696 / 1100 "Color Therapy" / "Kit Monster Art" in real life - add yours!

[mstevens]

I know KG5 and I have yellow (Giallo Ducati) kits mounted, and I just found out mrs. darkside has a light blue (probably Azzuro Mediterraneo) one. It seems that it would be a good idea to collect links to "real world" pictures of the various colors to help people in making decisions about whether to order a kit or not. With the stock Anniversary Red, Dark, Pearl White, and Silver, there's a total of 14 individual colors available on pre-painted panels for these bikes.

As of August 2009, they're USD$699 in the US for most colors (more for gold and silver) and can be swapped out with what's on the bike in a short time with a few hex keys.

If you've got a kit mounted, take pics. If you see one in the "real world" and take pics, or know of good pictures other than the 'shopped ones on the Ducati site, post a link.

Those who swap "stock" panel colors on different frame colors (while panels on red frame, red panels on black frame, etc.) or who've installed the various "special" tank skins should also be featured here. My basic interest in this thread is in color customization of new-style Monsters using off-the-shelf parts.

I'll keep this post updated.

Anyone who has done color therapy want to trade or sell their factory skins? I am looking for black ones. I have the silver ones on my 1100. The bike is a month old and there isnt a scratch on them if you want to trade.

that blue is electric that looks great

This is why I wanted to do this thread. That blue looks so much sweeter on a real bike than in the little booklet.

Me, too. That orange was the other choice I considered.

This hasn't come up yet but I wonder if non 696 1100 are a touch jealous of this uber cool option

I'm gonna say they are

People have been customizing Monsters since they first came out, including lots of fancy paint schemes. These kits are certainly much quicker than painting, possibly cheaper, and could theoretically be changed on a whim if you're made of money. Other than that, I don't think there's much to be jealous of.

If things go well, this week, I am going to move my matte black 696 bodywork over to a new 1100 red frame.  I will post pics if it happens.

If.

Hopefully I will get it tomorrow.  If I can get a good deal on the 1100.
