Ducati Monster Forum

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. 

For my Monster, I bought:
Brake pads  
Nothing flashy, but now it stops.

For My 999, I bought:
Plugs
Plug wires
coils
throttle body
gaskets
belts
pulleys
wiring harness
ECU reflash
oil
filter
Nothing flashy, but now it goes.

Rear LED indicators  (DP type)
Rear LED taillight (clear lens)
Front indicator clear lenses


thanks Desmoworld [thumbsup]

Speedy Moto Tall Boys, and am fishing for springs for S2R1K forks heading for my 05 620.
Just completed mount for 37L Givi top case, that's new plus the nearly used up rear cowl it attaches to.

Just bought and installed a Competition Werkes tail eliminator, and my Two Bros Racing Black Series CF cans just shipped!

Just bought hyperstacks and doworkson bracket.
  Installed stack kit over weekend,  waiting for bracket.

Bought months ago but haven't had time to install yet,  dp cams, dp timing gears, dp flywheel,  ncr cam covers.  Planned to install over winter, but got sidetracked with injuries

A tank of gas.

Just installed a new chain and sprocket set on my S4R.

Pantah/Penis belt covers

 [laugh]

I bought two yesterday... I'll need to buy another tomorrow!   [moto]





 [bacon]

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.

yeah but why...

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.

actually, with regards to your comment of older monsters rearsets fitting a 696 with some help, I applaud you  [clap]

New D.I.D. 525 chain for the s2r

Motodynamics integrated LED taillight, smoke.
Yuasa replacement battery.

M900 carb rebuild kit from mancusomotors on eBay, should be delivered this week... here's hoping that it's everything he said it was and that I don't goatrope the rebuild.

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]

niiiiiiiice

mobil 1 racing motorcycle oil, k&n filter

Michelin Pilot Powers to replace the 11 year old tires that are on it now... (previous owner NEVER rode the dang thing!)

Tomorrow's order:

Speedymoto 5-spoke clutch cover
Speedymoto Kukri Red pressure plate
Speedymoto Stainless Springs with Gold retainers

1) Cheapie Pazzo knock-offs.
2) Hydraulic pressure switch to replace the stock clutch safety switch (stocker isn't activated by the aftermarket lever).
3) Black retroreflective rim stripes.
4) New seat to have cut down for my wife.
5) Track spools (took some fab work to mount 'em).
6) A good Honda R/R to replace the stock timebomb.

i finally got my Stebel horn, $35 shipped off of amazon.

first thoughts before install: its waaaay bigger than i thought it would be

ill update soon once installed.

Ordered today...

Michelin Pilot Power 120/70 ZR17

Not a glamorous mod, but very important nonetheless.

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.

Like NorDog put it, not glamorous, but important!  8)

PC - V

all in the last few weeks:
front tire, lower triple, upper triple, rizoma clip ons, rizoma mirrors, anodized everything black, new quick change sprocket, chain, front fender,  [puke] . . .. and too much more.  this has got to end

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).  :-\

Power commander USB III for the S2R 800, S4Rt rear shock for the back end to match the S4Rt frontend that it now sports.

(http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h322/LayneK/DSC05159.jpg)
In the panning stages for new triples, clip ons, and possibly switching out forks, might as well do it all at once right...
Looking at speedymoto triples, I really want to figure out how to put the super bike top triple on, i like that thing!

Just ordered a set of Sil Moto's.  [moto]

Speedy SBK conversion top triple, waiting for an auction to end on a set of SBK forks.

I like your style 8) .... what clip-ons do you plan on using?

Evotech tail tidy, MPL Tuning clutch cover, and a Scala Rider G4 powerset

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'm with you - it was tune-up time.

If you can find them, the Tomaselli bars are nice.

i just got some rizoma weighted bar ends.. im getting it ready for the retro mirrors...

Last two things I bought for my M1100 were a Ohlins shock and OZ Racing wheels.  Man what a difference!!

oz wheels
='s drool [bacon]

niiiiiice, congrats!   [thumbsup]  [beer]

I do like those white wheels also!  Nice.

Oh, we ordered a GREEN gear indicator from GIPRO.

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 ...

