Title: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: Rudemouthsky on April 27, 2013, 11:05:13 AM Discovered the one thing about my M750> 900ss engine upgrade that just plain sucks. My 750 had big, hard, metal dicks protecting the belts. WTF is this plastic BS? This is crap. What was Ducati thinking, allowing such a thing on such an otherwise gorgeous machine???
It's been talked about, but can't seem to find any detail on modifying the old metal Pantah covers to fit. Some kind of mitre/"s" cut at the ends. Anyone have a clue? I can't live with this garbage on my bike. Thanks... Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: kopfjäger on April 27, 2013, 05:02:38 PM Take em off. ;)

Even the anodizing on my speedy moto fancy belt covers have faded to purple might powder coat them black :-\

Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: uclabiker06 on May 04, 2013, 10:13:02 PM Assuming you know how to paint, you could just paint the plastic covers some sort of chrome/metallic color of your liking and then it will look like metal. Btw, the covers are there for a reason. If the right size object, made out of the right material, gets wedged in a pully you could shred your belt...highly unlikely but possible.
I don't know if making the pantah belts fit would be worth your while. Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: muskrat on May 05, 2013, 07:07:38 AM you might also be interested in dipping the covers in dye, I did this on my 900 and they turned out great - if you stay with plastic covers. There's a thread on here for the procedure.

Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: Rudemouthsky on May 05, 2013, 07:01:35 PM The plastic belts have actually grown on me. I might take a dremel to them and put some kind of wire mesh behind em'.

Quite a different outlook from your opening post. ;) Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: Rudemouthsky on May 06, 2013, 04:13:02 PM Quite a different outlook from your opening post. ;) hehe. I tend to be a bit dramatic Title: Re: These piece of ^%#* plastic cam belt covers Post by: sr79labrat on May 13, 2013, 09:45:57 AM I also had the idea of doing some billet aluminum covers. We could anodize them as well. :) Had an idea for my S2R 800 which would be similar. Let me know if you are interested. Text might be best 719-360-6174 since Im hardly on here.
