Title: Dp short tail kit Post by: Ralphy on July 11, 2012, 12:37:18 PM Hey guys,
Just received my new DP short tail kit. but it came with no instructions manual. Can anyone help me on how to install them? Title: Re: Dp short tail kit Post by: stopintime on July 11, 2012, 12:47:58 PM The DP version of this comes drilled for turn signals, yes?
I suggest reusing the metal plates that sits behind the plastic on your stock beer tray. You use the stock license plate light and mount it on the rear end of one of the aluminum plates. Not exactly intuitive, but both metal plates are mounted under the frame (at least that's how I had to do it) If there are two metal rods/bars - they are supposed to stiffen the frame/plate connection. I never used them.

Looks a lot better than the beer tray(well anything does....).

Title: Re: Dp short tail kit Post by: stopintime on July 11, 2012, 10:04:51 PM Who sells this kit? No chop required? My kit is from MonsterParts http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/010EDM/C-S2R-S4R/010EDM.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/010EDM/C-S2R-S4R/010EDM.html) Carbon fiber, no chop, not painted red, not drilled for turn signals, can use any turn signals or no signals. If you want to use the stock turn signals - the metal support plate from behind the stock beer tray plastic can be used as a template.

take a look in the tutorials. I think there was one for a DP short tail. but in the end, this might help DIY: Ducati Monster 696 Rear Fender Removal & Replacement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3ge8mtzd3I&feature=related#) Title: Re: Dp short tail kit Post by: stopintime on July 12, 2012, 07:08:41 AM OP has a new monster. look at his avatar. ...................... Do you blame me for trying to promote the earlier Monsters? ;D Title: Re: Dp short tail kit Post by: Ralphy on July 15, 2012, 04:29:41 AM Thanks Guys,
The video was great help. I took the tail off already and now assembling the new one, should finish today. I will post some pics when everything is done. [beer] |
