Frame Decal - Page 3

Thats it, Thank you. Id seen the curved tube and got fixated with the RHS and couldnt make it work, without thinking there was the same curved tube on the left......Doh!

PPuxley · 13-10-2021, 07:12 AM

Interesting. The one above was on a 96, I think wasnt it? 93 or 94 dont have it. 95? Im inclined to think it wouldnt have it, since it shares the metal E3 label with the 93 and 94

OK, continuing the theme. Could someone photograph their chain tension sticker. I know my bike isnt "authentic" to period but if Im going to put that sticker on it , it might as well be the right one!

Trouble is Ducati quote now the replacement part as 43312201A.....but that says "adjust while on centre stand" which is clearly incorrect.

I think the correct part was 43312121A but its now obsolete.

There are lots of possibilities 43311081E, 43312121A to name 2 , but none seem to show the correct combination of style of Swinging arm or reference centre stand.

So it would be useful to see an original stuck on a swinging arm and if possoible the part no reference in the bottom right.

Rivet Counters Unite!

The ‘94 is more convenient to get to:

The picture of the swingarm looks like an SS monoshock?

This is apparently from an M400 but shows the part no. you mentioned.

A check on the Ducati Coventry site is still showing that part number for £3.76 do it might be worth contacting them or Moto Rapido to see if one is actually available.

I’m inclined to agree with you Patrick. If you leave it off for now it could be added later.

It would be helpful if the other ‘95 owners could confirm whether theirs have it or not?

PPuxley · 13-10-2021, 11:49 AM

Yes, I saw that. So its right for style of s/a and side stand but has the wrong plat , which should be 30mm for the M900 according to thegactory manual. It would be good to see a label actually on an M900

Here's a 900 swinging arm showing the correct tension and side stand instruction.

There's a replica here

So you’ve got the picture of an SS swingarm with bracing and different chain tensioners too!

Luddite · 13-10-2021, 02:25 PM

I've just remembered, Nasher was selling a 900 swinging arm recently http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=57965

This is a picture from his thread and so it looks like the braced arm graphic is normal for the Monster.

Better image from the eBay seller, which looks like a pretty faithful reproduction.

PPuxley · 13-10-2021, 02:28 PM

Yep, seen that one too, wrong swinging arm shown. But i admit maybe they never did do the right one. Needs photo of the label actually on a live bike.

Nasher · 13-10-2021, 02:46 PM

I've just looked at the images of the three Ali arms I still have for sale:
http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=59456

One of the images shows one with a decal that depicts a Monster/851 type arm, one has a decal with an SS type arm, and one has no decal.

PPuxley · 13-10-2021, 03:08 PM

I cant blow them up enough to read the numbers. But it would appear, in best Italian parts bin assembly style, anything goes. Thanks for looking

Luddite · 13-10-2021, 04:11 PM

This is a screenshot (@ 7:20) from a video of the stripdown of a 1995 M900.

If you look closely, you can just see that the decal shows a braced swinging arm.

Dukedesmo · 13-10-2021, 04:35 PM

My Monster has a braced swingarm, probably 851/888 racing? (it had the old style hugger brackets although I cut them off and fitted the rivnuts to suit a later hugger) it doesn't have the sticker fitted but I also have a standard, unbraced swingarm with a non-braced, Monster sticker.
