have to be a nice CNC bracket that given enough cash someone on this board could probably make.
Just a note if you go hose clamps get them in stainless from a place like West Marine. [beer]

Ducabike 6 spring slipper. All snotty after a long ride. So far I've only used the "street" springs but I really love it. I can still engine brake but now I can jam down the gears charging into a corner without thinking twice. I guess I never did learn how to rev match properly... :-\. It also feels like it pulls out of first way stronger and is without a doubt way quieter, and I didn't even use fresh plates.

Just ordered the Riding House belly pan for the S4RS. Wanted it for years and with the ongoing debasement of the JPY the price has dropped 20%.
Ordered it through Webike because Riding House will not ship out of Japan.

For that price, if they last the rest of the year, you got a bargain. Buying them thru amazon will probably get you a return policy if they fail. Nice score.

I have these on my bike and the mirrors themselves are good quality (as opposed to the excellent quality of the Rizoma's), however, the paint finish wasn't soo good on mine. Very thin...maybe 1 or 2 coats only. Be careful during installation not to breathe too hard on them or they will scratch.
The other recommendation I have for you is to tighten them with a powered tool (as opposed to just the included tool). I tightened as much as I could and it wasn't enough. They moved at highway speeds...violently sometimes, slamming into my hands.
Personally, I love the look and the price. I wasn't expecting AMAZING quality, so I was happy with what I got. I live in Florida, without a garage, and while I keep my bike covered when not in use, I commute on the bike a lot. I know I'm going to have to paint them again by the end of the year (fading).
Here are a couple of pics of my bike with the mirrors installed:

Ah c'mon little farkles don't count! Those never end.
BTW for those sanctimonius types; I feel slightly entitled here since I have real deal Rizoma rear sets. Besides...you can't copyright a damn mirror shape! I'll fasten them with my Rizoma end caps and they'll look real :P
Buck, Feeling a little defensive? ;D
Real men don't need mirrors.
Yea maybe?!? So what! Haha.
Oh btw FLL_D your bike looks great! And so do the mirrors!

Givi tank-lock bag I scored on Ebay for $50.00. The white stripe around the lid must act as a reflector.
These tank-lock systems are slick, it literally takes less than five seconds to attach or remove.
Duster, please let me know your experience with it at highway speeds. I've been meaning to get one for a while but I ride on the highway a lot and was afraid the mounting point is too small and the bag sticks out too high and would be affected by the wind.
Looks like you got yourself a good deal for $50

I've got the huge one, and it sticks just fine at 80 on the clocks. It's actually better than the strap mount bag I used to use.

The bag I bought is a semi-hard bag, so it holds up well at high speeds. The tank-lock is incredibly solid. I trust it more than magnets or straps. The only thing I might be worried about is that I could inadvertently trigger the release switch while riding at higher speeds. The release switch sticks out a bit past the bag, and with a pair of gloves on my clumsy hand might accidentally hit it.

the black exbox is one of the best looking applications i've seen. [evil]
Upgraded the little S2R with a new chain (DID 525 XW black on gold) and 2 new sprockets (15 front and changed from 41 to 43 at the rear). Got myself the Ducati performance sprocket at the rear, feels like 2 kgs less (not that I notice while driving). Pretty pleased with this upgrade, especially while future changes don't require dismantling all at the rear.

Ducej,
Nice sprocket. 8)
By the way, did you feel the need to gear a bit lower? I have an 07 S2R 1000, but I want a bit taller gearing if anything. I tend to buzz through the gearbox with a 41 rear & 15 front. I was thinking of going down to a 39 on the rear when it comes chain & sprocket time. To me, the strength of the S2R 1000 motor is the strong torque curve from about 4,000 to 6,000 rpm, and I'm usually shifting up at about 5,500.
Just curious because I hear about many people who switch to a 14t front.
Thx Desert Dust.
The 14 teeth mod is an easy going modification for higher revs / lower top speed. I opted for the 15 t in front and 43 rear as this gives a little less strain on the chain, and less risk of the chain rubbing against the swingarm. In general, 2 teeth up at the rear equals more or less 1 tooth down in front. I prefer a little lower top speed for higher revs at low speed. The 800 (and I think also the 1000) doesn't feel very comfy with low revs, especially in heavy traffic driving. With the 43 I have less chain slapping and hacking, therefore smoother acceleration but yes little higher revs at high speed. I don't do track driving and not much of highway driving so for me this is fine. The good thing about the ducati performance sprocket is that it is easy and relatively cheap to change the rear ratio to a 44 or even 45 teeth setup.
To have it explained very clear how ratio's are related you can use this link: http://www.gearingcommander.com/ (http://www.gearingcommander.com/)

You can tell me Nooo to my face ;D on Aug. 16 when the bike shows up in Indy [beer]. Still keeping the steel racing pipes but they need to be welded and cut down a bit. Sending a note to StradaFab to see what he can do with'em.
Not sure how you can't like the QD though, look at that sexy ass rear wheel.

Im sure the reason he can dislike it is because it puts an ugly big box in front of the tire..... kinda clutters it up IMO. Yes the tire/swingarm are VASTLY improved but its just adding a brick in front of it. I mean you might as well just run udders and save yourself the cash! Boom tubes look best in my eyes.... but I know the volume is killer.

You couldn't have posted this at a better time. I was just looking for one of these for myself!
i found that hand pump vacuum to be a terrible waste of time. thankfully they're not too pricey. i'm not saying this to be a dick. it's just that i bought one 6 months ago. it results in a mess, it doesn't hold the vacuum all that well, and it adds pumping with your hand to an operation that could already benefit from having 3 hands without the pump.
i got good at the old school method, and in worst case scenarios, raising your nipple so it's the highest point. anyway, i hope you have better luck than i did. bleeding sucks, but that pump doesn't, but it does, but it doesn't..... i'm hilarious
Yeah, it was $29 so even if it does suck, it's all good. :)

I'm shopping looking at both. I know the the speedymoto doesn't have any logic on when it flashes and when it doesn't. I also know they don't have any smoke lenses in stock :D. I would love to see a side by side brightness comparison!
The Motodynamics for first gen Monsters are junk IME and in the case of most ppl I know. After nothing but probs I bought a $30 Chinese eBay version and it's been problem free for 2 years.
The SupaNova looks bright as all hell based on the YouTube vids I saw for it.

Scrub A Dub Dub, Get That Girl Sold!!
I've been wanting the Vizi-Tec HSi forever and as a result of a parking spot tip-over >:(, I had a little extra insurance $ to put towards the light instead of replacing an otherwise functional Rizoma mirror that just suffered some minor scuffs, nothing a sharpie couldn't fix. Either way this light is awesome and worth every penny. I never looked into other LED tail light setups because I knew this one is the one I wanted. I like having turn signals so having integrated ambers wasn't a feature that I needed.
I guess the main thing that sold me on this light was the fact that you can adjust it to what brightness you want, low, medium, and "get off my 6 or I'll keep blinding you" - high. For normal daytime use I keep it on the default medium. Haven't really ridden at night yet to use the low setting.
The other thing I liked about this light was the SupaBrake Algorithm. It doesn't just flash 3 times every time you hit the brakes. It knows when and how to flash depending on the time that's passed between hitting the brakes. Why do I like this? So if I'm stuck in stop-and-go traffic, I don't get the "flash-flash-flash-solid" all the time. You also get more modulation as time increases between hitting the brakes. But I think deep down, I got it mainly because it's freakin' bright. I don't think I'll be using it on the high setting, but I like having it there if I want to use it. It also has a "force-flash" feature where if you hold the brake for 3 seconds, release and hit the brakes again (within .5 second), you'll get a burst of flashes.
Overall, I couldn't be happier. I commute daily and I know this light is getting more attention over the stock light. Thanks Vizi-Tec and a shout out to Bernard for making a kick-ass product!
An aluminum nut for the fuel level sensor. The cheapo plastic one on my 2000 Monster 900 with about 7K miles was cracking around its circumfrence, the result of using a plastic nut in a relatively high torque setting. Aluminum or some other metal should have been used from the start.
Kind of a PITA to change but would have been easier if I had realized you have to disassemble the 4 pin electrical connector that connects the sensor to the wiring loom to slip the old nut off and the new nut on. You DO NOT have to remove the wires inside the tank. The factor and Haynes manuals do not address this specific issue--only changing out the entire sensor. That was a lot of PITA work that I did not have to do. I was a bit stumped so called the guys at Moto Forza in Escondido and they explained how you can disassemble the connector. Now, Ducati could have used a different connector than a four in a row to make this job oh so simple. Freaking engineers!
Thanks, some good options to think about. I had the MD light on my 796, nary a problem or issue until the bike got smashed. Was going to get one for the S2R, guess now I will debate if the fancy flashing setup is worth the extra ducats.
Just installed Kriega Rack loops. When I used the Kriega bags on my seat and strapped to the frame, the bags moved around a lot. I also wasn't able to take off my seat without unloading everything. Now that's not an issue. On top of that, non-slip pad with a bungee net and I'll be able to carry 12 packs of beer.
I wouldn't have done it if the fit and finish wasn't as top notch as it is.

Worth their weight in gold ain't they? Did you bend any levers or rash the pipes?
I was amazed at how little damage I had. Yes, there was just a small rash on the pipes, but it's almost invisible after five min. of work with some light sand paper and a sharpie. I did break the toe piece off of the rear brake lever, but I think I can get it welded. The repair cost for the whole deal was under $100.00.
Just installed Rizoma spy-R 80 bar end mirrors, they are the best. I can't believe I waited so long and waisted money on standard mirrors!
I also replaced the stiff Speedymoto pressure plate springs with a set of corse dynamics polished springs from Motowheels. The clutch pull now feels perfect to me!

Storm, you know me - I'm a fan of your bike...especially your headlight. But I feel that this muddles the front lines a bit and detracts from that awesome headlight.
One question: any drawbacks from running without belt covers. Love the look, but I've been afraid to do it here in FL where it rains ALL. THE. TIME. right now.
Not a fan. Maybe if you had the square LED headlight still, it would look alright. Or if you stacked another light like you have on top of the current one.
Lemme know if ya wanna sell it ST. :) all seriousness, it's not really working with your bike and I could use it for my long ass intercontinental ride I still want to take :P
Ya know what would look really nice is TWO of those skinny headlights one mounted on top of the other and slightly rearward of the other. I liked the bigger headlight better in that it had some substance. The smaller one looks like something fell off ;D

I just picked up a nice little Rizoma MA005 handlebar in Black. Kinda wanted the silver but was told it is a poor match for the stock silver on my 2013 EVO. Hopefully this bar will allow a little more seat time before the body starts to hurt. After riding the Multistrada for five days and 2350 miles I have to say that being a bit more upright was not a bad thing.
Two broken collarbones and a broken wrist have taken their toll on leaning forward a lot. If the bar does not help me get through 300 miles without pain I may end up trading her in for a Multi..... :'( Don't want to though as my Monster has a huge parts list........ Suppose I could pull all the aftermarket stuff and trade it in stock but really really want this bar to workout!