RhinoMoto Bar-End Slider
SpeedyMoto Ducati Frame Slider Kit
Rizoma Rear Axle Slider
Rizoma Fork Sliders
Stebel Nautilus Compact Motorcycle Air Horn - Black (I hope it fits...)

I'm broke for this year  :'(

Traxxion Dynamics preload adjusters for the SBK forks. If only Speedymoto would get off their ass and send me my top triple this would be done by now...

the nautilus is a tight fit, assuming you have a "new" monster? i did, but its really tight. Its also a LOT bigger than i thought it would be

maybe you could try these instead?

http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-horns/horn-comparison-part-2/ (http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-horns/horn-comparison-part-2/)

Just got myself some "clip on" bars from Monsterparts.  There 50mm from apex.....I always add racer's ( Honda, Yamaha)  so i should be able to have a lower position...lol....it's just a personal choice....lol [Dolph]  So I'll be more stretch on to my bike ...anyting for you guy's  [cheeky] ;D...lol  i' wont post photo's of that...lol


Plus I add some  spring's for the clutch  ...they are red....lol

For my M1100s:

DP CF Top/Bottom Tank Pieces
DP CF Instrument Cover
DP CF Exhaust Heat Guard
DP CF Exhaust Butterfly Valve Cover
DP CF Rear Hugger
CF Termis
Rearsets and foot controls powdercoated
Ceramic coating exhaust

That's about it for the "recent" goods :). Pix to follow, need sunny weather to make decent photos.

A set of Dan-Moto GP Conical Exhausts; New fuel lines; Fuel Filter; Fuel Pump; Adjustable Levers and Re-Lined the tank...

All so I can soon be back to  [Dolph]

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

Just got a box of amsoil in the mail, as well as these puppies... [evil]

That's going to make a bit of noise.   :D

Evoluzione 28.5 mm Clutch Slave Cylinder and EVR Stainless Steel Clutch Springs w/ Gold caps.

Actually purchased during the ice storm this winter, but just installed today:

Brembo adjustable levers, 12mm pivot for coffins.  Black, no rash... thank you, DMF "Parts For Sale" section.

This for the M750.  The old tank pad pretty much wore off.

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.

New rear rubber - Diablo Rosso II  [thumbsup]

Some more gasoline.

lemme know how those work out for you... i have the diablo rosso's on right now, will prob move to either the drII's after these are done or just go to a st tire.  i'm wondering how much longer the dual compound formulation will last.

LOL

- Front & Rear Michelin Power Pures
- 14 tooth front sprocket
- spools for rear stand

Kriega bag US5 and tank adapter.

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...

(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/dji203/3d88b49e.jpg)

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!

Create an account on Photobucket or similar site, upload the photo and then copy the IMG code and paste in your post here.

Many farkles and a Superbike fork conversion.

Id be interested to see a writeup on this...

CRG Arrow bar ends, DP passenger grab handles, Speedymoto frame sliders

the problem im seeing at this point is the tuning, not only would i have to put them in, i also need to adjust the valves, and then reprogram the fuel maps.. id rather not do anything yet until the warranty expires, should be another year until the ducati dealer can remap the ecu or so they say

One of the two remaining NOS DTC-2's currently in existence.

(http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii181/Staggerlee101/fb8731cc.jpg)

Chris still has one more in black if anybody else is looking.

Bought some stuff for my Duke today.   [evil]

12K service + New Chain & Sprockets + New Rear Brakes (Mine seized up on me on the highway)... :o

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....

Where did u buy from?

Direct http://www.imasrl.com/ (http://www.imasrl.com/)  They speak/write English.

It's Italian vacation month now, so don't expect to get anything done for the next few weeks.

LSL Headlight brackets

Nice brackets, but they bring the headlight in too close. It should be further out.

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

ROFL.   I wonder how much time since he bought those clamps/brackets he has spent trying to get the headlight closer to the forks... you are crushing is spirit stopintime!

That was never my intention - I swear  [evil]

I was thinking they were too close too [bang]

I just bought my Ducati two speeding tickets and a mandatory appearance in NC :)

Worth it.

hahahaha

on the way for the new rs:
Front fender (999)
Speedymoto sprocket cover
Speedymoto top triple clamp
SpeedyMoto Monster bar clamp
Rhinomoto Axle sliders (front and rear)
Oberon gas cap
Rizoma bars
Aluminum Tail Chop Frame Plugs             
Evotech Radiator Guard for Ducati S4R-S4RS (Testa)     
Evotech S4-S4RS (Testa) Lower Oil Cooler 03-0215

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'm pretty sure I can now be given a ticket in my garage for violating the McCabe-Taft "Too Much make the beast with two backsing Awesome" Tarrif Act of 1887.

