Ducati Monster Forum

Hello DMF
Long time member here located in south Texas.
Just thought to post a re-introduction of what my family and I call "The Little Blue Monster."

She's been with me for about 12 years after purchasing her used in 2007-8ish.
She is a 1999 model, Dark M750 that was in very poor mechanical and physical condition.
Click on the link for initial thread introducing my little project.

She ran fine as was but she was never quite "done."
I know they never are, but there were items left undone as life and other priorities came into focus.

The major items that were left undone that always pulled on me were:
1. Wiring was a bit of a birds nest.
2. Speedo wasn't hooked up to reflect speed, only tach.
3. Rear brake was non-existent.
4. Needed a bit more pep.

In 2017 I decided to take the bike to Revival Cycles in Austin, TX so they could finish this build.
In addition to them completing the above items, I requested they add:
5. FCR Flast Side Carbs
6. Motogadget M Unit Blue.

In addition to that they went stripped many of the anodized aluminum custom bits and followed more of a mono-chromatic color scheme.
It was either bare aluminum or black anodization.
We also decided to change the tank color from GM Blue to Porsche Graphite Blue.
The build took 20 months to complete. Mostly due to Revival moth balling all customer projects once a year during MotoGP in COTA as they organize and host the Hand Built Show in Austin. That delays most of the builds for a few months each year.

In any case, my little blue monster build was completed last month in June.
I wanted to share with this community the build as I am super proud of how it turned out.
Much of the knowledge, if not all, has come from the posts and threads I've read over the years on this and the other old forum.
Here's a bit of thank for all those that share your knowledge and experience with this wonderful brand and model bike. And thanks to everyone that's kept the forum going. I enjoy coming back to visit the site from time to time to see the builds people share.

Time for pics.
I hope these show up.

Tidy. That should zip along with those '39's [thumbsup]. Tyres MT60RS? Wheels?
Nice job and welcome again.
You could post in access and mods too.

Yes, yes, yes!  [thumbsup]

Missing a washer on the left side rearset?

The headlight brackets are WOW  [Dolph]

Yeah they're special. I've not seen that. One offs?

Thank you!
Yes, tires (tyres  ;)) are MT60RS.
Wheels are OEM PS takeoffs.


Missing washer? I had not noticed. I'll inspect a little closer.
It's a strong possibility as I purchased these used and were sitting for years before now.

The headlight bracket is a custom job by the guys/gals at Revival Cycles. 

The seat is also custom, semi?, as it retains the original pan but custom aluminum framing with new foam and leather cover. [thumbsup]