Who told you that?!!! ??? What was HIS agenda? No conflict in colors at all..., just much more nicely finished. I've posted this many times before. You might want to consider those Tech Spec pads too and they REALLY take a lot more weight off at lower speeds in combination with the bar.

Had the dealer fit mine prior to delivery. (Not my first rodeo either. ;)) No parts needed but minor rerouting might be required. When I picked it up, I couldn't adjust the mirrors adequately and the dealer (and I mean dealer principal) redrilled the holes for the instrument locating pin accordingly, so you want to be there when yours are fitted. Angle of the bar might need to be tweaked a hair for tank clearance. The "Rizoma" appears in the "window" on the bar clamp more or less centered, maybe a hair high.
Model is MA008A. If you don't have the 796 riser, swap that out too. I believe the later EVO's have it though. The 2011 didn't and was 20mm lower. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562 (http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562)

I hate/love Acc and mods. You guys make my S4Rs feel like a sled, but I love it. Comments about the the shield mudding up a good thing are right. I like mine but it is larger and does a good job of breaking up the flow, yours being small can't be worth what it takes away from the rest of your bike. Nay

Have the same bars on my Monster. Super Comfy.
Someone get this freaking needle out of my arm!
Just bought a 15t front and a 41 rear sprocket. Realized that the 14tooth front had lowered the chain height enough that the chain is chewing through the rubber swing arm guard. So I bought a 15 tooth front and upped the rear two teeth. that should save the swing arm from damage and provide a nice balance between teh uber low 14t and teh way too tall 15 tooth.
Mo money mo money mo money!
Now you will need a new longer chain.
Yea, thought I would...... Bike has 6k on it and all the sprockets/ chain looks great still so I will keep them in case I decide to do a big freeway ride someday......
On Monday, I am gonna go buy one of the X-ring chains that comes in black.......
Had to add: wrong sprocket. The one the guy handed me was for a DSW I have a SSW. Thought it looked skinny.......
Should start a "what does not fit a 2013 Evo thread". This is the first bike I have had that requires a ton of research prior to buying parts for. The shops do not yet know that some of the stuff from 2012 models does not fit a 2013.

Hopefully this bar will allow a little more seat time before the body starts to hurt. After riding the Multistrada for five days and 2350 miles I have to say that being a bit more upright was not a bad thing. ~snip~ If the bar does not help me get through 300 miles without pain I may end up trading her in for a Multi..... :'(
Just installed the Rizoma MA005bar on my 2012 EVO, with a custom riser that my dealer knew about. The riser fits between the triple clamp and the OEM riser and gives about 3/4" extra lift. I opted for the gold bar because it matches the gold forks nicely. After two rides without the dreaded wrist pain, the initial results are promising.
Background information here: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=64942.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=64942.0)
The cables took a bit of rerouting and were *almost* long enough, but not really a problem. The control modules on each side don't quite fit flush against the grips, so they leave a small gap. The only consequence is that my left thumb has to be re-trained to streatch a bit further to the turn signal switch. Tweak the steering stops when finished and you're good to go.
But I could NEVER go 300 miles without pain, even if they were forged from dilithium crystals and sprinkled with fairy dust. :o
Just curious. Did your 2012 EVO have the same taller stock riser on the 796 or the earlier short EVO one? If memory serves, the difference is 20mm.
Why didn't you go for the taller MA008 with more sweep BTW? Pix, please. ;)
How much is the switch gap now? If not much, why not trim the ends of the bar cleanly with a pipe cutter before your thumbs drop off? ;D
Give this setup a while. Even I can do 300 miles in a day; not in one sitting of course! :)

The EVO and the 796 risers are the same.

You're right, I did want some extra height. That's why I went for the custom riser that mounts underneath the OEM piece. But the MA005 actually has 2 degrees more sweep-back than the 008. I'll try to get some pix together.

First, I'll just try to train my thumb to reach further.

If you can do it, then I can do it, dadgumit. And now get off my lawn! ;D
Pix..., or it didn't happen. 8) How "ugly" is that riser? I presume we now have ~ the same height. Consider the Tech Spec pads too. They really help me when the going is slow.
Bend of the MA008 seems quite natural. I guess you have 2 degrees more. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562 (http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562)
Just how much gap do you have? 3 - 4 mm? It's really easy to trim that off cleanly with the right pipe cutter. Used to do that on the Renthal bars on my trials bikes back in the day.
Lawn? You're not beach front in Santa Barbara? ;D

I'll try to get some pix. You could say the riser is "ugly" or you could say it's a nice simple solution. It doesn't really stand out visually. And yes, I think we both now have about the same height.

That's about right. I don't really mind the looks, but my thumbs have to be retrained. I think they're still trainable.

^^^^The Horror The Horror of it all!^^^^
Is it loud? I am still trying to figure out how to mount a train horn to my bike. Once in a while it gets hot and my horn squeaks instead of blows, which kinda blows when'ya need it.

I had originally installed a low-tone Fiamm - but limited space under the shroud on the 696 meant that I had to face the horn trumpet inward and it sounded muted.
I believe this is louder than the stock one was (it's been a couple of years).
It's rated as 3db louder at 2m than the OEM horn on Harley Sportsters.
It sounds more Italian than Amercan - it's more a high-pitched shrill sound, like a Fiat on steroids.
I'm happy with it.

Love it! Going to look into mounting one up somewhere.

~$600 with the wheels. It really helps with the parking situation in my garage, because I can roll it pretty much everywhere. There is also the added benefit of getting the suspension unloaded in the winter, and you can work on the suspension and triple trees etc without hanging it from the rafters.
Bursig seems to have a large selection of adapter plates so if and when I move on to a new bike, they have me covered.

$600.00 isn't bad when you consider about $400.00 for two Pit Bull stands to do the same job.

Now that is a winter project waiting to happen, a little square stock and some wheels, Monster specific of course. Any thoughts on where that one is attached? I think it needs slightly large wheels.

Motomfg makes one too. I got that without the wheel adapters from monsterparts and am pretty happy with it. Don't think they are so much different in construction, but the motomfg was getting shipped from within the USA, so my total was ~$390 shipped.
[drool] Motomfg doesn't make a stand for the pre 2008 SSS monsters. Bursig was the only option. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't see that. I knew they too had adapters for a wide variety of bikes. Guess not for the older models..

Shift-Tech carbon linkage rod for my rear sets and a carbon license plate frame. Had to buy the rod as I stupidly did not tighten the stock one quite enough and bounced it down the highway.... The plate frame? I am just tired of riding around advertising for my local dealer lol.

Nelson Rigg tank / tail bag. Must thank Hunduc for this new acquisition. He was the previous owner and sold / shipped me the bag through the "Parts for Sale" section. Can't wait to take the bike on a little roadtrip to really take advantage of the bag. It's perfect for me.

A combination. Hooks on the bottom and the strap at the front of the bag (towards the handlebars). Haven't found the "sweet" spot yet, but I've only used it once for the ride home from work (3 miles). It didn't fall off, but I wasn't comfortable with how it was strapped in.

Those didn't come as accessories, but I'm thinking I may go in that direction. I hesitate because I'm in south Florida and that means that those little suction cups don't work very well in the summer when there is 110% humidity, rain almost every day and extreme heat. But I suspect I won't be riding as much during those times anyway, so we'll see...

What did I "just buy for your Ducati"?
An ST4 to go with the monster and ST2
Actually, I was looking for fairing parts for the ST2 and decided to check Craigslist, which I almost never do as it's not used much by Canadians. I found this ST4 about an hour away from me in Niagara Falls, on the US side. It is in near mint condition, including new PR2's on it with 24k miles. The fellow had it listed for $3000, which I thought was too good a price to let pass up or even bother haggling over.
The ST2 will either be cleaned up and sold in the spring.

Next will be ceramic coating the header/mid-pipe and comp werkes exhaust, as well as the MWR power up kit,MWR air filter, PC-V and Dyno tune. Winter is gonna cost me a fortune!! :o
Just bored around here in freezing MI. Bought some stuff to keep me busy, it is kind of silly because I am going to have them ceramic coated but oh well.

Just came today...unbelievably light compared to my stocker so I had to weigh it. Nichols craftsmanship is outstanding as usual. Luckily not expensive as is usual, got this installed but never used from Motowheels for $120. (thanks for the tip Koko)

How do you know? You never rode that bike prior to the flywheel swap?
Sounds like the Nichols is the lightest one available. I noticed a significant improvement in acceleration with my machined stocker.

Just ordered these. In black of course.

The throttle cam would require modification to fit properly. To top that off there is not a (for lack of a better term) a keeper ring (like stock) that stops the grip from trying to slide off the end of the bar. All in all a pretty not safe looking setup even with some mods it scares me a bit.

If I didn't wrap sections of it I would burn the hell out of my leg even wearing riding gear. I just sat on the bike and took measurements, then wrapped the area. Ordered some off Amazon and wrapped the section right before the CF heat shield, and down by the coolant hoses to keep temps down.
Otherwise I just let the titanium shine.

I've had my mobile warming jacket for 2 years now and I LOVE that thing! I wear it everywhere. I just got some heated gloves, and man that makes a difference when you leave and it's 30 degrees
A complete 944 kit with cylinders bored and honed by Millenium and JE HC pistons. Only $500 more than the std bore pistons alone, I couldn't resist :D

ABM front rotors and a Galfer rear. Would have liked a matching set but the ABM rear rotor weren't ready for weeks when I purchased the front.