Awesome!!  Do you sometimes hear it start up during the night wanting you to take it for a ride??

I'm pretty sure it's running in my garage RIGHT NOW, and it's taunting my power tools by repeatedly blipping the throttle.

i want to hear those!!! post vid please [bacon]

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.

+1

Sorry, I don't have a video camera, but if you go to the Danmoto exhaust thread, some other members have posted sound clips.

A pair of these from BellisiMoto

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.

Some nice looking bikes! I'm currently happy with the way the bike is and what I'm using it for. Those black levers look good with the black Rimoza Reverse retro mirrors. I'm still trying to find the little plus for the stock mirror holes. I went to some hardware places here in Canada and couldn't find any. :(

Any chance of a good sound clip of those Arrows?

...and the charcoal canister...


(Sharp lookin bike  [thumbsup])

Got the GoPro...im just trying to figure out a good mounting location and which camera case yields the best sound (without getting too much other engine noise...)

New After Market headlight clamps (thanks DoWorkSon)

Rizoma Timing Belt Cover, Rizoma Rearsets, and Ducati Performance Luggage.

Up Next, Rizoma Sprocket Cover. Maybe exhaust at some point, but I think the stock sounds fine

...her replacement.  :)

actually, that's not quite true. got the bike thursday. today I ordered mirrors from Jeff.

I just flipped mine upside down.  No need to plug the holes.

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.

"Well, I'm having a hard getting the modification addiction under control."

LMAO Ain't gonna happen  [beer]

I just installed this slipper clutch a couple weeks ago, WOW  what a  difference.

(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d56/c3vette/IMG_0004.jpg)

Cortech tail bag enroute for my ride to Virgina this weekend, and hopefully Ocean City as long as Irene didn't completely destroy it.

hugger/chain guard, and frame sliders.

it's going to be a busy weekend, install-wise

Love the headlights. :)

Pretty sure Ocean City was mostly spared.

[beer]

 Just bought a 14 tooth Drive gear.

Just got a lightly used termi racing exhaust kit for my sport 1000s.  I will post pictures when it is installed next week. 

just ordered some sc-project slip-ons, but they are backordered for 4-6 weeks according to the guys at motovation, but im waiting.. cause they had the best sounding audio clip from the many many videos i had seen

I bought a JT 14. This is a phenomenal improvement!
DID VM chain too.

Superlite rear sprocket

Who is the cheapest supplier for arrow exhaust? Can't really find the "dark line" any where I look.

Have you checked Bellisimoto?

http://www.bellissimoto.com/ArrowMonster.html (http://www.bellissimoto.com/ArrowMonster.html)

check out pro italia... they offer a free reflash of your ecu if you buy slip ons from them.  about $250 if you reflash normally.

A NCR oil fill plug. 

...wish id have known that...maybe they will honor it in a couple months when she's down for winter...

thanks!

motovationusa.com has them pretty cheap too

wow. Arrow slip ons for about 600. I think I found my future exhaust supplier. Thanks man

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.

a $3 vinyl tiki sticker for the fork guard thingy...

just installed these bad boys last week.  marving megaphone from monsterparts.com thanks Jeff!

+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!

pazzo shorties... elephant ducati tank decals

The shorter answer would include what didnt I buy. My recent acquisitions and mods to my '05 620 include:

Rizoma: Black Handlebars
Rizoma: Sportline Grips
Rizoma: Spy-R Mirrors
Clear Alternatives: Clear LED Tail light
LED: Turn Indicators Front and Back
Saddleman Tail Bag
Ducati 80's Logo Decal for the tank
Painted Timing Belt Covers and Sprocket Cover Matte Black
Removed Chrome from Headlight Bevel and painted it Matte Black
Took a Bremel (or Dremel if you will) to the front fender and shortened it and shaped it like a 696 front fender
Found little round black plastic caps that fit perfectly in the screw holes for the oem mirrors on the coffin reservoirs (that gaping hole always bugged me)

