It's not a hardtail.  That hoop is a standard part of the suspension for 888-based monsters (pre-'02) ('cept for the '01 S4).   Look at the yellow hoop on this 888:

What Spidey said.

The big question is why would you bolt on a bunch of CF but leave the emissions canister?

Carbon hugger, sidecovers, and heelguards were OEM on that vintage M900.

CF Cans, clutch cover and beertray are not OEM.

It's attached to a rocker at the top, the other end of which is attached to the top of the shock...so it can move.

Here are some side views of different types of 4 bar suspensions (with movies if you scroll down to the bottom).  Unfortunately the hooped 888 version the OP was asking about I do not have drawn...

If you want a video - http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=32414.0

It's shows how to remove the shock - so you'll get a good overview of parts involved in that set up.

every time I think I want a ton of CF I see something with old CF and the desire just disappears.