While we're at it Monsta...can you tell us about that headlight, front fender and belt covers please? [beer]
Quote from: Buck Naked on December 11, 2013, 07:07:49 PM
While we're at it Monsta...can you tell us about that headlight, front fender and belt covers please? [beer]
Headlight is Motowheels 7' LED. Bought all the parts from The RetrofitSource to create an HID kit (if anyones looking) but then found the Motowheels kit and bought that. Light output is FAR better than OEM and highbeam is highbeam and folks can't miss me. Lowbeam just uses the upper half of the headlight, full beam is the entire headlight. Got a 7' lexan film for the yellow tint.
Front Fender is the standard CF 916 front fender from our my parts supplier Jeff@Monster parts.
Belt covers is a hodge podge between the Rizoma belt covers for the S4R and the OEM CF one that came stock with the bike. Couldn't get the entire Rizoma to line up correctly, so I cut it into two for something different and painted it black with Plasti Dip. The upper and lower part of the belt covers are Rizoma so you cansee the belts working and the middle section is CF.
What else you wanna know??? [beer]

That's about it for now! The fender looks like it's made for a different gen of Monster or a different bike, looks way better than the super long OEM that's why I was curious. I had guessed that was the case with the headlight, will probably go that route myself minus the yellow when I build my SC. And those clear Rizoma's on a 4 valve look way better than open covers. That's too much cool machinery to cover completely. Nice job, sick bike!! [thumbsup]
There's a few different CF fenders you can go with, I actually ended up rocking the 696 style one on my 620
(http://www.monsterparts.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/frontf_large.jpg)
Here's the 916 style like Monsta had:

Maybe that's what I should do next on the s2r..... [evil]
I like the SBK style front fender (i.e. 748, 916, 996, and 998) because it provides little forks protections (rocks and stuff).
but just don't like the cut off at the end of the fender, kinda odd looking to me.
but this is nice (alternative to the new gen monster fender): http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/008FDM/C-M600-M1000/008FDM.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/008FDM/C-M600-M1000/008FDM.html)

Had it on my S4R and went back to the stock. Not sure but it didn't work with my on my bike.
Found out the SBK fenders wont work fit on a monster with ABS (like the 796). At least without being modified. The ABS sensor bracket hits the inside of the fender and pulls it way to the left of center.
MonstaS2R - you need a narrower radiator. ;)

Installed the Motodynamics integrated tail light and Barracuda short tail (no tail chop) both sourced from MONSTER PARTS where the best customer service in the world lives(Plug for Jeff H. [thumbsup])
Not thrilled with the tail section feel for the price, feels, chintzy I guess, but does the job. I saw no need to drill as using just the two rearmost holes secures it well enough and the screw heads are mostly hidden by the tail light.
Sorry for the crap pics.

It better be awesome, for almost $700 [puke]
Scored an 1198 swingarm (complete w/brake, adj. height rod, suspension rocker & speedo sensor) and an Ohlins shock for the 848 build.
Got it all for the price of the swingarm, hub & spindle.
Shorai plus quick disconnect
Sprockets (F+R)
Chain
Pod filters RU-1730 (yup a bit different ;D)
Cortech Tailpack and some tank skinz. Got tired of racking my junk and having no place to put my junk.

The Shorai 14 is so freaking small [evil]
yeah i'll let you know when i get it fited. I check the height (on paper) that it's half size (or 2in) shorter than the RU-1750 we usually use. I'm not sure smaller pods will have effect on air flow but time will tells when i dyno it.
on another topic: just picked up a Factory Pro Jet Kit, SSS stand, and the 996 rear tail piece...starting to come together. Some pics:

Tank Skinz and a DP tail bag. Love the Skinz they help a lot! The DP bag is overpriced but with zero passenger pegs on my bike I got tired of dinking around with aftermarket stuff.
Kinda funny but after wrestling the lower portion of the bag onto the bike and getting the seat cowl screws tight I went to zip on the top piece. No bueno. Somehow the quality control folks missed the zipper being sewed under one of the side pockets. I went back into A&S and Kirk came out with a sharp razor blade and we carefully cut the zipper loose. He is gonna order me a new bag as the pocket will eventually work loose. Nice though in that I still have a bag for the ride this week.
Heading out to ride PCH for a couple of days of 70+ riding weather.
Some people don't like the looks of that tail bag, butt it works really well and is (usually) well made.
I hate the DP bag...... But it fits. I was just out in the garage getting ready for the trip tomorrow and noticed that it is going to fail in a couple of spots. The carry handle will pull apart the seams sooner or later as it is sewn in manner that places all the stress of the load on a one inch seam. Also the seat to bag zipper is already showing pulled stitches under serious stress, they will fail as well.
Toss in no interior pockets whatsoever (Most $100.00 bags have them), zippers that dangle and an mounting angle that when expanded, leaves the bag tapping me in the back.
It is not made well or smart. The idea is great as I don't have anything in the rear to strap most tail packs to. The lack of thought into the design and the longevity of the seams is pathetic at best.
I think I am gonna give it back and buy two SWMotech click loc tank bags. One large for two nights out and one small for day tripping.

Have you looked into RKA tailbags? I used the 18L one for a long time, and they're great bags. Their mounting system is nice too...just need a seat. [thumbsup] Made in CA as well.

I had RKA stuff on my F2 and loved it. One of the problems with most of the tail bags is that I have stripped the passenger pegs and the rear fender from the bike. With the shape of the seat pan it is nearly impossible to run straps under the seat. I also tire of throwing my leg over the top of the bag. When extended the DP tail pack is so tall I had to tap into my inner Bruce Lee to toss a leg over.
Oh and the seams I was worried about? Are all pulled a bit, even the carry handle. Luckily I have a great dealer and a replacement bag for this one is back ordered and they offered to let me exchange it out for something else. Thanks A&S Power Sports!
Took The DP tail bag back, not a well made item IMO and it came with a defect that made it work through a weekend but was clearly not good long term. So I swapped it out tonight for some SW Motech stuff. An electric click-loc tank bag for day tripping and a Slipstream tail bag for road trips.
To top that all off I got a quick sit on the 2014 Monster 1200. It looks like a great "one bike does it all" bike. Carve some back roads, commute to work or go on a long tour. DNA rep mentioned hard bags are in the works for it.
Still gonna keep my AC monster and maybe look at a Multi for next year.

I'm looking forwad to getting them mounted. I wanted a radial master cylinder with a mirror mount that did not use pee cups. These popped up undamaged at a decent price, I just need to get some switchs for them as I do not think the coffin master switchs can be used on a radial master.

Because they were worn out or you got a diff brand?
New EK chain, lightened counter shaft sprocket, & OEM rear sprocket. This felt like a super tune up, especially after 15,000 on the stock gear.
A new 7" headlight to use with my Corse Dynamics mounting bracket. I'm hoping this will be suitable to house an LED Truck-Lite or JW Speaker in the future. The light that Motowheels sells with their kit is crap, some awful looking Drag Specialties Hardley light.

Quick thoughts, since I have the same hugger. Without doing this the hugger rattles about a bit.
I put little o-rings on the top and bottom of the three bolts used to install the hugger. One protects the top of the carbon the other seals the hugger against the swingarm. This required installing the bolts before I installed the hugger as the underside o-ring will keep the bolts in place.
Thanks for the tip man. Did you just use small rubber o-rings? Do you know what size those bolts are? M5, m6 maybe?
I don't remember the bolt size. Yup just small o-rings. I have a 10.00 kit from Harbor Freight and it has a ton of different sizes to choose from. It has saved my butt many a time.
Motobatt waterboy charger.
It comes with a pigtail and I just finished installing the pigtail. Geez, taking off the gas tank to access the battery ... I didn't completely remove the tank though. The best thing is there's no unused bolt or nut lying around after I finished the job ;D
Just ordered my POWER COMMANDER V!!! I am super excited for this one to get here. :D
Also ordered 1/4" and 3/8" Spinner T-handle tools. Tax refunds are dwindling!!
Cycle Cat clip ons from eBay. Seller claims "perfect condition" but I'm dubious. Plan on stripping, polishing, and re-anodizing.
Ended up passing on the CC clip ons...didn't trust the seller. But then I saw this, and just had to have it for my build...a brand...spankin'...NEW machined clutch side housing. Think I'll go with a satin black powdercoat for the cases, leave the fresh factory aluminum finish on this piece, use my MPL Brushed alloy pressure plate and a Motowheels "flow" clutch cover in black. Reallllly stoked on this for $150...

They are "brighter" I will never think of the headlight as bright........ Although I have finally found the best solution besides a full headlight swap.

Just bought two pair of ZXE headlight bulbs for mine and my wife's bike. (2 H7's and 2 H1's). Stoked to get them in and see if they really are as bright as sky says they are. :)
I'm still torn between going with a full LED setup such as a Truck-Lite or just getting a nice PIAA or Silverstar. I love the idea of almost zero draw on the charging system with the LED's. Plus they look cool as hell.
Last thing I just bought for my Ducati is a pair of 3 way adjustable Matris cartridges (completely replaces internals; new rod, spring, and cap , they should be arriving from Italy soon...

Nice Buck, I just broke a zipper in my pants! This summer I am gonna do something with my EVO forks, just not sure what yet.

Maybe..., "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" ;D Thought you got your suspension fully set up when you fitted the DU-737 out back?
In theory you could make the front end ~ 10% better if you fitted custom Ohlins. Then, if that worked, you'd be compelled to upgrade the Ohlins out back! At that point your mods would exceed the MSRP of the bike? 8)
Been there, done that. Diminishing returns. IMO, if you ran a higher tech 7.5W in the adjustable forks you have, the improvement might be enough to satisfy you..., IF that is possible. ;) That's the next thing I'm doing, since the operation of my forks is dandy, just not exactly "plush". My Ohlins tech uses Red Line, so I'll maybe try that, but in the past had really great results on BMW's with Spectro, and their 10W feels more like an 8W.
Good Luck!
Hi Cur, Yup the Ohlins in the rear got sorted and it made the forks better. Sadly though yesterday I took a couple of really good hits mid turn at speed and the forks hit bottom. Perhaps I will save some money by trying thicker oil. Good suggestion so I think it is worth the effort. Better than spending 1k.
(oh and the accessories are already 7500.00 I gave up on a return on this investment about the second week I owned it. I plan on having 80k on it before the five year warranty runs out. Hopefully the engine will grenade four years and 360 days prior to the warranty ending. ;D
Sky,
At least you're honest! ;)
Go easy on the oil weight. You don't want hydraulic lock either. My T-100 came stock doing that. You get what you pay for... 8) All suspensions are compromises. It you set up your forks to take an extreme hit, then you'll have an uncompliant fork for the other 99% of your riding, and that also includes too much preload.
The advantage of a premium fork oil is smoother operation and some "seal swell". Those major hits might be cured by $5,000 Ohlins which have several kinds of valving. The speed-sensitive valving handles those heavy hits while remainng plush over the little stuff and slower undulations. When you get to tuning that final 10% to perfection, the slightest change can have major effects.
Without going crazy and risking blowing your seals, fooling with the air gap when you change the oil might also help as that air acts like a progressive spring. Get that suspension guru you used before to work with you on this. 10 - 20 mm can make a big difference in air gap, but I'm not so good at this to tell you whether to run more oil or less. It's an art!

