Ducati Monster Forum

Hi guys, I'm back in Monster land.  [Dolph] . I've recently bought another monster and I'm looking for wheels and build ideas.

Please post pictures of your aftermarket or powder coated wheels and pleas include specs if you can it's helpful in the long run.

Thanks Hershell

Nice bike. Welcome back.

Not orange, please, but I love this wheel design idea....

Marvic penta I magnesium wheels.

Still not sure if I like the gold paint and might paint black, but I love how they change the handling of the bike. After riding the stock wheels for 14 years and 110,000 km, it took me a couple weeks to get used to how quickly the bike turns in now. I've heard a number of people mention how lighter wheels is the best mod you can do to improve handling, but I was shocked at the difference. I had previously done a sbk fork conversion and a rear ohlins shock and they made a difference, but the lighter wheels transformed the ride to another level.

If you, or someone you hire, paints them be very careful with prep. You don't want to expose the magnesium.

Thanks for the info guys.. I was thinking of powder coating my wheels, but I went a head a bit the bullet and ordered a set of Borrani M-Ray 9 with Red Hoops, Red Hubs with Black spokes.  ETA is the first part of January.  

I would have thought there would have been more wire spoke wheels in the monster world. I think the wire spokes really stand out on these bikes.

I sent Alpina an email about wheels for a single sided swingarm I was disappointed they didn't offer one.

I remember you telling me that before when I asked specifically about these wheels when I first bought them. I actually turned down an offer from a paint/body guy buddy to do them cheaply when he said he would sand them down and paint them. I was worried he would do exactly as you warned.

I looked at the Kieno wheels I think they look amazing. Since MV is using them on the Dragster I thought I would go with something else.  They look really good on the MV

The BORRANI spokes rims available in 6mm or 9 mm
I choose the 9 mm for my S4RS

Thanks Teedee those white and red wheels look amazing. I thought about the white rims but chose red. How do you like them? I would like to see a full picture of them on the bike. Did you get new rotors?

I know you already made the decision but I'll throw mine up for the hell of it.

I actually choose the white and gold, but for me white rims are the best looking on almost any bike, but the worst to keep it clean
I had to change the rotor (i'm waiting T drive to replace those serie ORO) because the front rim is actually for older monster 6 bolts on the brake disc and did a 5mm spacer as well to adapt it to my S4RS

Hey teedee brown, did you have to buy new bearings and seals for your wheels? If so what parts are need to get them rolling on the bike?

Hi Hershell
No need any bearing or seals, just change the brake disc and add 5mm spacers behind the disc.
I'll post some more pics later
 

Can I use the stocks rotors? Where did you get the spacers?

Pics would be awesome thanks.
