Clip-ons from Apex one's

[ducatigirl100]

Ok.... I've put the clip on's on the bike   and it look awesome!!    (photo's.. maybe tomorrow.....)  and it fell so much better...   I just can Wait to try it!!

One thing that i didn't thought about is the choke....on y monster 1995 m900 the choke is on the steering nut..grrrrr so how can I deal whit that??? is there somebody that add the same problem???

I thought, I could dissemble the choke to take it out of there ...but I still need the choke...is it possible to place it somewere else and how I do that???

[He Man]

remove it, get a cable, relocate it. done


you are getting to the point where you are asking questions that have very simple answers, which is simply, why not?

[ducatigirl100]

I actually knew that I add to get another cable and relocate it ...that was a given     what i was asking is "where is a proper place to relocate it??"   

[ducatigirl100]

So, here's a photo of my bike  to give everyone an idea.... 


but im left whit some leftovers ( choke)

and a better view...

[ungeheuer]

Maybe keep a look out on ebay for a used Ducati M696 left handlebar switch assembly - the M696 has its choke/fast idle lever integrated with the switch assembly.

tank's I'll look for that on e-bay  ...I also tougth that since I'm gonna take out the airbox soon and put some pod filter ...there a braket holdind the airbox near the regulator maybe it's the place to be...

and also sorry for the IZ_ pic ...here it is again 



I dont realy like the big speedometer ....proebly gona get someting from motogadget..lol

[He Man]

is that a Frankenstein 900?

cause i swear there was 2 rotors on all the monsters except the 750 and 620 at some point.

[ducatigirl100]

If your talking about the brake calliper and rotor at the front ...I think that the guy WHO sold it to the dealer took it out.....   he probably needed the money to put it on the road ...    Immatriculation cost is very high in Quebec it goes up to 1400$ a years + insurance cost....  

I've notice when that the rear brake rotor is beyond spec use ( I use my micrometer)
So the guy probably used more of the rear than the front and he add probably has the biggest "chiken strip" that I've ever seen. I used a hole inch further on each side of the tire

I didn't notice it till I got home and saw some photo's of the 900......
So I have to get a new caliper and a front rotor  + cable!!

[ducatigirl100]

What a lemon !!! but it's a beautiful lemon ..lol

So total coast that I wasn't supposed to put on the bike :   ( yes, I work in a bank  I always keep track of thing's )

- Ignition module  ...fond it on eBay 160$ 
- battery ...  because I'm a girl and when someting doesn't work we buy another battery...lol     115$
- K & N crankcase vent filter 30$
- new signals light 50$
-Used starter motor 150$ + 4.8 hours at the dealer  400$ + 350$ of transport for the bike
 ( It was on warranty so I didn't have to pay it...   )
+ now brake caliper + cables+ rotor  maybe around 700$

So total cost = 1955$ ....wow !!!    I would've buy some high class higheels, get my nail's done + a handbag  whit all that money   ....lol   

[He Man]

the wheel and fork has to accept the new rotor as well.  That is if he didnt crash the front end of the bike, and swapped the wheel forks and calipers from a lesser monster.



Just to say though, if you are going to buy parts for this bike you might as well upgrade, otherwise you are really cheating yourself out because it seems like you could of bought a no issue bike for much cheaper. than scattering of parts.

....I dont realy like the big speedometer ....

A speedo calibrated in MPH too  .... And since Canada uses sensible units of measurement I'm guessing this bike originated south of the border?

[ducatigirl100]

That's what I've guess to... probably from the south....but it was a long time ago because the ancient owner was in Quebec.
