Question on Ducati Monster 696 Fairings

[tlh235]

Does anyone know if when purchasing new panels if they come with all the needed "bolts/screws"?  Also, does the the front windshield come with the new panel or do i need to take the "windshield" from my old panel before I sale it?  And lastly the front wheel panel, does it come with the little attachment on top that secures the "cable" or do i need to remove that entire thing from the front fender panel also.  thanks...

Funny... OK, you owe me! 

Had a Pantah kit from Italy fitted to my 796 before pick-up. Saved all the red take-offs naturally. I knew the bikini came with a windshield because I got a scratch on my new one (from a stone?) and had already salvaged a new one from my take-offs.

From what I can see, everything you need is in the new kit but no screws or other hardware. When you remove the originals, save every screw, etc. except leave the windshield on the fairing. I had to buy a set of mini torx and Phillips from Radio Shack though.

Crap...i knew i would get a different answer on the screws than the one i had already got...great thing about the internet...no one responds the same on anything...hahahha

Those body kits are supposed to be "quick fit" (right  ) so that you can change the look of the bike without huge hassle. A woman on the DMF has three! So, no reason to supply hardware. The cable holder is already rivetted to the new front fender for example..., but you need the little screw from the original bodywork. Who told you otherwise?! There is a youtube video from Ducati showing the swap in time lapse which is mildly amusing. Can't seem to find it quickly...

ok...thanks.  i will keep all hardware except for that little screw for the front fender tab.  and the internet site that i ordered the new black ones said they came with the hardware(should know better than listen to a sales clerk...hahaha)  thank you for the reply...saved me there!

You need the little black screw for the front fender brake line and abs wire plastic clip!

I, too, can confirm that no hardware is included.  The windshield is included and comes attached to the fairing, but you will need to use all the screws that are on the bike at attach the new bodywork.  If you don't currently have a bikini fairing on your bike, you will also need the brackets and bracket hardware to attach the fairing.  As Curmudgeon stated, the black clip for the brake line is riveted to the fender, but you will need the screw that's on your current fender to latch down the clip.

Kept all the hardware except for that little screw for the fender clip.  I'll just have to pick another one up at the hardward store or something.  Again, thanks for info on all this.