Probably better to let someone else tackle it then. These days I do that because wrenching no longer provides therapy. Stopped working on my own stuff in the mid-90's, and when I DID do my own stuff, I used short wrenches because I used to overtorque everything! ;D
Nothing wrong with you understanding the process though...
I've already gone insane with this build long ago. The forks are probably the smartest $ I've spent. This is def not a bike I'll be selling...truth is I probably wouldn't have been motivated to even go out and earn the cash I've spent so far if I wasn't obsessed with having *exactly* the bike I want, so in a way I'm spending free money. That's how I choose to look at it at least. :) Carrozzeria wheels and Brembo RCS masters, now I'm done lol. I'm 1000 miles away from home and probably have a month before everything arrives...I hope I'm riding it by summer. And have a home to keep it next to. :P
Forks were hands down the best money I've spent on my bike so far (and like so many others on here...I've spent a lot!). No other mod, aesthetic, or mechanical has made as much of a noticible difference/improvement as the front end did.
Oh and I did just buy something for it...another year of public road use...sucks paying for registration a month before you can really ride...

525 EK chain, new sprockets, & Continental Trail Attack II, front & rear. One thing I noticed is the front end is heavier & steers a bit more slowly because of the front tire, but it also feels more stable.

Nice toy! Although after many years riding bikes I can easily go up and down through most of the gears without ever touching a clutch. I am not real sure I would invest in a quick shifter. Unless a sponsor would buy it for me... Wanna sonsor a 49 year old road racer? No? guess I am stuck shifting.... ;D
Decided that bottom mount light wasn't for me and would prefer the classic Monster light so sniped a Motowheels carbon fiber bucket new on eBay for $75..

new shoes!
Pirelli Diablo Rosso II's -- will be my first time riding on Pirelli rubber
Rear tire caught a nail so, new tires. Had to choose between Bridgestones MT03 or Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's. I took the Pirelli, sensible? Probably not in a country where it rains often. Fun? Yes, compared to my old (not so bad either) Pirelli Angels it is like riding on rails and gripping like hot glue... (I won't be making the 6K on my rear as with the Angel I think...)

How expensive was the PR4?? I had a warranty on my PR3 and NO tire wear so I'll get it replaced for free. But I'm looking to upgrade on the next go around...hopefully 14k miles later!

I just ordered some tank decals and two part clear coat to do a more gas resistant, less primered tank that looks decent. Anti-abrasive tape to protect my freshly powdercoated rearsets from my sandpaper boots which have rubbed off every surface they come into contact with. And a pop-up spray tan booth to get my tan on 8) .............. and act as a painting booth. Also have 620 exhaust headers coming in to play with for my 2-1 exhaust. And lastly one left side 749 4p/4p caliper which I just need new lines for.

I think they look very trick. Hope I don't regret not getting the Moto-Detail, looks like it sticks up a bit further which I like but actually may not be a good thing.
This arrived in the mail yesterday...took about 10 days. China is really tough to beat for stuff like this...$35? get out...the quality is simply beautiful.

Brand new DP CF front fender. >:( It seems my lovely red stock fender took a rock right on the top for leg mounting bolt. Cracked it all the way through. Granted I can not find a rock mark but a chunk of plastic is missing surrounding the bolt so it is my best guess. I liked the red front fender..... But at over $320.00 for the stocker, I am gonna go with the one I found for $220.00.

You got 65mm caliper brackets on your forks? SBK forks I guess. I've heard that the normal calipers have a greater range of pad materials than the 4 pad. Depends on what disc material you settle on. If Iron, I wouldn't bother with 4 pad, but stainless yes.
EBC make calipers too. Have you considered a single disc and 6 piston caliper like Beringer? Or billet calipers ($$$)?

Yes...except I've already crossed a point of no return of sorts when I purchased the RCS19 because it is designed for a dual caliper setup. If I could have a do-over, I would be extremely tempted to go with a single rotor setup with an RCS15 master, billet caliper, and CMC rotor...
I'd have done an SBK swap instead of the Matris kit as well...because I love those 100mm monoblock calipers. [drool]
"Corse Dynamics" billet exhaust flanges to replace my scabby ones.

Oh yeah, UPS showed up with more goodies! new alloy headlight mounting flanges, new motor mount bolt, and I'm particularly stoked on this Streetfighter kill switch. A lot more compact than I expected and it "sheaths" the starter button when turned off, very cool...check it out:

Are you going to swap out the left switch to match?
I also like the new switch design and have been hunting for a set on ebay. So far, I can find the starter switches but nary a one of the light switches except for one cracked example. I'm thinking there is a lesson to be gleaned from that, or at least a developing trend. More offs on the left rather than the right?

The left switch is a much more complicated swap that I don't care to get in to. Momentary switches that require either several relays or an M-Unit. Way over my head. The right is basically plug and play aside from the rewire.
I'm satisfied with how they look together. My left switch is NOS. I wouldn't bother with ebay; the new kill switch only cost me $67 from Ducati Omaha. Ebay sellers often are charging more for a scabby one.
There are several different prices for different years and models despite the wiring and DIN connectors being the same. I looked up quite a few and # 65010092I was the cheapest. It's from a Panigale.
Thanks for the heads up re the best price. I was also coming to the same conclusion re the prices some of the scrappers were asking.
I'm not very proficient with the electrical work but am lucky enough to have a very good friend who thoroughly enjoys electrical/electronic puzzles and has the patience to write out detailed instructions for me. But I am thinking the switch swap might not be that complicated for my bike, 2012 1100evo.
I enjoy reading about our progress and look forward to seeing the finished product.
I have never used the off switch on any of my bikes, that's what the key and kickstand is for. I always figured that using the bar switch was just adding needless wear and tear and an extra failure point.

Oldndumb; how about one of those master cylinder clamp switches? I kinda wish I'd gone that route sometimes;

That sounds right up your alley Skybarney, since you don't use the switch. Just wire up a clean start button clamp.

Aw man, why'd you have to do that!?! I have a hard enough time making decisions without you dangling more goodies in front of me.
I had never seen the ISR offerings before. They certainly have a unique engineering philosophy and I think their parts would definitely be compatible with the Monster persona.
Their price list was scary until I did the converter thing and found that it takes quite a few SEKs to make a dollar.
They're prices are extremely reasonable. A 6 piston, 6 pad, billet monoblock caliper for under $800...Brembo gets $2500 for their 4 pot billet caliper.

Ducabike makes one specifically for Panigale (Brembo OE radial? Should fit other Brembo masters) but it's kinda outrageously priced. MW has their house brand of the same thing but again, kinda steep imo.
Time to go back to work...I couldn't resist a Motowheels no reserve auction and sniped a new set of Speedymoto Tall Boys for $177.
Brand new set of Cycle Cat clip ons in titanium if anyones interested...
I need to just wait until the real thing shows up before posting in this thread, as the stock photos often don't do justice..these billet old school style exhaust flanges far exceeded my expectations:

It is. I'm fighting the urge to buy it myself.
I know a guy with dual sport bikes that would like that caliper for more power out back.
It seems like it would be fun for doing really illegal things on the street with...
"CNC Fabrication" (Motowheels) battery box, Tygon reservoir tubing for front and rear controls, DP Tachometer, Rick's starter.
Basically ran out of money to do anything fancy with the brakes, so I'll retain the RCS masters. Still want things to look nice n' pretty so I bought the old reliable 4 pot OE Brembo's, NOS of course;

More stuff from the UPS man
Just purchased (2) sets of turn signals front and rear from Rizoma from Moto Wheels.com
Just bought another LED front turn signal set. I went for the new Ducati Performance ones. Got them from the dealer display. Not sure which bike they list them for but the stem adapters fit my Monster headlight surround perfectly.
Also got a set of CRG Arrows to replace the round ones I had (lane splitters). They were on a swap meet table tagged for $10.00. Grabbed them reallly quick!! They were dirty but cleaned up to look like new. Could not find out who or why was selling them. ???
Wholy Moly!! 10 buck for a set of Arrows is fantastic! Those are the best, most stable mirrors out there!

Quote from: koko64 on June 16, 2014, 03:58:52 PM
Whats the part number for those?
RX-4040-1
They are a bit longer than the 1750's and are not angled like the 1750's but the flange is much shorter. Fitment may be a challenge. But my FI tank has a bit more room underneath than the carby tank. Inside dimensions of the flanges are the same. My 1750's got squashed pretty good, it'll be interesting to see how these fit. They sure as fk weren't cheap.
Best place to buy k&n filters in the States by far is Advance Auto Parts and apply the 40% off coupon.
I'm wanting to put some pods on my s2r. Is there a less expensive route? This setup runs $280
(http://motowheels.com/images/F53281828.jpg)
I don't know what it is, but I got a thing for all those intake parts. They reek of the look of horsepower.
It's hard to get away from the cost, and you want the complete kit for your model. I saw MW had a complete kit, it may have been the Corse Dynamics kit?
I bought the beast kit from TPO on ebay for $194 used Louder, today it SEEMED smoother without any tuning, but I'm only running a DP ECU with the mixture tweaked.
That setup above with the red stacks is the Corse Dynamics right? I saw those on motowheels but they were out of stock when I checked, and I'm too cheap to pass up used performance parts ;D
I'm sure the TPO are very good. The quality of their stuff is excellent.
Little tip, for anyone wanting that Corse Dynamics kit; buy the VIP membership first, and it will pay for itself and then some immediately. I took the plunge on that membership and was skeptical, but went from buying from MW when I had no other choice to giving them some of my money almost every week. It's totally worth it.
Thanks- I have the MW VIP membership, but since we're both in California, the sales tax all but wipes out the savings.
The kit in the pic is from Motowheels.