Quat-D Exhaust should be here next week!!!  [thumbsup]

Smoked DP Windscreen
DP Tankbag

Bought my duc a open clutch cover Friday it got here Tuesday  :)

And today i ordered a new set of belts, a gallon of oil,a k&n oil filter, battery tender jr, set of spark plugs,chain wax, and speedymoto frame sliders, and a crush washer for the oil drain plug all from ca cycleworks the lady was nice as can be :)

And my duc is not even here yet :) it should be here by the end of the month, my duc is coming from new York

LED: Turn Indicators Front and Back : ordered
Clear LED Tail light : nice upgrade.
Jofama Bag For my road trip next week

Ordered a set of CRG arrow mirrors. Can't wait to ditch the cheapos. common delivery man...

Just ordered a set of Pilot Road 3's and a 14t front sprocket. Up next is a windscreen and some cold weather gear for me.

just ordered a scotts damper for my 900 monster

put a 14t sprocket on my 796, so far the power feels way smoother, and accelerates to 90 even more quickly [bacon]

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.

A carbon fiber seat cowl :)

Begun collecting parts for the my winter upgrade-

Hypermotard Rear rim
Speedymoto SBK Monster Top Triple
Gilles Rearset (Black/Gold)
Gold Racing Stripe
53mm Woodcraft Clip-ons
EBC Bake Pads
Spiegler brake and clutch lines

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.

I've got them going on an S2R80 with an quat-d exbox.  Didn't even think about the potential problem with the S pipe. [coffee]

which fender kit is that? i havent seen one like that before, is it the rizoma?

Rizoma, it is.

well if you dont have the passenger rearsets, you should totally ride with the cowl on.. completes the look

I ride with the DP cowl bag on but took it off for the exhaust install for some reason.

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.

Haven't had the chance to grab anymore, but here's a larger pic showing the headlights.

Do I win?

- oh and a drain plug from motowheels...

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...

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.

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.

Yes and not even on bends sometimes just lane changing does it - really annoying when in TomTom GPS app!! should be able to desensitise the function 😠 grrr

Getting back to the subject.... Santa bought me:
- Motovation sliders - frame / forks / swing arm / bars
- Gilles black rearsets
- Rizoma black handlebars
- Renthal Grips

makethebeastwithtwobacks me sideways with a lunchbox...I wish santa was that good to me!!!

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?



(http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/380057_613272665066_56502250_32611299_299018029_n.jpg)

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!)

Yea it does but you can lock the screen, I mostly keep my phone in there in case i get a text msg of important notice while heading somewhere. And to find miami backroads to avoid traffic

not for my bike, but i did get this for my phone...

Just finished rebuilding from my accident. New Rizoma Mirrors, Rizoma Grips, Rizoma Frame Sliders, and new body panel kit.

you bike is kinda awesome....

went on a bit of shopping spree for the sf...

rizoma foot pegs (the stock ones are a bit slippery)
evotech tail tidy
zard full system (the bulge out from the headers finally bothered me enough to change it)
speedymoto 10 spoke open clutch cover and gold kukri pressure plate.

i'll post some pics when i finally install it all ;)

New Pilot Road 2 Front

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.

Cap looks good, but I wouldn't want another key to deal with.

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
 [drink]

For the M900...got a carbon fiber Two Brothers can, to be used with the 2 into 1 system.

For me....Alpinstars SM-X 5 boots, for the frisky rides [Dolph]

I'm REALLY excited to see this thread when tax returns start coming in.   [popcorn]

Just ordered an EVR pressure plate and Rizoma elliptical clutch cover.

 [thumbsup] [coffee]

Stock ratio? or did you drop a tooth...

15 tooth , i think that's stock

Did you get a new retaining washer for the front sprocket - they do wear out.

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.

Just had it all installed, will put up pics soon.  Looks even better than I hoped.

Maybe also steel reinforcing band to protect the carbon sleeves?

Take lots of pictures - this needs to go into Tutorials [thumbsup]

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

(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/166955_10151298251005693_895470692_22944531_1338850247_n.jpg)

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, awesome™!

some plan B mirrors, in case my fix... doesn't...

