Hehe...its the ducati performance fairing I pick up from the forum a while back when I started my mods.
Didn't know what I was getting, when it shipped I was like wtf, but now I like it more than any other fairing.   Cool


ahhh... so that's what it looks like on the bike  Smiley

Here the link on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUCATI-PERFORMANCE-CARBON-HEADLIGHT-FAIRING-MONSTER-99-/120906775290?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1c269afafa

And...yes sir, I'm putting those clipons on this bike since I have no other bike to put it on hehe...please excuse my sarcasm.   Grin

Thank you for all the comments.

Duckoff...the headlight is morimoto projector retrofitted to the stock bucket, fairing as said above.  There is a lot of discussion about retrofitting and/or go with Kyle option of using trucklite phrash 7 led....it goes on and on.....here the link to the thread.

And...

So is that Fairing only an option for pre 99 Monsters. I'd love to get one for my 05 620. Looks pretty sweet. Any other options for post-99 pre-08 monsters?

They all had the same size headlight. If you can't figure out SOME way to mount that thing, you're not trying hard enough.

it's will fit...all the same size headlight bucket like said.  it bolt right on the two nuts on the side of the headlight.

It's CF,  and I painted it to match the overall of the bike....don't like CF that much.

Me neither. Nice job on painting the CF. I'm looking at a flat balck Ducati seat cowl cause I worry my paint job of a CF Seat Cowl would not come out so good and I hate paint not matching.

The only thing that might throw a kink in the install....do you have gauges under the fairing...stock?
I have the DP gauges and they get in the way when I try to get less forward angle om my fairing[bang]
****something to consider

True...I can see that now I'm thinking of it.

Can you lower the gauge?

My bike came with that same CF headlight fairing, and I took it off because the windscreen on it was super tall and it looked really goofy being the only piece of CF on my red bike. You've inspired me to look at ways of painting it/cutting down the windscreen to make it look as awesome as yours!  waytogo

Chopped and painted the exhaust, painted the belt covers, and painted the sprocket cover

Belt covers, exhaust.


Sprocket cover

 waytogo Really nice ...I like the idea of painting the sprocket cover the same color as the bike...  waytogo  looks cool and it "softens" the motor  by having just a little bit of color down there  applause       

It will definitely go no my list of "things to do"  Smiley

*nothing fancy in this post*

OE plate mount had the rear reflector too close for me to fit my frame, so I hacksawed it off and made a little bracket.

also fitted my state's safety inspection sticker (which was on a plate bent awkwardly between the bottom of the license plate and the rear reflector... stupid...) to a new spot on my SSS. I'm quite content with how it turned out.



crappy pic, but you get the idea

Can you elaborate on how to do this?

took the measurements for the hole spacing on the plate, hole spacing for the reflector, and how much additional clearance I would need... fab'd the bracket on my break at work, i'll take better pics.

for the safety check plate modding, I did it billy lane style in the garage with tin snips, my hands and knee, a dremel, and a pistol drill.

the plates are cheap at the dealers, and I do kind of want one that's cleaner made, even if nobody ever sees it. if I get off my lazy butt to do it, I'll post pics of that, too