I know they're DSS but I'd thought an 1100/796 swingarm would swap right on to 696 much like S2/4 sa's mount right up to an M800? Maybe someone can affirm or debunk this.
NOS kickstand mount & chain adjuster blocks, Ti shock pivot bolt and TPO tail chop bracket.
That bike will have so many fresh components (or freshened up), it will be brand new. Like many others, I am looking forward to the end result.
When you see a bike like that next to a bike like mine (tidy, well kept, but older bike), they make it look shabby. It's all those small new, fresh components that you normally miss, but stand out in a comparison. Don't ever park next to me! ;D

I actually only got 2...both NOS. The valve covers on the vertical head are basically invisible under the tank so I'm not sure if I'm motivated to seek 2 more or not. I'm going to need to figure something out for the OC, such as Monsta did here:

Lol, grenade valve stems. Just what I need to "classy" up my bike. ;D
(remember?)
I got it for 169.00 plus 15 bucks for the appropriately overpriced adapters. Having Cycle gear down the road is handy, even though I hate 98% of the crap they sell.

I like lowered headlights too but man, that one's almost comically low imho.
Love the bike though. I just tried etching off the red on my Ducabike slipper PP, came out lookin like crap and I regret it.
It does have a lot of air around the headlight now. I lowered it and the clocks below the triple- both about 1 1/2". Front view:

Upgrading my carrying capacity.
^ those look good. Would they fit an 1100, with the underseat exhaust? Who makes them?
It depends on how close they get to the exhaust. I'm not sure.
Ortlieb makes em and they are called speedbags. I'm testing them out this weekend going down to Laguna so we shall see.
Marvig mid pipe and Fat Duc O2 manipulator, turned out the air bleed screws 1/2 turn and the bike idles nice. Eliminating the CAT collecter box gave it a bit more rasp to the exhaust note with the stock cans, still quiet though.

If its about the same size as oem and it looks like it is, then the larger Shorai and Ignitech unit all fit side by side with some padding. It's quite a good fit with padding between each component and the box.
PM sent.
This is the kinda dumb stuff you buy when you're staring at a bunch of bike parts you can't put together and ride.

Motowheels. Warning: it's designed for carbed Monsters with pod filters only.
So I bought some Ti round bar stock to make up some wheel spacers for various projects and no doubt I'll make some stuff for the Monster out of it, too. Fun times ahead with the lathe :).
Totally worth $45! They made it custom for my Rizoma sets no extra charge! Podium is great!

Last night my Electraeon Fast Throttle Cam arrived. Fitted it last night and rode her today. What a difference. Best bang buck mod ever. Obviously no horsepower gains but brilliant throttle response and more comfortable wrist position both cruising on "on it". Cost me ~$60 on flebay.
If in doubt.... BUY IT!!!!

Man I love the look of speed holes on levers.
Just grabbed a Shorai battery and charger. Gonna put the stock battery in the girls old scooter and see if it runs well enough to see if the POS. Most of the lead cell batteries I have owned died in a couple of years anyway so I am gonna get in front of it this time.
This OEM battery, IF..., commissioned properly and charged occasionally so that it doesn't drop really low has a service life of 5 - 7 years. My T-100 uses the identical Yuasa AGM model. You can read about it here if you're interested. Good luck with your featherweight..., which "may" have other "issues". ;) http://www.triumphrat.net/twins-technical-talk/228517-wont-turnover-in-loss.html#post2473885 (http://www.triumphrat.net/twins-technical-talk/228517-wont-turnover-in-loss.html#post2473885)

Yep, half lever to fit RCS masters. And those are rubber grips with little billet rings on either end. I can understand your curiosity, the lever does look bizarre compared to a usual lever as do the grips.
Very nice pieces there. It's those little touches with quality parts.
If you don't do a full feature on your bike when it's built there'll be a riot. ;D

The 1/8 npt is ridiculously close to M10x1.0, apparently there are guys on the SOHC forums just wrapping the stem with Teflon tape and shoving it in there but per Monsta's advice I'm going to run a die over it instead.
Also ordered up my R/R...I've been hedging on this..I want completely upgraded electricals, already have new pulse coils from Ducatiz/Ignitech/Shorai but it seems like the jury is still out as to whether MOSFET technology is appropriate for our bikes. Rick's Hot Shots had the best reputation, pricing, and are plug and play;

I'll just need to get beefier battery and starter cables, probably from Motowheels then my electricals will be set.

You think this is a gimmick or what? I don't imagine I'd ever change my timing on the fly.
"Because of the engraved scale these lightweight pulleys allow you to switch between your preset, preferred timing settings! So choose between a torquey or high reving engine! "
Identifying timing increments you've set. Look nifty.
Wonder what speeddog, brad et, al think?
Nice cogs, man! [drool]
I'm guessing you will swap out the bolts which came with them for SS/Ti?

How do you get the bike up? I squeeze mine in the gap between the car and the wall. On a good day I get it so the lean onto the sidestand stops the mirrors touching the wall!
I wanted a horn.

http://www.piaa.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=horn (http://www.piaa.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=horn) has the same horn with their label, along with several other flavors. I have one of them with the larger horn/bell mouth and it fits under the left oil cooler shroud. If memory serves me right, the stock harness connectors reached. But then, I'm an old guy who remembers a lot of thing that never happened. ;)

No surprise to me 'cause most items with a PIAA label come at a premium.
Not all, but most can be found under a different label minus the markup.
Since it fits under the shroud I am in! My current horn stops working on hot days. Actually it works, if you don not mind sounding like a gagged lamb in distress....
I am even more in if Buck just gives up the source....... Want some [bacon] & [drink]? Give it up Buck!

Now I know yer prejudice SB ;) but don't be fooled by the place and the price...this looks and feels identical to the PIAA a buddy has. I'm going to compare the sound and maybe even talk him into taking his off the bike so I can weigh them...betcha they're the same thing exactly.
Every once in a while even the best companies do a little cheat and buy some China stuff and rebrand it. I don't mind one bit if my horn is made in China. As long as it is loud and hidden by the shroud!

Where did you buy thees babies, Buck?
I wasn't able to secure em. Long story short I spent a considerable amount of money in currency conversions and fees trying to do business with people overseas who wanted to make it as big of a hassle as they possibly could, and I ended up with no pulleys. >:(. Jan @ http://www.redfox-grinta.com/ (http://www.redfox-grinta.com/) has one set in stock now, the ones that should have been mine. He accepts nothing but a wire transfer with you paying the fees at both ends.
left of the pic front of the front wheel is the ram i made from the left over plywood we cut off. I use that to push the bike up.
I didn't want to make it to tall so i used 3" diameter casters (the total height of the casters are about 3.750") with 2x4 and plywood on top = roughly 6" off the group...make it pretty easy to push up and down.
Material:
1 plywood (4x8 feet, rip that down in half to 2x8 for two dolly) I made mine 2x7 though...so the 1 foot left over I can make the ram.
Get good casters...the middle and front casters I used were metal and each cable of holding 300 lbs
as far as the mirrors, I untighten it a bit and fold them in when I store the bike. I have about half an inch of the bar hitting the wall and the dolly flush against the wall.
yaeh! the delivery has arrived
for my Monster 1200 I've bought the RIWI fork conversion kit from Austria (www.riwi.at (//http://))
the kit is ready to mount (the wheel, the brake disc, calipers and lamp, handlebar, speedometer I can continue to use the original)
Pics or it didn't happen.
Trailing link suspension? 7kg lighter than telescoping forks? Please weigh these to confirm their claims.
Also, please introduce yourself in the introductions thread.
7 kg lighter than tele fork? you have misunderstood
the fork with titanium finish weighs 7 kg
(the lightest commercially available GP Race USD fork weighs without oil, including triple clamps 10.8 kg)
I purchased the normal road version (without titanium parts), all parts of weigh (adequate compared to USD fork 10.8 kg), 8.8 kg incl Clamps
if I have everything installed and ready made ​​test drive get good pictures u drive report
Well, that's what I get for using google translate.
My German is not good enough to read complex mechanical language.
Thanks for the info. What is MSRP on that thing? I didn't see a price (although, again, using google translate may be my downfall).
Some Ti fork pinch bolts.

I'd been using Pro-Bolt, Podium and TPO for Ti but these are from China...was one of those; "no stainless available in the correct thread pitch and these weren't much more $ than OE" decisions..I don't know how to judge a bolt any other way than never having one fail, besides looks...and these look great. Not sure if I can recommend PB so far...pricier than most, extremely slow to ship, and no response to several emails requesting to add on to the order. I love their selection of aluminum hardware and their stainless is beautiful and one of a kind tho.

Very strange, I set up to shoot a demonstration video, and both horns sounded off a couple times then nothing. I used alligator clips off my car battery. In the brief moment I heard, the new horn wasn't a *lot* louder, but the TONE was way better. More like a car horn as opposed to the dying pigeon sound of the OE. From what I understand, a relay is required to unlock the full potential of any horn, the switch wiring just doesn't deliver enough juice.
I hope I didn't kill both of these horns though?
so excited.. in the process of buying for 2002 S4
1) NON bar end mirrors ( my rizoma move too much )
2) GP shift adaptor (swapping from my track bike to street confuses me a ton)

I got this stuff from Podium Racing in US as I wanted to swap out the cheap corroding OEM bolts with black Ti stuff and Podium have been oarsome! Certainly not the cheapest but service and quality counts for everything IMO! TPO and Pro-Bolt have silver Ti at good prices but as I am still waiting on an order from Pro-Bolt I can't comment yet!

That custom harness looks great! can you give more details please, I'll need to undergo a similar mod to install my integrated light. I like how you neatly bundled everything up and heat shrunk it together, looks clean.
the last owner had the tail chop done and that shop just CRAMMED the length of the harness and then the LED side light wiring behind the latch. looked horrible. so i ordered up the light, and it comes with a small resistor pack looking thing with extra long wires, and then the light it self has a pretty long harness. SO, i ripped out the stock harness and set the light where it needed to be, then basically measured how long. i cut the stock pig tail off with about 4" of length. then i basically just shortened everything and soldered the joints, covered with shrink wrap/fabric wire loom. turned out real well. you could easily just cut and splice with crimp butt connectors just as easy, but i was out of them so i used solder.