Ti axle and sprocket nuts.Mine were getting rusty being a Japanese yardsale import. Replating and new oem prices here are such that I went for Ti hardware..
Spose they're lighter and more durable. Im slowly replacing all the hardware. Stainless engine cover bolts and stainless or alloy bolts are spreading all over the bike.

Evotech hanger and fender eliminator for my Evo...  [thumbsup] [Dolph]

Carbon fibre tank protector.  I wasn't planning on something this large but the previous owner had nothing and the paint is pretty well toast.  I spent an hour trying to smooth the clear coat out but to get it clean, I'd be through the clear coat.  I figure that I'll just cover it up.

1.0 springs for my forks!

Have not done the job yet, but a set of DP cams. 15K service is going to be FUN :-)

Did sprocket and chain kit and a set of Apex clip on bars.

This Saturday Nick in the Valley will be installing new chain/sprockets and a new clutch.

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]

Just got my Motodynamic smoked LED tail light delivered for the 620 Dark. Time to go find some sheet metal and do a poor man's tail chop!

AFAM quick change sprocket, chain, oil & filter. it must be spring.

Oh, and Nick's labor to put it all together.

Thanks Nick!  Great job.

We all know what ignition coils look like.  How about a picture of that T-shirt?

Sadly when I ordered it it was a Little bit too big  :'(  so it goes on the Pj' drawer ;D

Soo...your going to post a picture of it anyway? (now we just know its too big...still not what it looks like...)

Pr3 for the front of the s4

Speedymoto kukri P/P  ;D

used (new to me) 748 front fender...it's Yellow....now sanding and painting to flat black to match my whole bike.

Pressure gauge, along with frame plugs

CW Tail Chop Kit, and now I'm saving up for the big hit of new tires + the 7500 mile service. I know its going to hurt, but may as well do it all at once.

This modding has become very addicting!!! [bang]

Just bought a Cycle Cat top triple clamp & clip ons with 3'' risers [thumbsup]

How much money do you have?

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.

My stock bottom clamp has the hole to use my Pit Bull yoke stand [thumbsup]

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.

Ding ding ding  [thumbsup]

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.
My response to whomever would question a particular mod???
Is "PP"... Personal preference. [Dolph]

+ 1  on personal preferences

Some gentlemen prefer blondes  ;D

Some gentlemen prefer other gentlemen  ???

And some people actually ride Harleys  [laugh]

My last bike was a Harley Dyna WideGlide!!! :-\

I had that bike for 1.5 years and actually made $700 when sold it!
But I never Had a date want to ride it!!!
But, women love the Monster.... [Dolph]
My best 2nd date

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.

If I didn't care about aesthetics, I wouldn't own a Monster.  I'd have a Honda something or other and save myself a horrendous amount of headaches

EXACTLY & the sound!! [thumbsup]

I still always look at the Honda RR's on CL
Will probably get one...one day

If I like something and I have the money I buy it.  [thumbsup]

MotoDynamics smoked LED integrated tail-light. (http://motodynamic.com/product_info.php?cPath=17_18&products_id=176&osCsid=0q0hhhesiqtdq54mjl78lu7qs0)

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).

Cool, did you ever get that fan switch done?  If not I whipped up a kit version for Rule 62 and I'd do the same for you.  Didn't ask for any money but rather he give a $50 donation to his local food bank (pay it forward).

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.

Never run the BTO16 before but have heard they're great tires.

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!

For my 620 Dark...

ASV C5 Billet Levers Black
Ducati Seat Cowl Flat Black
JT 14T Front Sprocket
Drive Systems 48T Rear Sprocket
EK-SRX Gold Chain

48T???

14t front & 48T rear...!?

Thats a wheelie machine..Huh [thumbsup]

Somebody better than me at math figure out the % increase over stock gearing

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]

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/moore_clan/P5060105.jpg)

^^^^^  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?

Gas.

Some 916 Showa forks - now just got to figure out which fitting method to go with....

A garage mate. 98 ST2 silver with hard bags

Pics when i pick it up

Parts bike?

 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]

Clean!!! Don't care what anybody says, I like the chopped look  [thumbsup]

+1

I want

just ordered a motodynamic integrated tail light this morning, and it shipped already, hopefully i can get a video up when i get it installed, im excited to get the turn signals off of my tail

Consider chopping that rear hugger too? Maybe shorten it by half? And take the side panels off would expose more of that awesome frame.

