Title: Monster SBK Post by: m9hundo on March 12, 2015, 07:37:56 PM I was looking up 749's and came across this take on a naked SBK.
I would ditch the headlight for a traditional monster headlight. http://www.bikeexif.com/ducati-749 (http://www.bikeexif.com/ducati-749) Title: Re: Monster SBK Post by: NAKID on March 13, 2015, 09:37:57 AM Yeah, that headlight kills it for me...
Title: Re: Monster SBK Post by: Bill in OKC on March 13, 2015, 10:49:01 AM I've seen another bike - maybe on this forum - that had the same headlight and it seemed to work better. Maybe it had a fairing or something to break up the length? That headlight doesn't work so well on this bike. It does have a nice industrial quality to it but it is just too 'out there'. I wonder if the light shakes a lot at night.

Title: Re: Monster SBK Post by: DucRS on March 14, 2015, 11:04:46 AM Looks a bit odd but I like the looks of the headlight. It captures the rawness of the whole scheme.

That Monster is the BIZ-NESS Title: Re: Monster SBK Post by: Bill in OKC on March 25, 2015, 09:48:58 PM Yes, that is the one I was thinking of - looks like it is set back into the triple a bit deeper and the small fairing does something Thanks!
actually I don't think it is the same headlight but I like Celli's a lot better. ... and it looks like both bikes have the same front fender mod ... http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/BOMb/002/%2821%29.jpg (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/BOMb/002/%2821%29.jpg) Title: Re: Monster SBK Post by: Rudemouthsky on March 26, 2015, 02:11:20 AM Yeah the HL looks like a vintage Rolli:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Rollei-Rolleiflex_SL66.jpg) I dig the spirit of what he tried to do, remove and modify what's there instead of adding a bunch of stuff, and I sort of don't hate it. But it's also pretty absurd looking. Every time I see an STM slipper clutch I turn green with envy... |