Daaamn dude, bike is lookin AWESOME! [clap] That fender is the titties. Agree with Darryl on the spring. Did you get the clocks from "Valtermotousa"? And where did you score the gas cap? I was considering getting one on closeout from Motowheels and stripping the anodizing off.
My SpeedyMoto belt covers and steering head bearings should be delivered today. Took forever to get these, I think they had to make the belt covers or have them anodized or something. Install of the belt covers will take place this weekend.
Not sure when I'll get around to installing the steering head bearings. I need to order at least one tool for that job and figure out a way to support the bike with the front end removed.
Thanks Buck. You made that front fender happen so I really appreciate it. [thumbsup] The clocks are from Valtermoto and the gas cap I got from MonsterParts.

so excited.. in the process of buying for 2002 S4
1) NON bar end mirrors ( my rizoma move too much )
2) GP shift adaptor (swapping from my track bike to street confuses me a ton)
more to come but above is a necessity (but out of stock on adaptor)!! any how been reading post for advice..
probably gonna by from this site called
http://www.monsterparts.com/ (http://www.monsterparts.com/)
Have a track day in about two weeks.
Any one have advice on GP shift adaptor? I rather get this than a rearset b/c of $$.
The change to the GP shift is mostly to build on the habit of gp shifting for the track. I would be interested in rearsets for my Duc to improve body position at the track but mostly on the street as my right knee has been hurting.
Thanks.
I don't know if this will actually make it on to my Ducati after how much I gushed over my powder coated swingarm...but as is usually the case with me, opportunity combined with my impulsive nature are a bad combination...

Wait, why did you purchase this? Don't you have that nice black one? Is it because this is aluminum? I think you may need an intervention.
But before you enter modders' rehab, please please please buy Randy@StradaFab's titanium frame.

Yeah that is too nice. Either put it on the mantle piece, frame it and mount it or wear it around your neck. That's some serious swing bling! [thumbsup]
Tasty tasty tasty!
Belt covers installed. My other most recent purchase was the Ohlins rear shock which you can kind of see in this pic.

Thanks, I went for a long mountainbike ride this morning and was kind of tired when I started this project and when I moved the bike to an area of my garage where I had enough room on both sides I put the side stand down and started to lean it over when it got to the point of "oh crap, there's something wrong" so I just tried to lay it down as gently as possible. I haven't done something like this in years... total n00b bonehead mistake and I bent the shift lever but the frame sliders prevented any other damage. So, a job that was originally just to install belt covers turned into a removal and straightening of the shift lever.
It's all back together though and working fine. Off to the Chargers game tomorrow with my son so no riding for me the rest of the weekend. [drink]
I really need to cut the heel guard mount off the exhaust. I lost one of the bolts and all the hardware that goes with it and it is kind of an ugly piece anyway. I'll deal with the boot melting issues. The guard has been missing for 6 months now and it hasn't been an issue to I'm just going to cut the rest of it off.
Bloody beautiful mate, nothin wrong with those wheels! [thumbsup]

It is Captain Ron (Kurt Russell). It is a very silly and occasionally funny comedy. His character is so ridiculous that I can't help but like him. ;D

Russell, that's what I meant to say. I thought Snake was his only character that wore an eye patch.

Melting point is about 1000, the intent is to pour slightly hotter than that. I'm still learning some of the tricks.

that Diavel still looks stock . . . Am I missing something?
Just picked up a Pit Bull rear stand, very well made and shiny! [cheeky]
LOL.. Well that was the day it came home. Since then put on some CRG Arrow Mirrors. Next looking at shorter rear hugger & full ceramic coated Termis. Love the Diavel but not crazy bout the sound of the stock exhaust.
10' roll of 4 gauge welding wire, pack of 1/4" tinned copper lugs, hydraulic crimper and some red and black adhesive lined heat shrink.
Tony will appreciate not getting any more; "how long is the ___ wire??" messages from me, I'm sure. [laugh]
;D
It'll be good to get a custom fit for your battery (Shorai?), custom battery box and pods. Ive bent mine around a bit to suit. Mine are a beefed up oem style kit from Japan and work well. Bike was an import and came with it.
Slightly toned down Termi stickers [thumbsup]

A brand new invention. It's called Gasoline. ;D
I installed a Shorai Lithium battery in my bike yesterday. Over 6 pounds lighter than the original battery and no need for a charger (or so they say).
My old battery was reading 12V and the reading was blinking on the dash before I hit the start button. Not sure what that means but I figured I'd throw it on the charger overnight and it only read 12.1V the next day. 3.5 years and 15,500 miles I figured it was time to replace it anyway.
Install was easy, the battery is much smaller than the original battery so I used a few of the foam sheets they package with the battery and cut them down so the battery fits in the box snugly. The foam sheets have adhesive on one side so they stay in place and hold the battery securely.
Bike fired right up and I took it for a 20 mile ride just to make sure everything was working fine.
Tis a decent battery. I put one in this summer when my stock battery seemed to be stumbling a bit. I got it at motowheels and they suggested the battery tender for letting it trickle while sitting for an extended time. I have yet to use it but ride at least once a week but this rainy season (if we have one) I will put it on.

I can't vouch for the quality yet...eBay feedback was good, pics looked good, and the price was low enough ($75 usd shipped) to justify taking a chance.

Them are purdy alright! But I actually like the OE alloy cup washer plus stainless cap screw. I may seek out a billet cup washer tho...like this:

Thanks for the idea Lars! there's always another little detail here or there. :)
^ yeah, I like the look of the aluminum but since I detest bolts with easily stripped heads the stainless bolts are the way to go.

wowza, nice stuff.
I've been on the MCMOTOPARTS/The3Wheels/M-Factory bandwagon for awhile now. And on average the stuff is WAY more than 35% less in my experience. Have never been disapointed with the quality either.
Only thing that irritates me is why their clutch covers and pressure plates are so high by comparison.

A4 stainless shoulder screws and hardware for my reservoirs. I'm on a mission to vanquish all that gold plated bs anywhere it may hide. The pivot for the fuel pump currently has me stumped but it's some eclectic type of shoulder screw, I'll find it somewhere if I figure out what it's called.

Where did you buy those from? Looks awesome would like to see some shots of the whole setup when you get it mounted with the LED light.
This is all I have at the moment, it doesn't show the entire setup but you can see the Truck-Lite and billet adapter ring from Motowheels (DON'T get the light from Motowheels...it is absurdly over priced through them)

I had to troll eBay.it for these brackets. I'll see if I can find a link to his ebay store.
Alternatively you could pick up a Carbonworld set from Jeff @ Monsterparts. Dunno if they'd be as nice as these tho, and def more expensive.
Edit: here's his page; http://m.ebay.com/sch/newcarbontech/m.html?_pgn=1&isRefine=true (http://m.ebay.com/sch/newcarbontech/m.html?_pgn=1&isRefine=true)
Although it appears he doesn't have anything listed. I missed out on the first pair he had up and had to wait for these to re-appear. I imagine he's making another set.

Black better than plated?
http://japan.webike.net/products/530848.html (http://japan.webike.net/products/530848.html)
... and.. if you can use the bolt from the RCS masters, the selection includes titanium.
Hrrm, maybe I should've chosen different words. I love both of those companies *for the most part and def would never "go after" Monsterparts. :)
Lars, the bolt I'm talking about looks like this:
(http://www.stein-dinse.biz/images/product_images/popup_images/82110601a.jpg)
I have a bit of an obsession with finding out the actual name and function of all of Ducati's "special screws" and eclectic hardware so I can find stainless/Ti/alloy alternatives. For example what they call a spacer is a sleeve bearing, "pin" is a standard shoulder bolt, headlight "special screws" are low profile hex cap screws etc.
It's not like Ducati invents and engineers their own little unique shoulder bolt to perform one simple task on only one of their bike models. It exists in some other industry and has a name, I just need to find it out.
Ok - what's it for?
If it's for the reservoir, maybe we're back to RCS parts... http://www.yoyodyneti.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=110.A263.85 (http://www.yoyodyneti.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=110.A263.85)
It's for mounting the vaccum fuel pump on carbie Monsters..the upper hole mounts using a sleeve bearing, rubber grommet and cap screw. The lower uses this. I already have Sato bendy brackets for my RCS reservoirs, although I like the OE look of the ones in that kit. I may get just the brackets, Kurvey Girl sells them individually.
Or I may get the RCS mirror mounts and use em for reservoirs instead of mirrors.
The amount of cash I've blown on little trivialities like this is insane...it costs a lot of $$$ to be OCD.
those looks good, ill be sure to get in touch with the person that made those
thanks man

Nice photo.
A nos fuel level sender that is meant for a 748, but has the same dimensions, thread pitch and wiring connector as every other Monster sender I've seen, and is virtually identical in appearance to the 90's Monsters with the only difference being power and ground wiring for an F.I fuel pump. Really looking forward to seeing how this works out. Seems substantially more well made than the plastic towers. All aluminum construction including the nut.

Also picked up a NOS factory tool kit, lol. It was only $12! :) I'm building a "new" 0 mile bike and those come with tool kits :P. Where the heck do these go anyway? I've never seen what looked like a natural stashing spot for em.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTg5WDEyODA=/z/d50AAOSw2XFUcmQn/$_3.JPG)
A NOS sump screen. The seller also had lightweight ones designed for the superbikes for only $17 that are the same size and thread, but I didn't really like the idea of this part having a plastic base and plastic nut...I like metal parts between my engine oil and the atmosphere.

I'll let you and everyone else know how it goes, DT.
The V1 looks *slightly cooler imo and probably plenty bright but they're long gone so it doesn't really matter. I do kinda dig how easily distinguishable this one is from the cheapo integrated lights. Fancy!
A fantastic bit of kit from Vizi-Tech, what a lucky purchase... [thumbsup]
I've fitted three to monsters over here in the UK, and the quality is outstanding... [bow_down]

My only premature complaint is that the lens isn't made out of a really high quality polymer like Lexan (or is it?) Or better yet, Gorilla Glass
My experience with the cheapo is the glass is the least of your concern and even with my level abuse is rugged enough. The board and soldering on the other hand...

I had a lens pop off a cheapy. Siliconed it back on...and you must retain the rubber grommets + sleeve bearings especially if you have a tail chop, I had the stud snap off and take the chunk of plastic it was mounted to with it. Or maybe it was the other way around. They are actually pretty good lights tho for $30.
I like glass just because it's nice.
[thumbsup]
Even tho I certainly don't need it, I knew I wasn't gonna stop wanting it. Once you've used one, the $9 Harbor Freight model just feels like a turd.

Ohhh very cool...when are you going to Baja? I just got back from there...didn't have a motorcycle tho ;(
Will likely make a trip in April during spring break. We've been talking about a trip to La Paz next Xmas break. The weather is too hot during summer.