Nice chop  [thumbsup]

Shorai LFX14A1 battery to replace the old one which was leaking acid! :o
Seems to be holding up pretty good, haven't had any difficulty cranking the engine, even though it was about 45 degrees when I went for a test ride. Did it mostly for the low self-discharge rate.

Carbon fiber front fender.

Here are a few pics of the head light and the bulb.    (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_1811.jpg)(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_1831.jpg)

Guess what I'm buying tomorrow?

 :P

(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/AnotherFlatTire.jpg)

a phillips head screwdriver?

 [clap]

Hey, I'll set 'em up and you knock 'em down.

Why did you put that screw in your tire?

I was bored.  Now my tread is bored.

I put a plug and some green slime in the last tire I had like that and got another 2,000 out of it. Not recommended.....especially if you are going on a long road trip, but it worked for me.

Were you out riding with IZ?



  [bacon]

Can't you see?  That's a screw.  It would have been a nail if he was with IZ. 

 :D

I win.  :o

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac51/rllout/nail/nail004.jpg)

Holy Smoke!  I guess you do.

More gasoline.

I've now actually spent about as much on gasoline for the bike as the price of the bike was.

For my M796

CRG bar end mirrors

EVOTech Tail Kit

ON way...

14T front sprocket
XCENTRIK Belly Pan
Left Side cover to replace the useless charcoal canister

Cortech Latigo RR and Spidi Fusions

(http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/yy130/rappevan/DSC03841.jpg)

you mean sidi... spidi makes gloves and the like...  [beer]

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)
Universial bar-end weights (from the local Honda dealer)
New bar-end mirror (doesn't fit but will go with Dual-STar mirror now)
Used (new to me) Motowheel clip on with riser (wrist and back getting use to it now)
New Arai Profile (Italian flag) helmet for me  ;D

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

PhilB

Best $40 I spent on my monster.

got a picture of this cover?

A set of BT-016's. 120/60 front and a 170/60 rear. Now I just need to figure out how to get them on without spending a small fortune.

Bought a set of gloves to replace the four year old Helds that got a little beat up a while back.


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.

Here's a picture of it before any mods were applied...

more useless bling for installation this weekend! fren tubo oil cooler lines, slingshot MC covers...

I should probably clean out all the old parts I don't need, too...

Anchorism
What kind/where did you get the Exhaust wrap? I want to do it but hear too much negative about it.
Looks sweet.
I'm a do mine.

whoa

Double whoa!  [thumbsup]

 
 [cheeky]

Very nice.

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.

(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/NewPilotPower.jpg)

Just spent waaaaay to much money again.

 [thumbsup] I've just ordered a Sargent seat for my Evo!

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.

An American Sister!  [thumbsup]

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!!

A truck ride across the country.  (dont say it...I dont have the time to ride it across right now...)

Idle-air filter.
(http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/norm/knn-ru-3490_w_m.jpg)

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
Rizoma Bars Gold
Rizoma Clutch Pressure Plate 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.

I can't wait for all of it to get here. I will post pics when I get in all installed. [drink]

I have just fitted ceramic coated headers to the s4 on recommendation of somebody on this site who I would like to thank. I found the header for sale at Ducati depot which are on your side of the pond and have nothing but praise for them I emailed them asking if the could get them ceramic coated for me and they said they could the deal was done and they were dispatched to me and afine job was done on them. Her are a couple of pics of them fitted.      (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_0274.jpg)(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_0273.jpg)

wow, that clutch cover... you are a brave man.

yea i would have put the cover the other way, but i think it only goes on one way

Don't use with long loopy shoe laces!!! :o

Most boots don't have shoe laces.  Easy fix.

I don't get it.  Brave?  I've run mine without any cover at all for a couple of thousand miles now.  Not one problem.

Same here.  Never an issue

One of these (just the crank):

Just got done with the 600 mile service and I had the dealership install the Wood Craft Rear Sets.  No more chicken wing thing for me.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/iy0h20.jpg)

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.

D&D's on my little city girl.

