Title: interchangeable headers? Post by: smee on January 12, 2012, 07:48:58 AM I am sure this topic has been beaten to death over the years, but I will ask anyway as I couldn't find the answer after searching? Do 2003 m1000 headers fit a 99 m900? As far as I know the m1000 was based on the m900 so the head height should be the same. Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.

One unrelated question for you, maybe you know. What type of paint did ducati use on the monster engines pre 2000? I have a little rust starting at the top of one of the heads which will need to be addressed asap. Thanks in advance! Title: Re: interchangeable headers?

Ask me how I know [roll] Title: Re: interchangeable headers? Post by: smee on January 13, 2012, 07:46:52 PM Also, Sil moto headers don't always fit. Ask me how I know [roll] [laugh] That is good to know for future reference. I was looking at a complete TI exhaust from a different manufacturer. Title: Re: interchangeable headers?

No idea what the paint is, but it's a lot better than the recent stuff. :P Title: Re: interchangeable headers? Post by: Pedro-bot on January 14, 2012, 04:09:31 AM 2003 1k monsters are DS?
I didn't think they dated that far back. Title: Re: interchangeable headers? Post by: Speeddog on January 14, 2012, 09:44:07 AM All 1k motors are DS.
