Ducati Monster Forum

I just completed a Monster built from left over parts from other custom builds.  The bike was assembled using parts from:

• Frame: 620ie
• Motor: Sport Classic 1000DS

• Swing Arm: Hypermotard
• Gas Tank: 620ie steel tank

• Forks: 916SP
• Several parts from: 1000 S2R, 900SS, 620ie, Multistrada, M1000S, 900M

The swing arm was a bit of a challenge.  Lot of machining and special custom made parts to make it fit, but looks GREAT!
Next will be the exhaust system.

this is very interesting from a technical standpoint....
but didn't ducati already design a DS1000 with a SSSA???

are there any advantages to the HM swinger over the standard S2R1000 swinger?

1) This bike was build with "left over parts" from previous builds, 3 HM swing arms in stock
2) S2R/S4R swing arms are verydifficultt to find lately and also far too expensive. HM and MS swing arms are plentifull
    and at very good prices.
 3) Ducati never fitted HM swing arms to Monsters

I have to add that this conversion is only cost effective if you have a machine shop at your disposal or know someone that can do the machining at a very good price.  This is not a straight "bolt on" conversion like the S2R/S4R swing arm.

Looks great. The stock S2R/S4R swingarms are beautiful, but the HM swingarm is clean looking.  It looks like it could have come from the factory.

I love it when talented people put together great looking, usable Ducatis from spare parts. Another reason to use a HM swingarm would be if you had a spare or salvage engine from a HM or MTS. The HM or MTS engine/swingarm would fit into the classic Monster frame without any machine work required.

Trav,

I have a MTS 1000DS motor in stock, but it will not work in a monster frame.  The reasons are:

• HM and MTS narrow case motors do not have swing arm pivot bearings in the motor case like the Monster.
• HM and MTS uses bearings in the swing arm (like the Ducati Superbikes) and the swing arm pivot bolt is secured to the frame on the outside.

• Monster swing arm pivot bolt is only secured in the motor with no help from the frame.

Thanks for the info.

Another cool thing about this bike is it will be the only DS1000 Monster with a wet clutch.

 [thumbsup]  Looks great!

Looking forward to the rest of this build [thumbsup]

Looks great but the chain looks like it is too tight.

I was looking at a Hyper yesterday and wondering if it would be a direct switch. Love the look, nice work!

Very nice Johann  [thumbsup]
The HYM swingarm looks like it could be factory

Isn't that an earlier SC engine with a dry?

Yes the chain was very tight at that stage of the build, but was properly adjusted before final testing.
The motor does have a dry clutch, from earlier SC.