Never been to LA Paz but I've always found Cabo to be pretty mild whenever I've been.

6 inches of snow on the ground so I put the tail end of the bike outside of the door to fire it up. JESUS they sound beautiful! I'm not sure if I'll get tired of it or not, I still have young ears and it doesn't bother me much(knock on wood) atm. Videos do not do justice for the volume.
Mivv Suono first impressions...sounds amazing and its loud, people will notice you more so hopefully that'll prevent more happenings of getting ran over lol, BUT it still sounds beautiful. IMO its really hard to have something be loud but ALSO sound very good!
Next week at this time it'll be in the 50s from then on out so crossing my fingers that means spring is getting here.
Some more NOS parts, (kinda moldy!) which officially makes every last functioning part, nut, and bolt on my bike either new, NOS, or restored except the wiring harness; the correct length rear axle for the 900s swingarm and a vacuum petcock.

Build is going awesome it's 90% put together but now I'm hittin the road for work again. It's a roller and on front and rear stands till I get back. Basically just need to install the rearsets, bleed the clutch, and do the plumbing.

Was it a Penske that blew a seal or your OE shock? I'm considering a new shock..and a Penske is on the list. Since I have a spare "beater" Monster now, I may put my Bitubo on it and get a new shock with remote preload for my purty 944. Mainly i'm just at loose ends because I haven't spent any $ on my bike in weeks and I'm itching to, lol.
Penske build quality is superb.

Rude - it was a Penske 8983 rear shock that blew a head seal. But it blowing was my fault. Since getting the shock in 2011 it has had absolutely 0 problems. Less than 2 weeks to repair and resend.
I have loved my Penske since getting it when I bought my Monster from another Member.
I'm in the process of picking up a pretty much new penske 8981 for my 900. Probably a better upgrade than putting money into a refresh of the stock shock. [bacon]

Will do! This kit looks way better than this pic shows, I assure you. Its not a Motogadget as some guy was eager to point out but its not supposed to be. More like a higher quality and cleaner than OE yet still OE looking type piece. I'm having 2 brackets made right now for a custom fit to my IMA triple, an alloy piece and a carbon piece to compare. I'll post several pics when it's mounted up. Love the GPS, lap timer and shift light features and the tach can either run mechanically off the output on my engine or from my coils or Ignitech so it'll be cleaner than just about anything.
If you're trying to clean up the 900ss those big honkin clocks have got to go fo sure...

Ducati Performance
Thanks. Looks better quality than the standard version. Do you think the alloy is a better grade?
Cheers.

I honestly don't know. This is my first time replacing the clutch pack and basket. 25300 + miles on the original one! So I'm sticking with Ducati parts
Just ordered exhaust insulation wrap for my M900. Will try wrapping the alloy inlet manifolds with it to see if it will help prevent carb icing this winter.

Hmm, I might try that for cosmetic reasons! I didn't ceramikote or powder coat mine before having em flowed which I regret, and my engine guy doesn't want a coater going anywhere near em with a media blaster for good reason. Maybe I'll just hit em with some BBQ paint.
I did some mufflers with VHT brand flat black paint I got at one of the major auto parts stores. I think the flat black would look good on intakes. Incognito like and all that.
Yeah ain't trying to have flashy intakes lol. Of the stuff I've rattle canned I've had the best luck with engine specific paint that I bake in the oven. Most of that is because I'm impatient.
Just finished installing my Two Brothers black series carbon exhaust on my 696. Now, I just finished buying the P1-X "PowerTips" for them, since they are SUPER LOUD.
Also in the mail:
Motodynamic Tail Tidy
Motodynamic Integrated tail light
Ducati performance "comfort" / touring seat
I also just bought the bar end adapters for the CRG hindsight mirrors, since they don't quite fit on the stock M696 handlebar with the grips installed. I have them on now but fear they will fall off even though they seem pretty tight. I think with all of that I am done buying stuff for my Monster for a few months!!
I just got, and installed these:

Reeeally stoked on these...he scrapped the project due to lack of interest so I thought I was s.o.l on getting a set.

i just got a oil temp gauge that screws in place of my filler plug,seal kit for clutch slave cylinder and a digital volt/ampmeter gauge which i have yet to figure out how to wire in the ampmeter wire [Dolph] 93 m900
Which oil temp gauge did you purchase?
it was from brookesbarn parts on ebay. i just googled oil temp gauge for ducati monster m900 it was a jmp oil gauge

I have that same oil temp gauge/cap. JMT is the brand name tho I think...they are a British company that puts their name on a lot of stuff, sort of like Emgo or Bikemaster. Lithium batteries, hard parts etc.
Now if only I could find an oil pressure gauge with an M8x1.0 thread instead of 1/8th NPT.
Moon eyes maybe??

I got the same battery and it's great. I picked up the dedicated lithium tender/charger/balancer they make as well, it's a great deal @ $30. That battery has protection circuitry built in just like the more expensive Shorai and is a great deal...the battery plus tender together was $40 less than just buying Shorai's equivalent battery.

And much as I love BHP4 I would've had those anodized. They still came out awesome tho.
Just worried about the anodizing fading so I went the powdercoat route. BHP4 did a great job!

With all the BS crap I've impulsively bought that I either resold later at a loss or is gathering dust on a shelf or bin, I can't believe I snoozed on these when Speeddog put em in the classifieds. Figured I'd sleep on it and they were gone immediately. Meanwhile I have 3 brand new identical nose fairings sitting on a shelf and probably won't be fitting any of em. [roll]

I was thinking about this earlier. Why not go to a hydraulic shop and have them make one? Like use braided oil cooler hose and have the ends crimped on M8X1.0 on one end and 1/8-NPT on the other. Then placement would be where ever you like.

Oh I know, I hope you didn't think I was knocking it. I'd buy it if it had a little picture of Mocked Mouse on it...it's an oil temp cap and is a cool little detail doesn't matter what brand it is.

Nice [thumbsup]. I have the same chain in black&gold, looks slick. Did you get the screw type master link? I did and it was a cinch to install but unfortunately I made my chain too long on the first try and it went to waste. Got the clip type when I re-did it because it was local and I was impatient.

I did, I'm a little skeptical of its strength but time will tell. I couldn't find my riveter anywhere and looked around online for one and found a pic of the link and chain and decided to give it a go. New sproket and carrier = HUGE improvement over stock as far looks go.

Alternator/stator holding tool, so I can undo my flywheel nut without putting massive forces through the internals. I'd originally bought a motion pro gear jammer, but just don't feel ok with that method.
It fits over the ridges in the pic below, and the aluminium spacer rings means it doesn't get stuck magnetically.

If you don't mind can you post on how the battery holds up on that setup. I have an older NI Cad Craftsman 19.2 and the batteries seam to stop holding a charge after about a year. I have thought about buying the Lith Ion conversion for it, but don't want to spend the $70 if it will not improve battery life.
LiPo moh bettuh.....much moh bettuh! ;D
BTW, the video shows running the nut completely off the axle with the gun. It might just be me, but I try to avoid doing that and stop with the rattle gun as soon as the nut breaks free. I don't like the idea of the nut coming off the last thread and then going into a misaligned position while still contacting the axle. Okay, so I am anal about some things. :)
I will write a mini review and will report back about how the battery holds up.
Quotethe batteries seam to stop holding a charge after about a year.
It seems like your battery is suffering from the memory effect.
Ni-Cd batteries should be good for 1,000 cycles, at least.
(And I don't suppose you exceeded 1,000 cycles in a year.)
The main problem with Ni-Cd battery (for cordless tools) for occasional user is, that
Ni-Cd battery does self-discharge over the time, therefore, people tend to do “top of†charge
repeatedly.
One way to avoid this is to get a flashlight that uses the same battery, and use the battery (on the flashlight)
until it is completely drained. Then, recharged it.
Li-Ion batteries supposed to have virtually no self-discharge, so you can store the tool with fully charged battery
until the time you need it.
My suggestion ?
If you're more or less satisfied with the performance of the tool (other than the battery), buy the Li-Ion battery pack.
(But, make sure the charger you have now is compatible with the new battery before spending money.
IF you have to buy a new charger w/ new battery, and the cost exceeds the price of the new model (w/ XCP battery), there's no point. That case, get the Ni-Cd battery rebuilt.)

A complete MWR-filter setup plus ECU reflash with a Hypertrick map by Tomtom at Italia Bike Center.
The bike now performs as it should from the factory with no more surging when cruising @ 4000rpm and more power in the low/middle powerband. I can't believe I waited this long to have this done!

I see some nice bikes in here 😠I like reading all the post. It's pretty cool to see all the different ideas and different directions we go in with the monsters.
I picked up a 2014 Monster 1200S In mid September it only had 540 miles on it when I got it. So with the money I saved by buying a used bike I ordered a few parts. First thing was The Akrapovic header and silencer mainly because I wanted to hear the V-Twin. It's been installed. I recently ordered a set of Borrani M-Ray 9 wire spoke wheels with red hubs, red rims and black spokes. They should be here in January. I also ordered a Carbonvani carbon fiber fuel tank in matte with a red and white paint scheme and of course it won't be here until January either. At least I have something to look forward to when I get home.

These will have black spokes... and I'm thinking about doing white wall tires.

Picked up a few parts for a Monster build.
Roadracing tank that I had "depolished"; it had a mirror /high gloss finish that I despised. My metal guy put a #4 finish (brushed) on it. It'll need new clear coat or clear anodizing.

Tip: don't go for the cheapest powder coater. Had these guys redo my frame twice and it still isn't up to par.. Lots of orange peel. Great people, they just either lack the skill or the facilities to do a proper job. But as stated the bike will be a rider so I can live with it.

Just bought Pirreli Angel's at 4wheelonline (http://4wheelonline.com). Had good experience with them before so I decided to buy another set.

I have Motogadget switches (https://motogadget.com/shop/en/m-switch-408.html), but I've found them to be too small to work with gloves.
That's some good looking switchgear. 8)

They're not as sleek as the Mgadgets, but those are just two small to for me. Then again, since I'm already running Berringer MCs, it does let me eliminate another bit cluttering up the bars, so it's a wash in the end, I think.

