I gave in 15 years ago, Dirty, when I got my first Ducati. Actually, I blame Steve Hillary who used to run Moto Rapido from a small shop just round the corner from where they are now. (He's now the man behind Redmax - have a look here at some of his interesting customized Ducatis http://www.redmax-ducati.co.uk/).
Anyway, I only popped in for some service items for my M900 and Steve gave me a copy of the Ducati Performance Monster Catalogue. I couldn't believe the range of goodies on offer. Well, I was hooked and the rest, as they say, is history. |

Thanks, Mike. I've still got a long way to go to match your carbon content, but at least I've got something to aim for. By the way, did you get your engine cover resprayed? If so, were you happy with the results?
Also, I always liked the look of your fly screen. Can I ask where it's from; it's not standard is it? |

Wow, lovely looking bike! Thanks for the breakdown. I have just started making my monster my own and have started with a beautiful pair of ASV levers too.

The fly screen is made by Fullsix which came from Steve at Conquest Carbon - lead time is about 6 weeks unless he has one in stock

Just thought - if you want the bottom half of the headlight surround in black to go with the carbon top - you can order the bottom half from the Diesel 1100 version - Snells came up with the idea when I was looking to change the headlight

Great minds...! I talked to Craig at Moto Rapido last year about doing just that. When I found out the cost was about £80, I went off the idea! I've thought about spraying it with a black wrinkle finish to match the yokes but I'm not sure if that would look better or not.
