Monster 696-796-1100 frame plugs ... *solved*

[Chris,desmoworld]

Hi Guys,

i work on the missing frame plugs for Monster 696-796-1100

i need your opinion for the big center screw... i think its better to cover the screw than to replace it.
why? i open the screw for testing and biing the nut on the backside falls down ...  

So if my nut falls down also yours can do it  

theres 2 possibilities to cover the screw ... produce a bigger plug or produce a plug which enclose the screw

the bigger type are much more easy to produce , but maybe "to big" ?




the enclosed type have to be cupped on the backside ,so more work but little smaler



what do you think?

i ask only about the diameter, not the design  

Thanks
Chris

I like the smaller one better.

Small type - maybe a larger center nut......

[mattc7]

smaller definitely. 

[Amlethae]

I'm likin' the smaller...

Can you make the smaller one match the plugs for the seat cowl?

I want the whole set!!

[Raux]

well for me, I want the lower frame plug that you have.

can you match the stock center bolt on style?


as for your set. the smaller one.
although I'm not against replacing the bolt itself, since I've done that job as a whole, it's not that difficult, but a torque wrench is required if you want to do it right. so i  doubt you could use aluminum since it's a main component of holding the frame together.

Let me know when you have em in gold and also in black to match my un-seat-cowl ones

[Chris,desmoworld]

ok you are 100% on my side 

the bigger will be a bad compromise ... i dont like this, but i better ask some people to be sure.

and the  result ... you also dont like a compromise 

ok i will go for the smaller ones , of course they will come on all designs

THANKS FOR YOU OPINION 
Chris

Hi Chris,

Is it possible to shop to vietnam, where ducatisti could be counted with fingers?

[Chris,desmoworld]

i never see a solution to cover also the engine bold on M696-796-1100 ... you?

i need some more test to be 100% satisfied, but i think tomorrow i can finish the project

in 2-3 week we can offer a full set to cover all frame holes on the new Monster

anybody interessted to cover also the big screw on the footrest kit ?

@crazycoder
we ship world wide ... except to china 

[mattc7]

i'm all for a black, better looking big rearset bolt replacement, as well as the big frame bolt, and the rear frame bolt in black.

the front one is already replaced with sliders, not pretty, but oh so valuable

[Chris,desmoworld]

ok i will do the same also for rearset screws

i keep you updated

thanks
Chris
