Hey Gang,

I own a 1999 Ducati Monster 750 Dark.  I have seen several Monsters converted into Cafe Racer style bikes.  I am looking for parts like handlebars, headlamps, etc. and don't know of any companies that do that kind of thing.  How do I post pics of my bike?  Any info on dong this would be great!

Thanks!

For cafe mods, there are a lot of options.  I don't know any sources specifically, but here is a cafed monster that just about everyone likes:

Welcome to the board.  I've got an idea for you; instead of wasting all the time and money re-doing your bike into a cafe, just buy mine.

Why would you want to sell that thing?  It is perfect.

[thumbsup] To show off the (single) brake set up and the (left side exit) exhaust?

Thanks for the links, guys! I think I just need to find parts more than anything.   Is there any place to find the DUCATI lettering that isn't just stickers or painted on?  Are the metal letters for the gas tank anywhere?  I bought some die-cast stickers of the hollowed DUCATI but would prefer something more tangible.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

There are a number of websites online that will put together emblems for you. I don't know if it's stock, but I have the emblem on both sides of my tank in chromed plastic, like the one on cars.

It wouldn't be cheap, that's for sure.  With the exception of the stock master cylinders, I have all the parts to take it back to stock, so any potential buying would get those as well.  But, wave $10K at me and we might have to talk.
