IIRC it's still a hard colour to match up so if you can save the original finish then I would. I guess if you're using that cracked frame then it will need paint and would look better if it matched the wheels.

There may be some paint codes for '97 in the Monster Bible so I would check there first.

There’s quite a lot of info here:

http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...e+paint+colour

Looking at some photo’s, it looks like there are at least three shades of frame from ‘93 to ‘98, and the champagne wheels were fitted with bronze frames for at least some ‘96 bikes.

Now for the part I actually enjoy doing… the wiring! I am building this loom completely from scratch, save for things like the handlebar switches, although I am replacing the outer sheathing as it was tatty. I know this is something a lot of people struggle with but over the years I have developed a system… I start with a design in my head and I put it down in rough on my Ipad, using an Ipencil which I find brilliant. then I transfer it to visio, which I print out and add the colour of wires on as I go along. I don’t try to it all on one diagram like in workshop manuals, but keep separate pages for different circuits like lights, indicators, ignition… I also create tables of key components where they have pin outs.

All this is put into the build folder which I always pass on when I sell the bikes.

I have a nice crimp tool which is normally sufficient, but if I am in any doubt I put a dab of solder on the joint. I also don’t use pre insulate connectors, instead I put 20mm of heat shrink on which makes a nice joint, and the heat shrink also supports the joint. If you use the glue lined heat shrink, it also makes the joint waterproof. this is of course if I am not using super seal connectors which are not only excellent, but also cheap! and finally, I use the most useful little kit, which has tools for removing all types of pins from connectors!

Oops! The link seems to have changed since I posted it.



The bike looks even better moving than in the thread and sounds glorious.

The original link worked for me yesterday Lud so all good and Yea, it looks and sounds very nice but quite un-Ducati Monster S4 like, but loud still. Must be those mini Conti style exhausts.

Just read through this whole thread, amazingly great work, I particularly like the window belt covers you made. Have you considered making and selling these? I could see a queue forming if you did.

funny you should mention the belt covers... they are easy if time consuming to do...

Run out of a few wire connectors so moved onto the cam belt covers till they come… I made some of these a few years ago and they worked well… but this time I have made the holes oval and I think they look better. used a hole saw to cut the circles, and a saw in the dremel to cut the straight bits. just got to carbon dip them now and make the polycarbonate windows…

Also mounted the plate that holds the hall sensors

I hope you are wearing an appropriate dust mask whilst cutting and cleaning up the dust. It’s really nasty stuff if it gets into your lungs!