New front tire!

i got an expensive piece of paper that verified my speedometer accuracy [bang]

Ouch! I hate it when that happens ;-)

@jaxduc re the motogrips skulls -- they actually hurt my hands a bit on long rides. amazing what you can feel through the held gloves. i'm going to switch them to the capirex pro grips -- they have red too, and special stoner versions.

cool, thanks for the info.

A set of Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs.

Nice rubber! I think you will like them.

New fork clamp for my DP damper...old one finally expired.

Competition Werks smoke integrated taillight
Competiton Werks tail chop kit
New oil line for one the burst this weekend

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.

Well I'll have to see how they work out for me they're only 15$ so no big deal if they don't work out.

Ive had Bridgestone BT054's, Bridgestone BT016's, Pirelli Diablo Rosso's and a Pirelli Angel.
Each better than the last, so I'm anxious to see if the Mushies live up to all the hype.  (and even if they dont...theyll still be better flat than those goddamn BT054's!!)

I'll keep y'all posted!

A new Corse sticker  ;D

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.

PhilB

JE 944cc kit
CBR400RR passenger pegs to see if they will fit up and under the rear end, giving me passenger carrying ability but mostly hidden when not in use.

All these to sit on shelf gathering dust as bike still in bits :(

just ordered Rizoma bars and some new grips.

* Probike Super Grips
* CRG Arrow Bar end mirrors
* CRG RC2 levers

Installed the grips and mirrors, holding off on the levers after reading some scary stories of improperly adjusted brakes locking up. Any advice?

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...

Me too my friend, me too!  (Front wheel came off for the first time in 10k last night!!...excluding service visits and tire changes at the shop)

Wish it was something sexier, but I just installed a new set of sprockets and chain. Trying 15/43 this round. Maybe I can get out if first gear in the city!

what tire is that?

The new one.

 ;D

Shinko Raven I believe...

for a second there i thought it was a pirelli scorpion

rizoma sport handlebar, rizoma risers, rizoma pegs, carbon front fender, headlight cover, belly pan, been a fun week :-)

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.

Did it at the Honda dealer for $20 when I brought my tire and wheel in.

I got a guy quoted me for 120 per tire if I bring the bike in...

Just bought new exhaust for my 796.  Danmoto Conicals!  I know theyre cheap in price but they look and sound good.  Now im just waiting for them to arrive in the mail!

did you use the u.s., international or ebay site for purchase?

Genuine centre stand kit for easy chain adjustment / cleaning etc when bike is built.

Just need to locate some instalation instructions as theres a million spacers that came in with it.....

Shinko Ravens are correct.

I changed tire myself, just used some tire irons and some armor all (to lube the tire when putting it on). Its kinda a PIA.

Sounds awesome. What kind of bike and where did you get it?

decided to put my beloved 7 fiddy on Craigslist today  :(

Rear Michelin pilot road 3 c for my 1100 evo. 3rd tire in 2400 miles. Keep picking up screws somewhere

So, do you have the 999 already?

Nope...things came up and decided the Monster has to go.

I just bought a '95 900SS to keep my S4RS company  ;D

7500 mile service and an ECU reflash.

Nice!  What did you do to the outside of the exhaust cans to make them black?  Sorry if I missed it.

BlackBerry 9300. Tapatalk. FTW.

Red Rizoma Bars and a Fat Duc to get rid of all that nasty popping below 5k RPM

She's at the dealership now for her 600 mile service.  Their Ducati tech is on vacation until Sunday, so I won't be getting my 696 back until Wednesday next week  :( 

Bazzaz Z-Fi (with professional tuning) and exhaust wrap for my 1100 evo.

Complete wire loom whit 2 functional ignition unit + fuse box, general relay + 30a fuse, all the connector's ( in great shape) etc.. ....everyting ....  :o

That's what I want to buy for my Ducati... another Ducati!!!  [thumbsup]

Another dyno session for the poor old thing. Booked in for Monday.

Were you having electrical problems?

A Redline Engineering swingarm stand (http://"http://www.redlinestands.com/catalog/swingarm-stands-lifts/commercial-series/redline-commercial-swingarm-spool-stand-p-189?zenid=738c2925689c8f7777aeb9b6a21c5fc1"). Hooray for easy chain cleaning!

WaspWorks induction system, re flashed ecu

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 ....

 
install it today  :D everyting works  [thumbsup]
