Aluminum.
It gets surprisingly warm, which tells me it's doing its job.

Hi  Here a little mod that I've been waiting to do for a long time  I've just bought a dremel so let's cut !!! A part that I never really like on the monster is the rear seat cowl ...it has those "flange" on the side that doesn't really fallow the line of the bike so after a couple of month looking at it I've decide to "redesign" it  so let's cut  ...make sure to wear safety glasses  , a mask and some gloves !!!!!fiberglass is really nasty stuff it can get into your eyes and your lung's  here a hole to secure it to the seat  and voila it's now just need a little paint will I'll do latter  |

Nicely done. Course now your passenger grab handles stick out like dumbo ears. Time to fire up that Dremel again.  |

Pretty sure that's a Ducati Performance tank, available as an aftermarket accessory.

Looks good, agree that you should dump the grab handles too if your doing that mod.

I bought a spare set of OEM rear sets for my M696 off of ebay to mod. I chopped off the passenger pegs & the long part that held them, and then sprayed them in wrinkle black paint. They came out OK, but I wish I would have waited a few more days before installing them. The paint was still soft so there are some blemishes in the finish. Oh well, it only cost me about $45 and I still have my stock set if I ever need them. Before:  After:  |