T, that may just be the finest looking Triclore I've ever seen. The billet braking components are hot as hell and a great functional component for such a brutishly powered bike and those wire wheels look like what Ducati should've used from the jump, like the ones on the Brutale Dragster. Just perfect.
I just purchased the services of a talented fabricator (Randy @ Strada) and added trellis bracing to my OEM M900s swingarm along with a custom made shorty hugger/shock protector/mudguard/whatever you wish to call it. Also picked up a unique LED headlight unit made my Eagle Lites as well as an adapter ring from Motodemic.

G'day Hershell
Love the look of gloss over matt paint and I've had my C/F tank painted that way.
Problem is, there is a prominent lip where the gloss (blood red candy) meets the clear matt on the carbon tank.
Yours looks WAY better and doesn't look to have the 'edge' like mine. Do you have an 'edge' ? and if not, do you know how it was done?
Thanks :)
Good day, mansta there is a small lip but it isn't to bad. I don't know how it was done Carbonvani did the painting. My best guess it the thickness of the masking tape used would have a lot to do with it. Some 1500 or 2k grit sandpaper with some light sanding and buffing should get rid if the line. I would try a spot on the bottom of the tank as a test. Good luck with it.
I purchased the services of a professional metal polisher to restore my swingarm to "better than new" condition. I wanted the grain to match that of my tank. I wish I had more "before" photos, but the swingarm was thrashed; gouges, dents, scratches, the 2 rose joint mounts and built in spools were gnarled and chewed up, the quality of some if the welds were fairly meh, the bracing didn't quite match the rest of the arm.... It definitely looked like a 25 year old part. Speaking of those spools - I had them drilled and tapped so I could use STM ones. :)

Thank you. :)
I understand whatever remained of the factory anodizing (actually, did Cagiva/Ducati anodize these things to begin with??) is now gone. I'm mulling over 3 options: 1: use the same 2k Eastwood matte clear I'm spraying my tank with. 2: have it powder coated with a clear powder. 3: have it professionally re-anodized. Anyone here have an opinion / words of wisdom?
I'm pretty sure those threaded inserts are steel, which rules out anodizing unless you remove them.
Just spray it with the clear you've got.

Not to mention the rivet nuts that I hadn't thought about. Woops. I'm really intrigued by the clear powder. We'll see I guess... Maybe I'll just leave it be.
Oberon slave cylinder due to arthritic fingers, Rizoma brake resi cap due to corrosion and fancy timing side crank cover for no good reason but fashion.
Crank turning tool.
New Iridium plugs.
A set of used 2013 used 1100 evo 2-1 pipes for the 796!
The tuner that dropped my bike this morning (car nearly hit him) will be buying new bars, bar ends, clutch lever, gear selector and Termi sticker.
Thankfully the bloke was unhurt (apart from his pride) and the bike got off very lightly also!
For my M900; spare carbon rear hugger (getting rare for '93-94 models), special non-strip sump plug and billet oil filler cap (they are getting rounded out), clutch master cylinder (it leaks), set of tyres (to replace tyres from the Jurassic era), bar ends, new grips (to replace rizoma alloy grips) and fancy crank end cover. Oh and a road worthy certificate.
For my HM1100 Evo; special non-strip sump plug.

Yes, they fit right up. There's a a few who have already done this mod and posted, here's a pic of mine without the brake res bracket which I am waiting on from Duc Omaha

Installed the MotoDynamics Fender Eliminator Kit on my brand new '17 M821. Super clean kit, only $60, and looks fantastic.
I missed out on the machined billet clear cover, wasn't about to miss out on this deal:
https://motowheels.com/i-23899737-ducabike-slipper-clutch-ducati-848-sport-1000-gt-1000-mts1100-st3.html
Those are great clutches, folks. The grip was still ferocious on my dry version and plenty of engine braking.
Picked up NOS oem bits 'n pieces like axel nuts, caliper bolts, rear set bolts and alloy spacers for the muffler bracket bolts that really spruce up the bike since they're not dog shit brown in colour after 24 years. They got a good coat of polish to keep 'em that way. I note the factory changed to silver zinc instead of the groovy gold zinc which lasted 5 seconds. Also got new right angle tyre valves in black with nice little Michelin Man caps, bar ends, frame caps,etc.
Koko - Nick Anglada literally has buckets of freshly hold zinc plated hardware. Just an FYI
Thanks. Being down here in Australia, I never heard of him til now, so I googled him. Probably related. ;D That gold zinc has a Latin flavour that appeals to me and certainly did to the factory in the nineties. The silver zinc came later and that's all the dealership has now. All the old bolts I have will be stripped and re-plated in the original colour, in the future. I should be able to find a local plater no worries.
A Nichols carbed, single phase, alloy flywheel. You never know when you might need one..
Edit: out of stock.
As above, but as supplied by Kaemna. It is the "evo" version for carbed monsters at under 300gms (about 235ish iirc). It is obviously focussed on maximizing acceleration. I don't mind slipping the clutch down low as I have owned a HM1100 Evo. When circumstances allow, I will most likely grab an MTS1100 Uglystrada for touring/two up duties and then the flywheel will go on the M900.
Also some spare JE pistons for the long term rebuild, because this one's a keeper.
Flywheel arrived. I think it weighs about the same as the box and packaging. [evil] Oh dear.
I looked that part up, appears to be a sturdy little pie-pan to hold the timing dots and a small bit of steel for the trigger coils. [beer]
Not much flywheel action from that. 8)
You described it perfectly [laugh].
Reminds me of the first time I saw an early HD crank.
<said silently to myself> "WTF. That couldn't run for more than 5 minutes. Seriously."
They look like they'd go wonky real quick. That centre pin cops heaps.
The thin nut and short taper just blew my mind.
They do work, it's remarkable.
What did I just buy for my Ducati?
... well, I just bought a 2011 Monster 796!
I haven't been riding anything for a while. What a great bike! Now it's a question of what I am ABOUT to buy for it. Firstly, does anyone have any idea of the best place to get tank fairings / the plastic cover things over the tank? I previously had a 2007 M695 and I hate the way they did this on the next generation Monsters. The one benefit, I'd imagine, is that it's cheaper to change colors. I'd like to change from white to red/white/black - that look is so sharp. Unfortunately, I've found very few places on the internet selling those fairings and none in that color for a 796. (Are they all universal between the 696/796/1100 and across all the years of those?)
They're probably the same. Check that by looking at a few different bike's parts numbers (ducati.com a.s.o.)
Red/white/black was called Corse and I agree, it's a very nice look [thumbsup]
AFAM chain and sprocket kit.
14/40
New Michelin Power RS front and Pilot Road 5 for the rear.
That and the new chain and sprockets made for a super enjoyable ride today.
Lots of confidence in the front, even though not properly scrubbed in. Rear felt much better than with the Pilot Road 4.
Sounds like a good combo
Indeed!
So I finally got too old for the monster ergos, and bought these ;D
https://www.bellissimoto.com/parts/rearsets-footpegs/footpegs/aella-variable-step-bar-kit-monster-1
Set the pegs slightly down and mostly back (20mm adjustment bar), and my legs feel so much better. They sit a bit wider as well so my heel is not hitting the exhaust heat shield anymore. Much grippier than the stockers and very solid mounting. I think my positive experience with these is going to encourage me to explore some handlebars to further move the ergos into "old man" territory.
I also finally got my new tail bag from Kickstarter (ALMS NYC).
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/almsnyc/12l-motorcycle-tail-bag
Just the right size for the monster tail, and exactly holds my 2 thermoflasks and sammich for bringing lunch to work.
I bought a spare...
bike. ;D
A 2 valve track bike to back up my totally unreliable 853...which replaced the blown up 996 motor.
make the beast with two backsing Ducs... :P
What kind of 2 valver, 900SS?
New Mickey Mouse mirrors - hey I like them alright!
New brake and clutch reservoirs, brackets, grommets, bolts.

Yup...a 91 900...I think it's a 91. It was Ddan's bike.
I think I'm going to move the flat slides, and the top end with the high comps, to my Monster motor. I'll swap motors because the SS motor has the really uncommon short crankshaft. Left side covers are relative unobtanium. For a track bike crashing is a given so I don't want to trash that motor.
Good move, that SS has the 300W alternator before the 350W version came out in late 92 - early 93. Pretty thin on the ground for sure. My '92 SL900 had the 300W alternator and it struggled to charge a Shorai with the electric fuel pump. Flatslides will be good at the track. You'll be glad they're 41's as the 39's bite pretty hard off the bottom. I would agree with some that 39's are better on the road with part throttle inputs. I reckon the 41's come on softer down low and let you get on the gas earlier and harder, before they give their stronger top end power. That's given both have good tuning.
It's the track bike I hoped to finish my track era with. [thumbsup]
That bike crashes very well, you don't need to worry about it ;D

Looks great!
I have a Bursig stand too but sold my R1 2015 1 year ago. Have been trying to get the right adapter plate from Bursig (Patrick) but
look like it can not be obtained any longer. I am in contact with them again, a year later and 2 wrong adapter plates ordered, and hoping for better results.
Can you provide any help, insight into your set up, order, magic???
Thanks
Maybe you should ask a local machine shop to fab one up. That post is 7 years old man...

Revzilla, eBay and bersig they still make plates
There are also other lifts companies that have copied bersig
Today, gas. 1st time in over a year, I'm excited
Fuel Injectors for repair on the S2R800 and an Oberon Clutch Slave the Sport Classic
Red Ducabike engine breather for my wife's M1000S.
Engine O-rings to repair an oil leak on her M1000S.
O-rings to swap the M750 head studs holding on the horizontal head of the Coup D'etat (900 engine). Also to swap the vertical head with a brand new 0-mile OE head I found on eBay. (W stamp, so no one wanted it.)
My Keihin importer got a lead on a Motion Pro type quick turn throttle for FCRs that uses the existing cables. Ordered them to reduce wrist angle.
The old MotoBatt finally died so I figured I'd give Shorai a try. Read many post about the weight difference but it's really unbelievable when you hold them side by side. Install was dead easy...got it tucked in nice & tight. Can't wait to take it out to see if I can tell a difference in handling.

Guessing that's an LFX18 ? Shorai batteries feel so light it eels like the fuel tank is empty. Where did you put the Ignitech?
New tyres for the M750. Since its scramblerfied they are MT60RS like the Ducati Scrambler but in M750 sizes.
New Pilot Roads front and rear
New belts
Valve job/check
I'm sure Eric will add more to the list 8)

The IG's been riding between the right FCR & the frame for a couple years. I may move it to the battery box now that there's room.
Some thin adhesive foam and it slots right in there. [thumbsup]
