I think the white bike black frame and white belly pan are absolutely perfect.

I really can't figure out if my bike would look better with or without the belly pan.....

I think it would look good both ways.  I think it just depends on personal taste.  What about on mine?


I think it might help balance things out.  I also think that on both of our bikes, it would look good to have the belly pan and black the rearsets and forks out.  Then it would really pop.

I like the red around the headlight.   waytogo

I've seen a Baracuda pan with a second color on the front.  Your bike with a white pan and red in front might look good!

Didn't want to start another thread.

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this belly pan.



The picture was pulled from this listing on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-2009-Custom-Ducati-Monster-M1100S-/190445989890?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item2c57773002#ht_1003wt_1167

This is the only belly pan I would consider over the Xcentrick piece.

No kidding! I'll definitely "squirt" them an e-mail.

That bike is still for sale. If I had the cash I'd probably pick it up. One nice piece.

catalyst racing composit makes that one

I know, because i have the same one on my 1100.  It's designed for every 2 valve, so it requires some cutting/drilling, but nothing too much.

$205 not bad. Just regular fiberglass, or is it plastic?

How did you mount it and what type of cutting was required? I have never worked with either of the above listed materials, how difficult would you say it is to get this installed?

Dremel with a plastic cutting wheel.  (it's fiberglass, but plastic cutting wheels work well on it).

Small amounts of cutting on the front side, depending on how your headers are routing.

The moounting points are pre-impregnated (identations).  Drill them out with a uni-bit

http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myProducts.cfm?parentcategoryid=1355|Monster%20Body,%20Windscreens,%20Fuel%20Caps,%20%26%20Mirrors&productID=5201&showDetail=1&categoryID=24|Monster%20600/1000%20S2R/S4R%20Carbon%20Fiber&vendoridtodisplay=0&filterFor=&collection=168|European%20Motorcycle%20Parts

 a set of these, and a few longer side cover bolts are where it mounts to

Pretty simple.

I used the forward mounting points from the rearsets to mount the back, but it's not needed, you can much more easily use those brackets in the rear as well, however I didn't have them when I first began mounting, and cut the holes too big.

Took about an hour to get the trimming done,and mounted for the full 1100 system.  I think it should require less work because of the header on the stock 1100/696/796, which should leave moreroom in the front.  (on the 1100 full system, you have to cut the front lip off to fit everything)

With cutting fiberglass, the key is to go fast. With drilling, use a punch to mark the spot, and drill from the outside in. Don't use a regular drill bit, it will crack the fiberglass, but a Uni-Bit will have the hole cut in no time

The most important thing, is that it's the only pan I've found that has oil-retention properties. Makes it very track/race friendly

The Xcentric one looks great.. shipping is crazy high though, maybe a group buy?

I was seriously considering Barracuda as well but there's a thread on DucatiMonster.org about a guy who bought it and it ended up catching on fire (melting most of his bike)

Refer to the 1st page of responses in the thread.  Apparently someone asked and they said no shipping discount for groups.

"Yea, I got an answer. They basically said that there will be no discount on the parts but you can order as many as you want and pay the same flat shipping."

Where are you located?

We can pay flat rate shipping for the bulk order to one address but then we have to ship it out from that location within the US to the actual purchaser

Oops, correction.  I just realized I read that statement incorrectly.  So, yeah, flat shipping to one location.

I'm in DC btw.
