Has anyone installed the Ducati Short Rear Guard in place of the stock tail on their monster?  This is the one I'm talking about:

Any pics of the part installed?  I don't want to do a chop, but the stock turn signals and tail are pretty crowded with my new Termis so I'm looking for options.  Cheers.

or this one at about half the price AND carbon fibre

Quite a few members has it - you will soon have their pictures, if everything works normally around here ;)

Awesome; that looks great, and thanks for posting the pic.  What turn signals are those?

That is the best non chop mod.  If I lived in a year round rainy climate I would so do that.

The Monsterparts one says $259...  isn't the Ducati one about the same price?  I think I've seen them at the dealer for $250-ish

I'm pretty sure those are the Shock LED directionals. I have the same thing on the front of my bike.

I got my CF no-chop on Ebay.

Here it is installed with the new Rizoma Zero-11's.

I got the DP billet signals because I couldn't find any other signals w/ a stalk that matched nicely, but I guess I didnt' think about mounting the Rizomas the way your did. Those Rizoma Zero-11s look real good mounted flush against the carbon tail!

I made my own:



It's a crappy angle for this thread, so I'll get a better angle later.  Basically, I took off my rear guard and "fabbed" (Read: I cut some aluminium strips to make brackets) some brackets to hold the lights.

My goal was to reveal more frame without chopping it, so I still have the full-benefit of a fender keeping my back dry.

Thats funny. I wanted to use the DP billet signals but I didn't because they were too much freakin' money!  [laugh]
