Seeing as the winter is long and as much as my best intentions seem to be I can’t help but potter and never keep anything standard. I picked up a monster in October last year having been unable to ride due to an ankle fracture in January. I managed get out for a few rides before the salt went down. Since Christmas I’ve added a few bits. Just fitted a set of GB Clutch covers, they are intended for an 848 as GB don’t specify they fit for the Monster. They are a perfect fit. I’ve changed the front and rear indicators for Ducati LED dynamics. A set of Marchesini’s in gold, RCS corsa Corta master brake cylinder, this required a different starter and kill switch, I went down the Jetprime route. The switch was a direct replacement for the throttle tube clamp which saves space. I’ve replaced the smoked reservoirs for clear, new chain and sprockets, titanium wheel nuts and sprocket nuts. I have put a heal tech gear indicator on.. That’s about it for now, here’s a few pics
How did you get the pipes so shiny? Elbow grease and autosol?? Thinking of having a go at mine but don't want to screw them up.
Yes Autosol and a rag. Once you start you are committed, that said once they are clean it’s easier to maintain
Challenge accepted… I’ll have a look at dropping the exhaust shield off, some of the pipes a knuckle shredder to get at
Shirley your KTM pipes will shine brighter than the Ducati offerings, especially as on new bike they’re easier to polish up?
It’s from Spark in Italy bought through Reactive parts in the UK,it’s meant for the 1200r,took a bit of messing and I had to make my own bracket to get it to fit,it’s a twin outlet
Shirley, how did you know.. I go minimalist. As in I clean it when its dirty. Polishing? Sounds like hard work.
