Paint my S2R swingarm (Half done Jan '13 - pic page 3)

[hunduc]

well done sir, well done. that looks friggin amazing! when will you put it together?

Thanks guys!  The colors are a little darker than on the screen (mine anyway), with the red very close to Ducati's anniversery red and the grey might be mistaken for black.

I'll update with new pictures on the bike in a few weeks.

Looks Sweet!    Now i want to pull my DSS and paint it. On a side note, where is your bellypan from?

It's a 'Monza' type belly pan - don't know the manufacturer, but I bought it from MonsterParts.

Thanks, I'll have to bug Jeff to get them in stock!

here is rmartin's ti framed mosnter with a black swingarm:



i think he ano'ed the swingarm, but i'm not sure... i think he posted about it a while back

he did, here is the thread, but it looks like he might have painted it or did something to make it a lot more glossy:

Not trying to jack this thread but I've never seen this logo before. What's the story? Anyone know? Custom?


and personally, i like the black best.  red stands out a bit too much and is a bit too "blingy"

I like the powder coat look.  Ohmic nice wire hiding job on the Monster or have you not put harness on?

The Monster/MH900 SSS are the nicest looking swingarms.  I've even seen the monster SSS used on a handfull of non Ducati custom bikes in magazines.

Ohmic, did you intentionally heat treat the exhaust piping on the MH to give it that beautiful hue?
