They look pretty good, Leon. Do you want to post up the contact details of where you got them done? Could be useful for other members.

For posting pictures, you need to use a photo hosting site. I use www.postimages.org/signup.

Once you've uploaded your picture, you should be presented with these options...

Click on the blue 'copy' icon next to the 'hotlink for forums' address and paste it into your post.

If you preview the post before submitting it, the picture will appear in the preview if you've done it correctly.

Thanks for the advice @Luddite I will also use this feature for future updates of the build.

Yes, I am happy to share the information if that is fine with the rules of the forum.
The company that made the decals is called 'classicmotorcycledecals2' and they can be found on Ebay.
I have no ties or affiliation to the company, just happy with the service they provided me.
I purchased from them in the past for a previous project and was pleased with the quality of the product they supplied.

The link to their store is:

Do you have a position for those two decals on an M900 1995?

Darkness · 12-10-2021, 06:21 PM

I wonder when they changed from the metal type tags?

Aha! Mines got the metal tag, like yours, so I guess youre right ,why would it have the silver vinyl ?

What about the ZDM one?

Darkness · 12-10-2021, 06:36 PM

Thats punched into the headstock next to the frame number.

Yes, I know its up there as part of the VIN, as well but the ZDM900M silver vinyl label isnt the VIN, Isnt it whats called a homologation label.......or is that the E3 label

Sorry, can’t give details of something I don’t have on mine?

I think you're right - the smaller ZDM label is known as an EC nameplate and is possibly linked to the Certificate of Conformity. I don't know what the larger E3 label indicates but it may be something to do in with emissions (E3/Euro3, E4/Euro4 etc.,)

Luddite · 12-10-2021, 08:36 PM

Thinking about the E3 label a bit more, it's probably nothing to do with "Euro 3", as that didn't apply to bikes until 2006, so you wouldn't expect to find reference to it on the early Monsters and certainly not on a label with the Ducati spelled out in the original Cagiva font.

PPuxley · 12-10-2021, 08:50 PM

So where is this on the bike

Luddite · 12-10-2021, 08:54 PM

A quick Google suggests that the E3 label is an "E-mark". The E-mark is a United Nations mark for approved vehicles and vehicle components sold into the EU. The E-number indicates the country of origin (E1 is Germany, E2 is France, E3 is Italy and so on...).

Can't help with positioning, I'm afraid.

Luddite · 12-10-2021, 09:07 PM

I'm not sure if this helps or just muddies the waters but here's a 1995 M900 frame currently for sale on eBay and it has a rivetted E-mark label.

Note that this is a US model, so label position/requirement may be different from Euro models (I know US models don't carry the smaller ZDM label, for example).
