Title: My 2003 Monster 620 rebuild Post by: rohalloran on December 04, 2016, 02:36:01 PM I have been meaning to put these photos up for a while. I bought the bike about 18 months ago with the intention of a project. I thought it was reasonable clean when I bought it but when you see it completed, it wasn't so clean... ;D
Some of the extra's I have added so far: Sodablasted engine to clean all the muck off it Powdercoated the frame, wheels, clamps, number of brackets Repainted tank and all panels Rizoma Handlebars DucaBike Headstock cap DP Comfort seat High Mount Termi Pipes CarbonWorld Rear Tail Plate CarbonWorld Rear Mudguard (In the post) ;D Oxford LED Indicators Few more goodies on the way: Mirrors MVS Aluminium Chain Tensioner Bellypan Techspec Tank Pad Upgrade main bolts to aluminium Welcome to hear any feedback or others thoughts from forum members. The full album can be seen here. I've just added a few to the post as a taster. https://www.flickr.com/gp/44713666@N06/8j21nH When I bought it (https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5327/31385728046_f411771316_b.jpg) The strip down begins: (https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5515/31385728636_2a29d74395_k.jpg) Engine out and ready to go to the Sodablaster (https://c3.staticflickr.com/6/5656/30600420234_3d8a92adb2_k.jpg) Throttle bodies out and ready to go for Ultra Sonic Cleaning (https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5577/30614456023_ddef7e9f82_k.jpg) Off to the Powder coater (https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5560/30614456423_e6bcbc6407_k.jpg) Body work and tank ready for painting (https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5692/31421681095_99d246d374_k.jpg) The rebuild begins (https://c6.staticflickr.com/6/5482/30614452533_a81b0a75f1_k.jpg) (https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5557/30614451633_0623ff7fb9_z.jpg) (https://c4.staticflickr.com/6/5487/30614443803_a59694c7db_b.jpg) (https://c4.staticflickr.com/6/5761/31421690235_5d26b75796_z.jpg) My favourite addition (https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5642/31307028231_1c6f3d4513_b.jpg) I'll be posting some better shots when I get the remaining few bits and the sun comes out again. Ducatis always look better in the sunshine I find... Title: Re: My 2003 Monster 620 rebuild Post by: DucHead on December 04, 2016, 04:02:18 PM Nice!!
Title: Re: My 2003 Monster 620 rebuild Post by: koko64 on December 04, 2016, 04:31:26 PM Looking good and getting the effect you want [thumbsup]. Nothing like fresh frame, motor, wheel and swingarm paint to freshen up the overall look. Makes a bike new.

Title: Re: Post by: slinemfc on December 05, 2016, 03:57:26 PM Great work. Makes me regret getting rid of my 620 earlier this winter 😔 was hoping to do the same but just didn't think I could do it justice.
